A Letter from John Crowley

To All —
Every author dreams that his work will be afforded all the care in editing, design, and production that he would give it himself, if he could. That (usually futile) dream was fulfilled for me when Incunabula published a collection of my stories called Antiquities, a marvellous (and now quite valuable) volume. So I’m delighted that publisher Ron Drummond and designer John Berry have joined up again in a new project on my behalf — a splendid new edition of Little, Big on its 25th anniversary. The project has my full and enthusiastic support, and I will be working with them on every aspect of the publication. What a treat! I hope you will think so too.

It's one of the greatest novels of the 20th Century. It exists at the intersection of Literature and the Fantastic. The beautiful long-awaited 25th Anniversary edition of Little, Big is coming out for the 40th Anniversary. The publishing event of the decade is happening.— Neil Gaiman, 15 September 2021

Tax-deductible Donations
Publication of the 40th anniversary edition of Little, Big is effectively a charity project. The bulk of this edition pre-sold 10-20 years ago, often with free shipping. With the unplanned and unprecedented length of the project, production costs greatly increased by the time printing began in 2021, compounded by the fact that this edition is longer and more lavishly illustrated than what was initially advertised to subscribers. A finished 800+ page book is very large and weighs 2.6 kilos (nearly 6 lbs), the Numbered & Lettered editions nearly 3.5 kilos (7.5 lbs). Postage rates have soared in the past decade, especially for shipping outside the U.S. Safe packaging for such a bulky volume is another expense not accounted for in early pre-sales. Therefore, we are requesting tax-deductible donations to help defray these increased costs. This is only a request, directed to those of you who are able and inclined to assist. Donations currently help defray the high cost of safely distributing these massive tomes and increase the likelihood that those virtuous individuals presently laboring to get everyone their books may eventually be reciprocated for their time and heroic effort.
Tax-deductible donations can be made online through Deep Vellum's donation page. Please follow these instructions to assure the donation is directed to the Little, Big project:
Go to- https://secure.givelively.org/donate/deep-vellum-publishing. Enter your donation amount and select "One Time." Then you must make sure to select "Dedicate This Gift", and then write in Little Big where it says "Dedicatee's Name." Then click "Save" and "Continue" to make your donation payment.
Tax-deductible donations by check or money order can be made out to Deep Vellum; be sure the payment memo says "Little, Big donation" and mail it to: Will Evans, Deep Vellum, 3000 Commerce Street, Dallas, Texas 75226
Thank you for your incredible patience and enthusiastic support for this long awaited edition!
