The Hanging Stranger by Philip K. Dick, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. First published in 1953, this is one of Philip K. Dick's most unsettling short stories. Ed Loyce comes up from his basement to find a man hanging from a lamppost in the town square, and no one else seems to care. As he tries to raise the alarm, his ordinary small town starts to look very wrong, in a sharp early study of paranoia and invasion.
About this leather-bound edition
Each copy is bound by hand in genuine leather over sturdy boards, with decorative tooling and gold-tone foil lettering on the spine. Natural variation in grain, shade and foil impression is part of the character of every handmade book, so no two copies are exactly alike.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
