This copy comes from the private collection of Michael Russem, who designed the book for Paul Suntup. He has also signed the colophon of this copy.

Michael Russem produced innovative fine press books for his own Kat Ran Press for many years; he now runs a bookstore and gallery near Cambridge, Massachusetts, and he also designs books for many publishers. Among the books he designed for Suntup Press include Slaughterhouse-Five, Silence of the Lambs, Blood Meridian, and The Handmaid's Tale.

Edition + Condition: Fine. The book designer's copy, signed on the colophon by Michael Russem as well as Neil Gaiman and Yoann Lossel. In a fine slipcase. One of the most attractive Suntup editions, IMHO. With the official bookmark laid in.
