A closer look at the Limited Edition

Here’s a closer look at the Limited Edition of Lifting Shadows, the first copies of which arrived at Essential Works yesterday. The handsome burgundy cover is decorated with shimmering gold blocking and – since the cover’s made of real leather – it even smells great. Inside, get a load of the metallic gold endpapers signed by Rich Wilson, the red and gold head and tail bands, and the handy ribbon bookmark (the text is some 40% longer than the original Box Set Edition, so it’ll probably take more than one sitting).

The finished book really does live up to the promise of a highly collectible piece of Dream Theater memorabilia. We hope you like it. As before, if your browser isn’t showing any photos below, head on over to flickr to see them there instead.
