Limited Number of 1st Edition ‘IT’ Books Being Rebound for Incredible Gift Set

Published

on

The man behind high-end company Dragon Rebound Editions provides a pretty damn unique service to book lovers, particularly fans of Stephen King.

His name is Paul, and his passion is purchasing 1st edition copies of his favorite books. But he’s not simply adding them to his personal library. Once the books are in his possession, Paul then “works with bookbinders to rebind the page blocks in a unique way that ties into the story being told between the pages.”

The books are bound in leather and feature elements such as raised bands, gold tooling, marbled endpapers and custom headbands,” Paul notes on his website. “The books are then housed in either a slipcase or a traycase.”

The rebound books are limited to 26 copies of each title, and once they are sold, no more are made. The latest Dragon Rebound project? Stephen King’s IT!

Just unveiled today, the third custom-bound book in Paul’s series comes in an elegant traycase that’s outfitted with a custom-welded, cast iron sewer grate. In addition to the incredible packaging and book itself, the limited set also includes a giclée print of the first edition cover art, along with a print of the artist’s unused original sketch concept.

The inside covers feature original, hand-painted art, and an origami replica of Georgie’s paper boat will also be included with this mind-blowing release.

These editions are first offered to owners of the previous custom-bound book, who have right of first refusal on new titles. If a previous owner declines to purchase the new book in the series, then Paul contacts people on the wait list in the order in which the list submission was received. You can be added to the wait list here.

The estimated release for this one is May 2018. The cost? A whopping $1,475!!

Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth's prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
