Superb quality production. Very quick delivery safely packed.

You need to have this hefty tome in your hands to fully appreciate just how gorgeous it is! Marko and his team have again worked wonders with the design, and the letterpress illustrations are outstanding.

Excellent edition! Outstanding attention to detail, love also the letterpress printed illustrations.

It’s absolutely massive! The materials are top notch, tying in the book with the production of the book (picture's, boards, etc…) It doesn’t get any better than this! The pictures are even letterpress. The vision and final product are outstanding!

Amaranthine Books batted 1000 again. This book is amazing as with all of their products. The cotton paper is...over the top luxurious for a book and just feels right. I can't be more happy with the Mission Edition.

Beautiful production including the wood on the cover (Mission Edition) The letterpress is great and I really love the illustrations, I wasn't sure that I would. Beware though, this is one massive book!

The book is MASSIVE. Every detail is perfection, from the case, the felt interior, the book itself, as with all Amaranthine books, is a work of art.

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.

Wonderful production that does justice to the story. Love the three-piece binding with wooden boards!

Catch-22 - Mission Edition

This is my first edition from Amaranthine and it won't be my last...in fact it already isn't!

Starting from the outside and working in, the slipcase is sturdy and nicely bound in paper and cloth with clean, crisp printing of the title and author details. The book itself is reassuringly solid and with a fair amount of heft but a comfortable size for reading. The binding matches the slipcase in paper and cloth and is very well done.

Inside, a very nice quality paper and excellent - to my eyes - letterpress printing. The illustrations are quite unique. Some may prefer more traditional scenes but I'm a big fan of the approach taken, especially for a short story collection.

All in all a very nice edition indeed. What Amaranthine has achieved at this price point is remarkable.

I haven't read the book yet, but what I can already say is that the quality of the materials and printing are really good, and the illustrations are excellent. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I have been eyeing this title for quite some time, but hesitating as €200 is quite a bit for a book. However, once you get the actual book, you fully understand the price. It is just truly stunning. The price is more than fair, in particular when you compare to other fine print vendors.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience. Every page you turn you are reminded of the attention to detail and incredible quality of the materials used to create this work of art, and particularly at this price point.

This is my first Amaranthine book and I am so impressed. The overall design is wonderful, the paper is thick, and the letterpress printing is really nice. The illustrations are incredible - such a unique style and interesting concept. The sturdy slipcase, extremely fast international shipping, and perfectly protective yet not wasteful packaging are certainly worth mentioning too.
