The New York Stories - "An exquisitely done high-priced handmade books created specifically for professional collectors and hardcore fans. The New York Stories is a  compendium of two smaller ebook story collections by Ben Tanzer, Repetition Patterns from 2008 and So Different Now from 2011, entitled The New York Stories since all the pieces are set in the same small upstate New York town, similar to the one where Tanzer actually grew up.

This 5" x5" book features a full Colophon, signature/provenance page, and 30 illustrations by Chicago artist Laura Szumowski (six in full color and inserted via special vellum sheets), the whole thing held together with faux-suede covers and external Coptic stitching."

The author will even join you for a cup of coffee to discuss the books or come speak at your book club.
