The endpapers, the paper quality, the letterpress, the illustrations, the size, all this make a superb book but what makes it unique is the absolutely awesome and original wood covers together with the leather spine. When you touch, when you feel it in your hands, you are transported to that world of mariners and piracy of long ago. A toast of rum (0.0) to CTP!
The most original and unique exterior design I've ever seen. Together with the illustrations, the letterpress, the size of the book and the bookends, make an impressive edition which plunges you into the story simply by holding the book in your hands.
beautiful book as always from CTP
This is, without a doubt, the most exquisite and robust book I have ever received. Its hardwood cover, designed to resemble a sailboat's deck, is, in my opinion, the most creative hardcover design I have ever seen. The pen-drawn illustrations vividly capture the essence of the story, bringing the plot to life. Together, these elements stand out as superior, even among the most innovative books from other esteemed publishers.
As is typical of books of this sort, the photos don't fully give the production the credit it deserves. Such was the case when I opened up the box and unveiled Treasure Island. All of the design elements from the oak boards and leather spine to the exquisite illustrations, expansive blocking and the texture of the letterpress text contribute to making this a very special book.
Simply one of the most impressive books I own. Just go and buy whatever you can get your hands on from Conversation Tree Press, you won’t regret it.
These just keep being absolutely spectacular editions. Sad I missed out on Solaris, but still very eager to see what Tony comes up with next. Really just gorgeous work.
I love it. It's a heavy, rugged book and it's sure to last generations. I have a printing background and love letterpress books. You can feel the letters on the paper. Great job CTP.
Beautiful workmanship and my prize possession
The quality of the materials used to produce this edition is superb and the craftsmanship used in its construction is remarkable. In addition, the layout, illustrations and typography suit the subject matter amazingly well and make this book a pleasure to read. In my estimation, it is well worth the price and I am very happy with my purchase.
Treasure Island deluxe edition is a work of art. Heavy oak boards and quarter leather binding with raised bands. What more could you want? Okay. How about the most beautiful endpapers I’ve seen and illustrations on most of the pages? Conversation Tree Press should be very proud of this one.
This book…this book right here is an incredible experience. Artwork, typography, binding, everything is an absolute amazing experience. What’s more, the team at Conversation Tree Press are extremely responsive, transparent, and committed to the customer. I’ll buy ever since book of theirs as long as I can.
An absolutely beautiful production of one of my all time favorite novels. Thank-you Tony.
Really spectacular production!
This book is gorgeous! The end papers, the paper quality, the art, the case, everything is made with the highest quality and detail ❤️
Another five-star shout-out for another amazing Conversation Tree Press edition. So very proud to have been able to add this superb book to my growing collection. Thank you, CTP, for a job so very well done.
