Five HardCovers

I made a video of the five new special edition hardcovers of the Champions of St. Euphemia. Have a look!

I think they’re really pretty.

There will be one small change to them at this point. I think the covers are a bit dark in real life, so I sent a set to the designer to have her look at them. She agrees and has lightened them a little bit, so they’ll print brighter and more jewel-toned. It’s one of those variations between how the image appears on screen and how it appears in print, and is the result of paper being a bit absorbent. The ink spreads a bit into the paper, which makes the printed result look darker. This is called dot gain and it’s another reason why it’s a good plan to order proofs in advance.

If you look at the video for the trade paperbacks, you may notice how vivid the colours are on the duplexed illustrations of the couples on the insides of the cover. The paper used for the covers is coated on that side, so it’s less absorbent – so the image is brighter.

You can order these books through my Kickstarter campaign now, or pre-order them in my online store for delivery next year. They won’t be available in stores.
