Clamshell Cases

Bill,
You have more patience than I do. I do not normally get into the house before things are opened. To wait three days for this, FLs book and Carol's book would not happen in the Roberts house.

Best,
Bill

Give Peace A Chance

Crazy, I know. But part of the deal I made at the island ranch.

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS; HORSEBUCKET, IT CATCHES (CLAM SHELL), FOGEL, DAAAAAANNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Thanks: Padre, Carol, Bill, Jason)

Thursday is gonna rock and roll. (poetry; art overload.)

One of the greatest "collection" days of my life.

Happy everything to all.

My religion is: give peace a chance.

Pax,

It's a great Christmas gift you're getting! It's an awesome looking clamshell with that cork paper. I'm so glad I bought one!

A couple of reminder shots of how great the At Terror St... clamshell looks:



Just brilliant, Bill. But I will say that the It Catches... is more stunning; but I may not own a copy of that for a long while.

PSP;
Thanks! Yeah, I'm especially proud of "It Catches". Nothing like corkskin....

It's beautiful! I like the way it has the title on the clamshell cover. It almost looks like the book itself!
Too bad I don't own the book...

 

[ROC]

Ha!

Matching typo's.

What fun.


Thanks Bill. It's a perfect fit.

 

[roni]

cool!

 

[Bukfan]

Very cool! Great idea...:D

 

[bospress.net]

oh shit! I spelled it wrong! What is the chance that the two people that have the 1/17 SREET versions would have gotten these?

ha!

Best,
Bill

 

[Hosh]

Awesome!

 

[Purple Stickpin]

I'll probably do one for the Sparrow book set next along with Fire Station, unless anyone has a hot request...

Any action on those Bill?

 

[bospress.net]

soon. I'm just so damned backed up....

You folks will be the first to know about it.

Bill

 

[Purple Stickpin]

I'm just so damned backed up....

And here I just figured you were very busy. :eek:

 

[bospress.net]

I'll take a laxative and get working on these!

Bill

Here's a link to the clamshell I made, with a lot of help from Mr. Roberts of Hosho McCreesh's book "Marching Unabashed Into The Weeping Searing Sun".
I made this while visiting during the inauguration. It's very sweet.

Here

Thanks Bill

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Strangegirl: How about making a few more?

I have both a wraps and hardcover of Hosho's epic. If you'd make a few, I'd certainly pay you for it. That's quite (really freaking) nice.

 

[Bukfan]

It's beautiful! Nice choice of colors, Strangegirl...

 

[strangegirl]

Thanks guys, Greatly appreciated.
I'm still very much learning my craft and this was the 1st clamshell I have ever made and with much much guidance from Bill.
I will eventually make more but I still need practice and I won't have Bill guiding me. Well except in spirit of course. He's a really good teacher.

Yeah the colors are nice and the book looks very happy inside it.

So thank you again.

:)

Fire Station Clamshell now available:

$55 in the US, $60 outside the US.

Payment to paypal ID bill@bospress.net, or a check is fine. If you order this, please let me know if this is for the hardback or the paperback. Also, it is a good idea to confirm the dimensions as they may change from 1st and 2nd printings. These will take me a little more than a week to complete.

The clamshell is covered in red (with gold and black veins) Indian made 100% cotton paper.

Thanks,
Bill

p.s. Stay tuned for a clamshell to house the full run of Bukowski SPARROWS.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Oh Bill, that is freaking lovely. I'll take one for sure. I'll have to check the measurements of my 2nd edition in wraps, and I'll send that along. Right now I need to work a few things out regarding my paypal account, so it may take a couple of days.

Sparrow Clamshell

Hi,
Here it is, for anyone interested.

This is covered with imported Japanese bookcloth on the outside and domestic on the inside with red acid free cards on the inside.

The price is $55 in the US and $60 outside the US. Postpaid, of course. As before it will take me about a week to 10 days to fill any orders.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi,
The photos show up here. Maybe my website had a burp... Can you hold down the CTRL and then refresh the page? Anyone else that cannot see them?
