Whenever a package shows up at the front door, whoever grabs usually yells “Santa!” Any day it is a book that shows up is a good day. From the first book I owned as a child, I’ve always loved getting books. It doesn’t matter what the book is: it could be something for my business, a reference, or something to read. But it is especially joyous when the box has a fine or private presses name or logo on it. So I thought I’d do quick posts whenever that happens even if it might be a while for that book to show up in a review, if ever. In this case, it’s “Booka Claus!” not “Santa Claus!”
Today it was Parable of the Sower that I got to unbox. Thornwillow boxes are quite fun because they always have some ephemera with the book: usually a calendar for the upcoming months, a couple of quotes or ornaments on cardstock, and some booklets highlighting the book and the press’ gratitude for the purchase.
I’ve done a good amount of Thornwillow lately, so this one won ‘t be showing up reveiwed anytime soon but I hope you enjoy the teaser photos.
The book is still available from the press as of this writing.
For some reason, Thornwillow refuse to post very informative photographs of their editions on their website, so this post is quite valuable to help figure out what this book is actually like. Thanks!
