My custom hardcover edition of Across a Thousand Dead Worlds #atdw is finished! 🎉
Created the case earlier today, then glued in the textblock. While that was in the press I fetched the vinyl cutter and created a basic cover and spine print, using the same fonts that are also used in the book.
It's not fully square, and trying to back it yesterday also caused some steps in the rounding, but I'm still very happy with the result! 😊
Will probably still add a dust jacket, but for now it's done!

Phew, that was a lot of work, and some things didn't work out the way I wanted them, but I guess that's to be expected with the first try on a rounded case book.
Cut the front edge (chisel ftw), rounded it (it felt weird to take a hammer to it, ngl), cut head and tail, then tried my best at backing it into a shoulder (not happy with that result tbh), then added a little book band matching the pink colour found on the official cover, black head bands and started building up the final spine.
