The original 1979 edition of The Neverending Story was printed in two inks (red and green) depending if the action was set in the real word or in Fantastica. I wonder if more books use this technique?
- fluidcruft 6y agoThere's a black and red edition of The Princess Bride.
- colomon 6y agoYes, the first edition of The Princess Bride had red text for Goldman's "editorial" comments. I don't know if there have been editions since which maintained that convention?
- AndrewStephens 6y agoIt is a pity that later, cheaper editions of The Neverending Story were printed in black ink only. I read the original (well, original English translation) and it really added to the story. Incidentally, for anyone out there that hasn't read The Neverending Story, I recommend it. The book is very different to the film and starts messing with the reader about halfway in.
