Huge thanks to AD Sheri Gee, editor Rob Davies & everyone over at Folio Society. What an incredibly talented and hard-working team. Also massive thanks to the hoards of people who contacted us about doing this book over the past year; keeping quiet about it was so difficult.
I only wish he’d written more books for this series so we could keep the party going…
In mid December of 2019 I was approached via an email to see if I was interested in a job that hadn’t been approved yet, was in the early stages of being pitched, and probably wouldn’t happen. I got my hopes entirely up and agreed. On the 8th of January (my birthday), I found out that the job was indeed going ahead, and what a bloody gift that was. It’s been incredibly difficult to keep my mouth shut and not show anyone what I was doing for the first third of this mad year, but now it’s finally real.
Enormous thanks to Art Director, Sheri Gee (and for the beautiful typography); everyone working with Sheri at Folio Society; the licensing team; Steve Brusatte for being my palaeontologist consultant; Heather for being ignored / bored by my quotes and “fun facts” for months, and anyone else involved in the process of creating this. This. This beautiful, this official, this illustrated republishing of the 1990 Michael Crichton novel, Jurassic Park. Complete with textured slipcase and soft-touch laminated cover with a textured spot varnish.
The Folio Society, WC1R. Near Holborn, on Eagle Street the FS Bookshop plays host to a fantastic amalgam of beautifully crafted editions of the best literature. The shop has access to everything in print the Society publishes plus a good range of those now out of print, frequently at a bargain price too. Pretty well ideal hunting ground for any of us looking to pick up a collectors item of the future. Here the tangible experience of reading is king and all your favourite titles got invited to the party. Each has been lovingly upgraded, rendered into a wonderful artefact. It’s extremely hard to get out without picking up a slew for presents as well as a few treats for your own shelves. A must visit for all classics and literature fans. http://www.foliosociety.com/
The Final Problem.Illustration and (spoilers!) the final page.
Of their terrible chief few details came out during the proceedings, and if I have now been compelled to make a clear statement of his career, it is due to those injudicious champions who have endeavoured to clear his memory by attacks upon him whom I shall ever regard as the best and wisest man whom I have ever known.
