Clean thick matte with a gloss undercoat (see some of Arrows earlier releases like Time Bandits) can be really nice when done well.
I think it's a good choice with the vivid foil title.
It's easily screwed up though as we see time and time again.

I'm sure the whole order is like that, a lot of booklets, so they're either going to reprint them, or redo the slips – whichever is cheaper.
These are sold out, I wish they'd sell the misshapen sets, I'd buy either the slip, or the booklet separately!

I'd assume it'll be a booklet reprint, as the slip would be too wide for the steel to sit flush then. Look like nice hardback books, though. Shame for an entire print run to go to waste.

Received my Steelbook this morning. This was my first ever order with ESC and I have to say it came very well packaged. It was in a large box with lots of brown paper cushioning on both top and bottom and the Steelbook was then inside a HMV style cardboard mailer. The finish is a very nice streak free Matt and the title has a metallic shine to it. I ordered the Steel only edition as I do already have the Arrow limited edition but loved the artwork on this and the Arrow didn't end up with The Sleeper Awakens documentary, so I wanted that as well.

Received my copy!
The back of the J-card was a nice touch, brilliant release by ESC!

 

[Billy Talent]

Hardcover book filled with images from the making of David Lynch’s Dune, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune remake, and all other Dune adaptations.
The colors may look a bit dull in the photo (my camera doesn’t capture them well), but it's much more vibrant in person

Nope not included unfortunately

Er hem.... sorry but artwork on the back of the FS does not do justice to Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner... Looks more Stink than Sting...
