Catch-22 is a remarkable book, with a stunning design. The wooden boards are of high quality, thick, and impeccably crafted. The laser engraving is exceptionally beautiful. The leather is also of excellent quality and complements the overall design perfectly.
The paper, print, and endpapers are, of course, of the usual high standard. Truly, a work of art. When everything is taken together, a true masterpiece has been created here.
I really like it.
There are, however, two minor drawbacks (Catches) that don’t affect my overall rating:
1. The book is quite thick, and for those with smaller hands, reading over extended periods might be challenging.
2. The book arrived safely, with only a minor dent in the tray case, but I’m not entirely convinced by the new packaging. The cardboard is quite thin, and I don’t have much faith in the brown packing paper for protection. The packaging of the Sherlock Edition was more to my taste.
