With Sherlock short story collection we made a switch to letterpress and introduced three states for our editions. In early 2023 we have adjusted the print run in order to maintain quality of each edition, since we’re printing all three letterpress.
Lettered Edition: 26 copies;
Numbered Edition: 200 copies (previously 260);
Library Edition: 400 copies (previously 520).
Only the lettered and numbered edition carry designations and have matching rights. The library edition is unmarked and does not hold matching rights.
Once we have established that we are ready for larger print runs, we might increase them for titles that are deemed more popular. Should you end up purchasing the number above the usual print run (i.e. #255), you will be able to match it on the next title with increased print run. If you would like to get a lower number for the next title, you will be able to participate in private preorders after the initial three days and before the book goes up for public preorders. Should you be interested in that, you need to contact us via email.
Besides the main print run, there will also be several publisher’s copies made specifically for the key participants, depending on the project. These books will never go to sale.
