Spectacular production

Absolutely wonderful job by CTP for this production. The quality and development for a standard edition is equivalent to high end publications from other presses.

Beautiful work

Wonderfully printed and designed. Superb illustrations, but I'm biased. ;)

Beyond standard

Received my standard edition of Treasure Island. And of course there is nothing standard about it. I can feel the love that has gone into every aspect of it, and it automatically soared up among the top five most beautiful fine press books I now own. And there are many contenders for that spot in my library.

another winner

So far, I have seen all Conversation Tree Press editions published, and I was really looking forwards to receiving Treasure Island. Needless to say, when the Standard Edition arrived on my doorstep, and I opened the box - again I was floored by what I saw: Both the design and (quality of) the materials, plus the craftsmanship made this edition (Standard, really?? Could easily pass for a Deluxe) another instant CTP winner.
I for one cannot wait to see what will be next.
