We are delighted to announce our next project: a fine press edition of Patrick O’Brian’s novel Master and Commander. O’Brian’s work is filled with humanity, wit and erudition. Its exploration of friendship, social history, and colliding and changing worlds makes it a masterpiece.
We have spent months working with the Patrick O’Brian Literary Estate, the U.S. and Commonwealth publishers of O’Brian’s work, the National Museum of the Royal Navy, and artists and artisans from across the globe to plan a remarkable new edition that will feature…
A new design and layout letterpress printed in two colors on fine European laid paper
13 new illustrations by maritime artist Carlos Kirovsky
A hand-crafted binding using the finest artisanal materials
… and on our Lettered Edition, covers made from wood salvaged from HMS Victory, Admiral Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar.
On Sunday, we will be giving you, our Substack subscribers, exclusive pre-launch access to the Kickstarter page where you can learn about every detail of our new book. The Kickstarter campaign will begin on Tuesday, March 7 with substantial discounts for “early bird” supporters.
