About this Item

This stunning edition of Joseph Heller's satirical, anti-war, cult classic is published by the Croatian fine press, Amaranthine Books, in a limitation of only 200 signed and numbered copies, this being #109. This is a spectacular, letterpress-printed, limited edition of 'Catch 22' in mint condition as received directly from the publisher. The book is sealed in the publisher's shrink wrap. It comes with the 'swag' that was only available with books purchased directly from Amaranthine. It is signed by Damir Mazinjanin (illustrations), Marko Matijasevic (creative concept), and the whole production team. This stunningly unique edition of 'Catch 22' is hand-bound with a military-green goatskin leather spine, and plywood laser-engraved boards featuring tally marks designed to capture the essence of the title. The book comes in a tray case designed to look like a WWII weapon's crate and is bound in military-green book cloth with white foil blocked on the front and on the spine. The case is lined with beige plush, keeping the book well protected. There are 22 illustrations throughout the book, each depicting moments where Catch-22 situations were most prominent in the dialogue between the characters. All these illustrations feature at least one detail where the geometry and logic are broken, akin to the drawings of M.C. Escher. These challenging illustrations were meticulously made by Damir Mazinjanin. The book has been printed letterpress, including all the illustrations, on 100% cotton paper, and features marbled endpapers made to look like military camouflage. Included are a two-sided bookmark, featuring a bomb on one side and a plum tomato on the other, and a notebook. The first photo is of this copy but the others are stock images as the book is sealed in the publisher's shrink wrap. HEAVY/OVERSIZE. U.K. postage at default charge but overseas buyers will be asked for extra. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed-for, and insured.
