Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781606600177.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA raison detre of Calla Editions is to make long-forgotten masterworks available to contemporary bibliophiles, and this book fulfills that aim like few others can. The Ship That Sailed to Mars has a legendary reputation, and the original edition is much sought after by an ardent cult of collectors. Its author, William Timlin, was an obscure South African architect who, in a singular burst of creativity, brought forth a magical intertwining of science fiction and fantasy, a kind of Burroughs meets Tolkien. With 48 pages of calligraphic text — in Timlins hand — and 48 color plates, it is a work of stunning design, illustration, calligraphy, and overall conception. The Calla Edition also features a new introduction by John Howe, one of the two chief conceptual designers for Peter Jacksons The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. The reappearance of this much-discussed title will be applauded by many fans of science fiction, fantasy, and book illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113110888501,"sku":"ByrdShop_1606600176","price":450.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781606600177_9dfaa1a9-5964-4777-8546-acbcc8f7211c.jpg?v=1776444828","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-ship-that-sailed-to-mars-calla-editions-9781606600177","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
