The Stand Rebound
August 2019 – May 2021
Over Eighteen Months in the Making!
This custom-bound edition of The Stand by Stephen King is hand crafted using the book block from a Doubleday 1st edition originally published in 1978 and is limited to ten copies, two of which are kept in-house.
Bound in restoration calf and black goatskin by Shepherds Bookbinders in London, this edition features designer endpapers which are hand-painted with spirit dye and acrylics. Headbands are handsewn using silk threads, and the edges are hand painted with acrylics. The cover is hand tooled and finished in white gold leaf. The clamshell enclosure with a rounded spine is covered in black goatskin and lined with suede.
Ten copies are numbered I – X
– On Hand and Ready to Ship –
For those unfamiliar with these books, we work with hand bookbinders and other artisans, to rebind an original 1st edition book block, and we incorporate elements of the story into the design of the binding. It is our way of paying tribute to the work of Stephen King.
