SubPress make very good, high quality books. Sometimes it's just quite nice to own a nicely made physical object for something you deeply enjoy.

- arglebargle123 4y agoI do most of my reading on a high end eink device these days and I still get excited when I can buy sub press epubs. Even their digital releases are great quality.
- NikolaNovak 4y agoRight, but at $250, can anybody provide any details of how good these high quality books are? I don't know if I came off antagonistic, but I'm actually coming from position of genuine curiosity; the webpage linked describes plot of the book (I love Mr. Banks to death and have gifted use of weapons to more than one person, so I'm interested in a good copy:), but it doesn't have a photo of the product, and doesn't tell me where my $250 go to - what is the binding? What is the paper? Is there special typeset? Are there some bespoke illustrations? What is, actually, good about it? (to other people's points, I'm sure Mr. McLeod is a fine writer and a splendid human being, and to some his signature on Iain M. Banks' book adds value, sentimental or otherwise; it does not to me but that's subjective:).
- iamacyborg 4y agoYeah the product page is quite lacking, normally subpress do a much better job of highlighting what makes one of their editions special
