A Outrance by Philip Pullman
Ruscombe letterpress art edition
Some of the world's finest designer bookbinders have been commissioned to produce fifteen individual hand bound copies which will be on display this Christmas at the Oxford University's Bodleian Library from the 15th till the 18th of December.
Each book offers an exceptional example of how the
artist has interpreted the book. The book has been meticulously printed
letterpress by hand on traditional cast iron Heidelberg Press one sheet
and one colour at a time on paper handmade at the famous Ruscombe Mill
in France.
In addition to signing each book, the author has inscribed in longhand a piece of text taken from the original novel.
Each volume is accompanied by a separate set of the six powerful woodcut images used within the book, printed on the same Ruscombe paper and separately encased. Each print has been signed by the author and artist, to create a set suitable for framing.
