Kind of cool (follow the link to see the video):
Riverhead Books (a Penguin imprint) designed two covers for Chang-rae Lee’s new novel, On Such a Full Sea. One was for the hardcover. The other is for a special limited edition of 200 copies with the slipcase created with a MakerBot 3D printer. This video reveals the process from both the publisher’s and the author’s perspective. I ordered a copy today and look forward to seeing it up close for my perspective.

Very cool. As a former bookseller I think, ‘Nightmare to shelve.’ But, on the other hand , they would all have to be face out so then it would get extra attention. Smart.
My initial thought was same as Nuala’s! But could be an interesting development going forward…
