Deluxe editions
A dozen deluxe copies of the book will be available for $450 each.
The text of the book is the same as the standard edition.
The following elements are different (some details are subject to change):
The books will be bound by reknowned bookbinder Don Rash.
The book will be hand bound in black leather, foil stamped and the book will be contained in a slipcase.
Each book will contain a King George II silver sixpence (enlarged below) minted in 1758, the year he granted the charter which lead to the official formation of the city. Each of the coins is in fine or very fine condition.
The coin itself is about the size of a dime. King George is featured on the front and the date is at the top center of the back.
In addition to the book, each copy will come with several pieces of ephemera related to the project including magazine articles, newspaper ads and articles, the letterpress poster announcing the project and the citizen photos (shown below left), letterpressed position-in-line cards for the citizen photos (shown below right), flat endsheets used in the project, a scored but unfolded dustjacket, archival prints of two of the citizen photos, and other project ephemera we can collect.
