Description: "... for everyone who has read Dark Hunter and wondered exactly what kind of trouble Sword encountered at the first private convalescent hospital he had considered for Kendall Marsh (see page 131 of the Babbage Press first edition), here’s the answer."
- from the introduction to "Bluebound"
Please note: this is NOT Galen Sword #4. "Bluebound" is a short story that "fills a hole" in Dark Hunter.
All three editions will be issued simultaneously at the end of April. Jpgs of the numbered and lettered editions will be posted by April 10th. For those of you who can't wait, here are the details:
Bluebound, an original chapbook, is offered in three states, all produced on acid-free stock:
A 500-copy unsigned trade edition was produced by LSI.
One hundred hand-sewn, numbered copies were signed by the authors on a black & white signature page. The cover stock is Stardream, a 105 lb. Citrine Mica from Italy. It was issued in a translucent, marbled vellum envelope.
Twenty-six lettered copies were signed by the authors, editor, illustrator, and designer on a color signature page. This edition features Japanese stab-binding, blue Hindumomi metallic paper from India over boards, embedded blue tiles, and a silver message tube ... bluebound, of course ... within a regular FedEx™ box.
Four presentation copies, produced for the enjoyment of the authors and designers, were not offered for sale.
