Production details according to the publisher:
The Complete Short Stories is limited to 750 hand–numbered copies and presented in a special display box designed by independent studio La Boca. The bindings, endpapers, title pages, page edges – even the ribbon markers – are colour co-ordinated in a fabulous fluorescent rainbow. Each binding is emblazoned with an eye-catching symbol that is echoed on the relevant title page and spot-varnished on the two-part presentation box.
The interior of the box itself is lined with two specially designed papers; a multi-coloured ‘glitch’ pattern, and a night sky sparkling with silver stars to reflect Dick’s fascination with the possibilities of space travel and technology. Every aspect of this astonishing production has been designed with care, precision, and an appreciation of the ground-breaking nature of Dick’s work. With six full–colour illustrations in each volume, exhibiting the skills of 24 extraordinary artists, including luminaries such as the award-winning Dave McKean and international star Georgia Hill, this is the definitive illustrated edition of an essential collection of work.
