Scaling the Walls of Troy - Part Three.

This concludes the story of the design, printing and publishing of the Chester River Press edition of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. We just received our advance copy of the set and we are very pleased indeed. Two folio volumes, in slipcase, black cloth binding with gold foil design and spine titles, top edge gilt, ribbon markers, text in Greek and English, and over fifty full-page, tipped-in original art pieces in the Greek vase styles. The art is stunning, and these modern books have the look and feel of classic folios.
