BIBLIOPHILE
Reading by candlelight, the Bibliophile is lost in the stacks, where each leaf reveals a pulpy expanse of possibility. Flames lick the frayed edges of his tunic and bookends come to life. With each chapter conquered, the stacks grow into walls, and the walls grow into a labyrinth from which there is no escape. In our most complex print yet, the edges of each book's pages are gilded with precision in multiple types of foil, requiring 21 passes through the press to complete the entire composition. Carefully sculpted details can be found throughout.
Bibliophile will be available for 24 hours starting at 8:00 AM PDT on Tuesday, July 20 and ending at 7:59 AM PDT on Wednesday, July 21. The edition is limited by the number of prints sold during those 24 hours and never reprinted.
Image size: 16-13/16″ wide × 21-1/16″ tall
Paper size: 20″ wide × 24-5/8″ tall
Prismatic foil details and sculptural enhancements
Intricately detailed and dimensional chop
Signed by James Jean and numbered
Release date: July 20, 2021
Price: $500

I like the image itself though it feels like it belongs on a small print that comes in the deluxe edition books.

Nothing new though. There's a new time limit edition every two months or so. He's been on that pace for more than a year.

I'm on the fence on this new one, but the BTS Prints and Pins sets were good value and turned out well. I didn't get destroyed on duties from Korea to Canada.
