Numbers that belong to pages, not to a seating plan of product tiers
Prices below are starting points in pounds sterling. A family edition quote still depends on likeness count, page length, and whether the mill must mix a difficult hide for Ben. Nothing here is a checkout. To hold a slot, send a brief.
| Work | Starting point | What moves the figure |
|---|---|---|
| Commissioned family edition (8 pages) | From £4,800 | Extra likenesses, house interiors that need measuring, additional print sheets |
| Family edition (12 or 22 pages) | Quoted after thumbnails | Lettering density, extra revision beyond the included passes |
| Numbered drop edition (token + sheet) | £180–£260 per numbered pair | Issue length and paper choice announced with each drop |
| Splash or cover | From £1,450 | More than four faces; wraparound; metallic ink on the colophon |
| Reading-room visit (60 min) | £40 | Deducted from a commission booked within six weeks |
| Reading-room visit (90 min, with script) | £65 | Same deduction rule |
| Extra archival sheet | From £90 | Size and whether the mill is already mixing that hold |
Deposits and timing
A thirty percent deposit holds a commission slot once we accept the brief. The remainder is due when you sign the print proof. Drops are paid when we confirm your number; we do not take payment for a number that does not exist yet.
What we will not quote as a bundle
We will not wrap a commission, two drops, and a visit into a named package that pretends to be a membership. If you want several things, we list them as several lines on one letter.
