first edition

i made a small run of these FAILED MEMOIRS books.
this first edition is of 15 copies.

here's some details in list form:
-i sewed all the bindings by hand, no staples.
-16 color pages, a title sheet, and a hand-lettered cover
-each copy is numbered out of 15
-the booklet includes all the book covers in the previous posts plus a couple others i didn't post here.
-i think i'm gonna make another larger edition with different covers next week. those will be sold at a couple shops and a gallery.
-these first copies have the special bonus in the form of a small ink drawing i'm going to stick inside each one. it's gonna be a drawing of a face. it's a surprise.



this is the cover. the title is written in ink by me on each one.
the cover is made out of recycled/repurposed cut-up leftover 2009 calendars.


this is the title page. you can see the image from the leftover calendar on the inside there.


this is the page where i write the edition number. this one is 5 of 15.


this is what a couple of the pages look like.


this is what the centerfold looks like. you can kind of see the thread binding.

UPDATE: SOLD OUT.
i'll let you know where to get the new edition, sans bonus drawing.

thanks for looking.
thanks for the support.
peace

"everybody would say wow"

the coming flood




these books will be in a booklet and i will tell you all about it when it's time to do so. it's great to have and idea and be able to do it to death for a few days. and then be able to share it with the world. it's been a while since i mentioned how good and productive the blog-deal can make one feel. it's a good thing if you make it good for you. thanks blog!
