Frozen Hell: The Numbered Edition

The Numbered Edition is limited to 300 copies for sale. It is fully bound in baby blue lambskin nappa leather which is soft and smooth to the touch. It is foil blocked in four passes in white and black, creating a snowstorm design across the front and back boards with the title on the spine.

The binding has a square spine with a wide groove between spine and boards, allowing the covers to open freely.

All of the plates are tabbed or sewn in, allowing double, treble and quad plates to open out without a stitched gutter.

The book is housed in a sturdy, white-suede-lined slipcase and is covered in a light blue-grey Windsor cloth with the a silhouette of the Thing, the alien discovered frozen in the spaceship, foil blocked to the front.

Binding is by Richard Tong and Sam Cartwright at Lyra’s Books/Ludlow Bookbinders.
