The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, Arion Press SF

Check out the exquisite new publication of  The Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, with an introduction by Merlin Holland, Wilde’s grandson, at Presidio-based fine press book publisher Arion Press. Artist Sandow Birk will talk about his illustrations, which put a very modern-day twist into these 130-year-old tales. The deluxe edition, with decorative initials, foil stamped in 22k gold is sold out, so you can save that $2,200. The 225-copy $800 standard edition has decorative initials printed in green ink. It is machine-sewn; bound with an olive green cloth spine and paper sides imprinted with titling and a foil stamped butterfly; and housed in a slipcase.
