Mark Ryden

Yehrin Tong worked with Fallon recently on a book design project for a limited edition book cover of "A Suitable Boy" by Vikram Seth for Orion Books.


Faith Shannon
This designer has a very different approach to the term 'limited edition'. The textures of the book gives them a completely unique feel. This is the collection she made for the 'Stone' a limited edition book of the poems by George Mackay Brown.




Limited Edition Tsumori Chisato Kawaii Book Set
This is a limited editon version of the Tsumori Chisato Kawaii Book, it comes with a polka dot canvas bag, a tee and of course the book.


Home furnishing retailer Habitat recently released an amazing limited edition book of 4000 pieces, entitled 50by70. The large book features 20 removable art prints. There is a consistant style of artwork running through this whole promotion. The contemporary design will attract a younger audience to but this.


Rod Hunt
I found this limited edition book on the Behance Network by a new designer called Rod Hunt. The book cover and title is fun and quirky.From this design he created i limited edition poster and wallet. I think the inside of the walled works really well with a repeated pattern.




What i have learnt about the limited edition sets:
1. Limited edition means to do something special to make them different from other books. The stocks and process you use will help get this feel.
2. Producing things which can only be brought with the book makes books a bit more than a book and therefore becomes a collectible item.
