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.
