It’s an ideal that very much includes art. Berry to create, in close consultation with John Crowley, that ideal edition of Little, Big. Incunabula has brought together the production team of editor/art director Ron Drummond and typographer/producer John D. Yet its sensibility is late Victorian, whereas Crowley’s design conception for the book has always been art nouveau. The interior design of the first edition of Little, Big, published by Bantam Books in 1981 (and duplicated in the current HarperCollins edition), is certainly quite striking. And second, we want to create an edition that fans of the book will cherish, an edition that is a joy to behold and to read, an edition made to last several lifetimes. In publishing a deluxe, 25th Anniversary Edition of this masterpiece, our goal is twofold: First, we want to fulfill the author’s dream of how the book should be presented, by creating an edition that in every respect, from beauty of design to accuracy of text to excellence of manufacture, will reflect all the artistry, insight, imagination, and care that John Crowley poured into every sentence of Little, Big. John Crowley’s beloved novel Little, Big is without doubt among the greatest works of the imagination created during the last century.
