About this Item
These hand-printed broadsheets were made in celebration of the wedding of Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer. The poem was written by Neil Gaiman about the night before their wedding. 50 unique folios only (of which this is one) contain two versions of the same broadsheet: a proof copy and the final edition that were printed in a limited edition of 250. The typefaces used are Granjon, Dyer, Willow and You Murderer. The embossing was done from polymer plates that were mounted type high and then squeezed through the press by hand. The paper is acid free 250 gm archival Rising Stonehenge. The wood engravings are incised on end grain maple and were made by George A. Walker who also designed and hand-printed the whole project. Beautifully bound in folding faux leather covers with blindstamping. In a matching slipcase also stamped in blind. Each broadsheet is signed by Gaiman and the artist, Walker. All in nearly new condition but for a few minor scuffs to the slipcase. ; Folio 13" - 23" tall; Signed by Author & Illustrator. Seller Inventory # 12141

If your book is a small novel size, we may be able to fit it in a priority envelope with packing which would cost $6.00.

Postage for oversized and/or heavy books over 2.2 lbs. may have an additional charge and will be quoted when the order is received. Insurance, if desired, is extra.

Another option shown as STANDARD on the order form is for First Class Mail International which is also airmail and takes slightly longer to arrive, but is less expensive than priority airmail.
