The "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas" (TTLUTS) limited edition hardcover book promises to be one of the most highly anticipated products ever from Tannis Props!
The design and features of the book remains a closely-guarded secret but we can tell you a few small details based on an early pre-production prototype we saw. The cover is tentatively planned to be a beautiful ocean green hue with lovely natural variations to the hide. Unlike the Grail Diary edition, the TTLUTS book will not be artificially aged to look worn, but Tannis did explained to us they want the book to have the look of a well-loved and treasured family heirloom, and this specially created leather suits that requirement perfectly. It has the appearance of natural age and handling by delicate hands.
We also have some insights about the editions themselves, and believe there will be two versions of this book that may be sold simultaneously or perhaps offered at different times. One version will be the Special Edition and will be entirely hand-made with lots of beautiful handiwork by multiple craftspeople, but there is also a Supreme Edition that will be made in very low numbers, that will feature illuminations and artwork that has been hand-painted, gold leafed Chapter headers, a unique ornate front cover, and maybe a small separate item such as a replica of the Tannis designed "Nautilus" submarine.
We are forbidden from showing any images of the new book yet, but do have this sneak peek at the cover leather to tide you over for now.
