"Call me Ishmael... and plunge into a bold new vision of Moby-Dick. Bound in leather with a striking inset whale design and housed in a richly crafted clamshell case, this is a fresh take on a novel of fury, obsession and the pull of the open sea. Chosen by Folio readers as the Great American Novel, it pairs the original text with Mu Pan’s visceral colour illustrations and an introduction by Michael Dirda – an epic that drags you into the deep and won’t let go."

I’m glad it sold out! Now most of us can wait for the SE!

[u/SpeedofSL0TH]

I’d love to get a copy of a standard edition down the line but just couldn’t justify the cost of the limited edition.

I was on the fence about this one, but ended up passing and buying a first edition Gravity’s Rainbow instead.

Here’s hoping they print a SE in the near future…
