I haven't gone down the polerouter rabbit hole yet (chasing too many others) but I ordred the book to add to my library. Maybe a new obsession begins? Limited edition.

That's the spirit!

Very nearly sold out of the 150 numbered Limited Edition over the first weekend of the pre-order.

Thanks so much for everyone's support.

Thanks everyone! I won't pretend it's not been a hard slog at times and so it's really exciting to be nearing the end and rewarding to receive lots of support for our project.

Perhaps once we've finished, I'll reflect on the process here and share some of the lessons learned if people would be interested.

Our printers, who are based over in west Wales, have been fantastic and I've certainly learned a lot about printing and binding. Some photos below of our paper having arrived from the mill and the final 'wet proof' test print.

Would be great to hear some of the “behind the scenes” stories and insights from the creation of this book. Super-excited to receive my copy!

An uncut sheet! That would be a poster I’d buy. Looking good.

It's actually a 'wet-proof' which is where we were able to test colours using the paper and printer that will be used for the final product. We were able to create a B1 sized PDF and fill it with images with a range of different colours that we wanted to test.

The actual printing should start within a week or two.
