This auction is for a one-of-a-kind copy of People Are Strange by James Newman. It was made from the original softcover edition produced by Croatoan Publishing (2008) and rebound by hand into the hardcover, traycased version you see below in the pics. It is signed by James Newman and artist Alex McVey.
I'll be selling this book as an auction with a starting minimum bid of $250. To make a bid, you can either send me a private message here at The Crypt or email me at Contact@HedgesBookBindery.com. Please place the words "Strange Bid" in the subject line of your message. I will place the current bid amount at the bottom of this post as they come in and I'll update it as soon as possible.
Read below for full details on the product--
People Are Strange by James Newman. Sofcover into hardcover book modification. I did something a little different this time. I decided against foil stamping for the title and did the whole thing as an inlay. Two different leathers to make up the cover and I carved the inlays using the font from the title page of the book.
Here's the cover--
I used a decorative imprinted heavy stock for endsheets--
A closeup of the imprint--
I topped it of with a red ribbon page marker and luckily, this particular softcover edition was signed by both James Newman and Alex McVey.--
Now for the traycase. I thought with a title like People Are Strange, I'd make the case a little strange as well. lol
To start, I used a reptile print cover material. I think it's soooo cool. It's all shiny and textured n stuff. :-)
A close up of the reptile material--
For the inside trays, I went with a pearlesent ruby red material for the walls of the trays and a patterned and textured felt for the floors of the trays to give the book a nice cushy bed to rest in--
A close up of the felt. It matches the textured endpapers of the book itself--
Actual shipping costs will be added to the final purchase price of this book and will include insurance and delivery confirmation if available.
Contact me if you have any questions.
Minimum starting bid is $250
