The Ubiquitous Book Blog conducted an in-depth review of both the Standard and Deluxe states of Peter Pan. Watch the video review below or visit their website to read the detailed write-up and view more photos.

Limited to 500 unnumbered copies for sale, there is a limit of one per household. A portion of proceeds from the purchase of every copy goes to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, helping the Hospital to deliver life-changing care to patients and discover new treatments and cures.

BINDING
The Standard State is handbound by Ludlow Bookbinders in quarter Apple Green Cialux book cloth and Art Nouveau decorative papers from Rossi, both made in Italy. In addition to butterflies, flowers, and flecks of gold, birds are prominently featured on this paper, alluding to Peter’s status of being caught “betwixt-and-between” a boy and a bird in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.

ILLUSTRATIONS
Lavishly illustrated throughout by Charles Vess, there are nine full-colour plates, including the frontispiece, printed on Nova Matt 130gsm paper and bound into the book. Each of the twenty-three chapters begins with a unique pen and ink illustration while the endpapers are double page spread maps of Kensington Gardens and Neverland for the front and back, respectively, completely redrawn by Charles Vess in pen and ink.

 

PAPER
The text block is made of Munken Pure Rough Cream 120gsm (80#) paper, made in the Swedish village of Munkedal at the historic Arctic Paper Munkedals Mill, founded in 1871. Powered by hydropower, it is considered one of the most environmentally friendly paper mills in the world.

ENCLOSURE
Each copy is housed in a handmade, suedel-lined slipcase foil-stamped in gold with an illustration, title lettering and the names of the author and artist. Inspired by the Deluxe state of the first edition of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, illustrated by Arthur Rackham, Charles’ new iconic take on the younger Peter sees him riding a swan while accompanied by fairies under the moonlight. 

SIGNING
Charles also signs each copy on the colophon page.

BOOK SIZE AND DETAILS
The edition will be approximately 224 pages with a trim size of 170mm x 240mm (6.7" x 9.5") and will include head and tail bands and a ribbon marker.

Beautiful standard edition

I recently got the standard edition of Peter Pan and it's so beautiful. I can't believe it's just a standard edition.. what more the numbered and lettered. Great job conversation tree press.

Anything but standard

The pictures don't do it justice! I got the deluxe and when I saw the end papers (which are the cover for the standard) I knew I wanted the standard. Amazing value!

Another cracker from Conversation Tree Press!

Another lovely limited edition from Conversation Tree Press. I've lived with my Peter Pan Standard Edition for a couple of weeks now, and it really is a beauty. It's a real quality binding and design, completely appropriate to the text. This is my second CTP limited edition. They truly are beautiful books, and I'd say that what makes them distinctive is that unlike some limited edition publishers, CTP isn't about maximum fireworks, showing off how brilliant they are; they're about producing a book of real quality, very beautiful, a joy to read, and completely appropriate to the text. Already looking forward to my adding to my collection!

Stunning book

My first book from CTP and I am absolutely in awe. It is stunning. The quality of materials and craftsmanship is out of this world. It needs to be seen in person in order to appreciate it.

A Forever Neverland book

This is a beautiful edition with absolutely breathtaking features. It is a Forever Neverland simply because it is of heirloom quality. The Vess illustrations and the look on the shelf and, of course, the timeless story — this is something you will read many times. But do be careful as it deserves to be handed down to subsequent generations!

Outstanding

I received my absolutely gorgeous edition of Conversation Tree Press’s Peter Pan and could not be happier. Every choice made in the selection process from illustrations to paper, type font, binding materials and flip cast - all absolutely spot on!

High Standard

A defining work of fantasy is here given a production commensurate with its worth, including a generous amount of art by Charles Vess, who has seen the book and its worlds anew.
