American Gods roman

Description from Suntup Website


Our edition of American Gods by Neil Gaiman is presented in four states: Classic, Numbered, Lettered & Roman Numeral. The edition measures 170mm x 243mm (6¾” x 9⅝”) and features ten illustrations by award-winning artist Yoann Lossel, an introduction to the text & afterword by Neil Gaiman reprinted from an earlier edition, and the two American Gods sequel novellas, The Monarch of the Glen & Black Dog. There are nine full color illustrations and one monochrome illustration, all of which feature gold foil accents with offset print production supervised by the artist using his preferred printer.


Interior design & typography is by renowned designer Michael Russem. The text pages are set in Requiem types, and are printed letterpress by Pat Randle & Ellen Bills at Nomad Letterpress on a Heidelberg Cylinder in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.


The Roman Numeral edition is limited to 10 copies numbered I-X. It is hand sewn and covered in full black Katsina fine goatskin from Harmatan and Oakridge Leathers, with a laser cut pattern from a design by Yoann Lossel, reflecting the blocking on the interior illustrations. The leather is overlaid onto hand colored mouldmade Bockingford 190gsm watercolor paper. The endpapers are also of the same hand colored watercolor paper.


The covers feature hand applied dusting of genuine leaf with hand tooled stars and dots in metallic foil, and a hand blocked title in pigment foil, with the volume number hand tooled in pigment foil. The top edge is colored to match with applied genuine leaf. Head & tail bands are leather with hand stitched detail. Volume 1 is red, orange and yellow with genuine 22k yellow gold leaf and gold tooling. Volume 2 is blue, turquoise and green with genuine platinum leaf and silver tooling.


The front and back sections of each volume are black Hahnemühle Bugra with the frontispiece illustration tipped-on in volume 1 within an ornate frame foiled in three shades of gold.


The edition is printed letterpress on 120 gsm handmade Velké Losiny from the historic paper mill in the Czech Republic which was founded in the late 16th century and continues to produce beautiful handmade paper to this day. The paper for this edition is a special making with a custom watermark of a Gryphon.


Housed in a cloth covered clamshell enclosure with velour trays, the edition is published in two volumes and includes a fine art print with genuine gold leaf, and a print of the Classic edition dust jacket art. The edition is signed by Neil Gaiman and Yoann Lossel, and is hand crafted by multi-award winning bookbinder Kate Holland in Somerset, United Kingdom.
