Just 26 editions of the lettered state will be produced. Printed two colour letterpress on Magnani Mouldmade 130gsm paper by Pat at Nomad Press, this edition features unique bindings, case and title setting.

Bound in finest Harmatan black goat with 2 blue leather labels and an inlay on the front board with hits of foil stamp designs unique to this edition. It includes 4 raised bands, rounded spine, coloured headbands and all 3 edges gilded gold, this is the most luxurious edition of The Blade Itself ever produced.

As with the previous editions there will be 7 tipped in pieces of art (including a frontispiece) and a fold out colour map. The lettered also comes with a marbled endpaper and foldout piece of art (the illustrated endpaper used in the other two editions).

It’s housed in a black and blue leather solander box with a rounded spine, and blind stamped cross hatching across. There are also 3 hits of foil stamping on the leather covering and inside is lined with a sumptuous dark blue suedel. I also hope to include a few more surprises with this one.

This edition is signed by both the author and the artist.
