This beauty showed up today after three weeks or so in transit. It’s the Czech edition of The Road to the Dark Tower. The signed edition comes in a case (not a slipcase, sort of clamshell, I’d guess). The inside of the case is lavishly illustrated, and the package includes a bookmark and an envelope containing cards of the illustrations that are also in the book itself. The dustjacket is a lavish wraparound, and beneath it on the front cover is a very cool illustration of Roland.
The endpapers are rose-ish, and there are color illustrations on the dust jacket flaps as well. In addition to the full color plates—one per chapter—there are spot illustrations at the head of each chapter, too. And on the back of the case, a rose.
Such a beautiful production, and I can’t read a word of it! Oh, yeah, it has a brand new introduction by me, and an afterword by Kealan Patrick Burke. Illustrations are by Jiří Dvorský. They have done a lovely job of translating and illuminating my first book. I am well pleased. Check out the slideshow below! You can right-click on the images and open in a new tab to see larger versions of the pictures if you want.
