Speer!

Last week I got my copies of the German translation of Spear: Speer. They are gorgeous objects. The front cover has a wonderful trompe l’oeil 3-D effect; the end papers are a gorgeous autumnal berry colour; and each comes with its own beautiful bookmark ribbon. You can see that better in this photo:

I don’t read German, but given the fine attention to detail in the physical presentation, I have no doubt the translation, by Elena Helfrecht, is very good. (Any German readers out there who read it, please let me know what you think!)

There are now several editions of Spear—English, Spanish, French, Japanese, and German—and all are lovely. I feel very lucky.
