Suntup's I Am Legend

I mentioned in the other thread that this is one of the nicer Suntup books that I have, so here are some pics. This is the numbered edition, which features a quarter vellum binding with Spanish marbled boards and foil stamping on the spine, printed on Teton with deckled fore edge. Six black & white illustrations by Allen Williams, edition of 250. I have to say I'm a sucker for the deckled fore edge. The numbered edition is printed letterpress, and it's a very light kiss more than a bite. I certainly wouldn't mind a bit more bite.

Anyway, here are some pics (and please note I'm really not that good at photographing anything, let alone books).

I wish I liked this story more than I do, as the production values seem high on this edition, I like the design choices and it trades at little, if any, markup on the secondary market.

Can you comment on the paper? Believe this was printed on Teton, which the upcoming Simic collection is also using.

>2 jeremyjm: Yes, paper used is Teton. For me, the paper is the best part of this book, it's really nice and thick and very tactile (and like I said, I'm a sucker for deckled edges).

A really nice looking edition; unfortunately, I have absolutely no interest in the title.

This one is a puzzler for sure, when it comes the secondary market prices. It always sells for less than issue, so it’s a great book for someone interested in finer editions, and the book itself.
