For anyone who has not caught wind of this yet.
Lyra's books will be publishing and binding a limited, fine press edition of Neil Gaimans' 'Stardust'
I cannot even begin to describe how absolutley gorgeous this production is going to be. I suggest everyone head to the website check it out, sign up and get ready to order the minute it goes up. Richard Tong will be updating the site to inform everyone when they will go up for sale.
This publication will be strictly limited to 626 copies and will split into 3 separate editions – 500 cloth bound, 100 leather bound, and 26 lettered copies.
Here is the link and good luck to everyone.

I have tried to do this at a time that is the most convenient for as many people around the world as possible. Inevitably I can’t cater for everyone, but I think this gives the most people the best chance.
I had hoped that the pre-order would be this coming weekend but some technical issues around moving the domain means the website isn’t quite ready yet and I want to give everyone more than a few days notice. The new website will be up and running in the next couple of days and we will continue to add bits and pieces to it.
When the new website is live, you will be able to view the new Stardust page and browse the different editions in the store. Here you will find final prices and shipping costs. When this information is available, I will begin to contact everyone who already reserved a copy to confirm orders and to take payments. It will take me a few days to get through the list (it is only me doing this) so please wait for me to message you otherwise I’ll just get overwhelmed with emails! And check your spam folder just in case!
For everyone else, please wait until the 25th. There are copies of each edition available so I hope everyone manages to get what they want.
