It's actually quite cool. If you wanted to READ this edition, you could and it wouldn't really get in the way. I was afraid a gimmick like that would make the book unreadable, and even expensive limited editions are still books and SHOULD be readable. And this one is.Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03910873055922510145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233203994322586500.post-62968087052468347962012-03-04T08:06:44.570-08:002012-03-04T08:06:44.570-08:00Thanks, Keir.

I've been buying Folio Society editions which are really works of art (literally in the case of David Eccles's covers) and beautifully bound with slip case. But then, the books deserve the treatment, being acknowledged literary classics. The Carte Blanche cover is refined but the bullet hole going through the pages just seems appallingly cheesy and red edged Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780519140837852601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233203994322586500.post-42197960920593164142012-03-03T21:39:06.630-08:002012-03-03T21:39:06.630-08:00Nope, didn't know that!

It's SO much more satisfying than the really disappointing limited edition that came out at the time of publication, which is basically the regular UK First in a flimsy, unwieldy, top-loading box. This one's just a really satisfying book to hold. I've had a "Judging a Book by Its Cover" post half-written about this for a while, but I guess there's no need Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03910873055922510145noreply@blogger.com
