book day! time traveler's son now available.
I'm very excited to announce the publication and release of The Time Traveler's Son, published by Erzebet Yellowboy's (erzebet) Papaveria Press. This is part of her Miniatures in Print line (although I'm not sure if she's still calling it that): short fiction or poetry handbound into a tiny limited-edition books. Among previous offerings in this line were The Room by Veronica Schanoes, Ghosts of Gunkanjima by Catherynne M. Valente, and Sonnets for Orpheus by Hal Duncan. They are both literature and art artefact in one.
Here's more info on The Time Traveler's Son:
Here is the story of a boy become man, whose father understood time.
Limited edition of 12 numbered copies.
$40.00 plus $5.00 shipping to the US and UK.
This handbound book of 32 pages measures approximately 2.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches high. Printed on archival, satin paper, library bound with a hard spine and gold endpapers. Clockworks and coffee-stained Chinese newspaper decorate the cloth cover. Because of the nature of these books, no two are identical. The covers are three dimensional and have tiny yet sharp protrusions, so mind your fingers!
I'm over the moon with how the book came out. It was a long process, but I'm glad that both Erz and I didn't try to rush to get it out prematurely (though I was eager in anticipating its release). She's done a phenomenal job putting it together (especially with the clock gears and springs), and I can't wait to see it for myself; my author copy will be waiting in my PO box when I get back to Singapore.
Due to the unique nature of this publication, and that fact that there are (and only will be) 12 copies in existence, they may go quickly. As of this writing, only five are left. So if you'd like to order one yourself, best do it soon!
