The endpapers are Italian-made Art Nouveau decorative papers from Rossi, also used for the boards of the Standard State. The text block is made of thick, luxurious Magnani Pescia Edition 160gsm (110#) paper. Inspired by the Deluxe state of the first edition of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, illustrated by Arthur Rackham, Charles’ new iconic take on the younger Peter sees him riding a swan while accompanied by fairies under the moonlight. The front board is foil stamped in copper with an illustration, title lettering and the names of the author and artist. The spine has five raised bands and a maroon label with gold tooling above and below. The Deluxe state is hand bound by Ludlow Bookbinders in a sumptuous, deep green goatskin leather. Individually from #1 to #200, the Deluxe State is limited to 200 copies for sale and there is a limit of one per household. A portion of proceeds from the purchase of every copy goes to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, helping the Hospital to deliver life-changing care to patients and discover new treatments and cures. Price in USD. A few copies with rights are still available.
