Empire of Storms & Tower of Dawn Tandem Rebind

A seamless tandem edition for the ultimate Throne of Glass reading experience.

Some stories are meant to be read side by side.

This handmade tandem rebind transforms Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn into two custom hardcover volumes, arranged in the widely used tandem reading order so you can move through both stories without juggling paperbacks, chapter guides or sticky notes.

Each volume is rebound by hand with coordinated covers, illustrated endpapers and collector-worthy finishing details inspired by the world of Throne of Glass.

This listing is for a made-to-order tandem rebind split across two hardcover volumes.

What is included

This tandem rebind includes two handmade hardcover volumes created from:

• Empire of Storms
• Tower of Dawn

The books are reorganised into tandem reading order and split across two bound volumes for a smoother reading experience.

Instead of switching back and forth between separate paperbacks, you can simply read Volume I, continue into Volume II and experience the parallel storylines as one flowing arc.

Each volume is transformed from existing paperback editions into a handmade hardcover.

Please note: this is a rebinding service, not a restoration service or construction of books from loose pages.

Begin your commission

When ordering, you will be asked to provide:

• Preferred cover colour
• Preferred vinyl finish
• Preferred overall aesthetic
• Favourite characters, symbols, patterns or scenes
• Details you would like included or avoided
• Endpaper preferences, where available
• Whether you would like the volumes to closely match an existing Throne of Glass set
• Inspiration images, where helpful

You do not need to arrive with a complete design in mind.

A colour palette, a favourite symbol or simply the feeling you want the finished tandem to carry is enough to begin.

A tandem edition designed for the shelf

Your tandem rebind will be designed as a pair of volumes that belong together.

The set may be unified through:

• Matching borders or framing
• Coordinated title placement
• Shared spine details
• Complementary cover symbols
• Matching cloth and vinyl finishes
• Illustrated endpapers inspired by characters, places or scenes
• A cohesive shelf design across both volumes, where suitable

The final direction will be shaped around your chosen materials and creative brief.

What each volume includes

Each tandem volume includes:

• A suitable paperback edition sourced by Art & Parcel
• Rearrangement into tandem reading order
• Spine preparation and reinforcement
• Construction of a new hardcover case
• Book cloth or faux leather-style covering, where available
• Illustrated endpapers
• Decorative headbands
• Custom front cover, spine and back cover artwork
• Foil or matte iron-on vinyl application
• Pressing and finishing
• Digital design proof before production

Because the tandem format requires the interiors to be reorganised, the finished text pages may have slight differences in appearance from a standard paperback edition.

Optional sprayed or stencilled edges

You may choose to add decorated page edges to your tandem rebind.

Available options include:

• Simple sprayed edges
• Stencilled sprayed edges
• Detailed or custom sprayed edges by quote

Sprayed edges are created by hand and may have slight variations between volumes. This is part of the handmade nature of the finished set.

The design process

Your commission includes:

1. Review of your submitted brief
2. Development of a coordinated design direction for both volumes
3. Digital proofs for your review
4. Up to two rounds of minor revisions
5. Preparation of the final cover artwork
6. Rebinding and finishing of each volume

Minor revisions may include adjustments to wording, placement, scale, colours or selected design details.

Requests for a completely new design direction after the first proof has been created may require an additional design fee.

Production will not begin until the final design direction has been approved.

A note on handmade books

Each Art & Parcel rebind is made by hand in a small home bindery.

Tiny variations may be present, including slight differences in alignment, cloth tension, corners, vinyl placement, endpaper trimming, page finish or sprayed edges.

These small details are part of the handmade nature of the piece and mean no two volumes will ever be exactly alike.

Your books will not look factory-made. They will look made, handled, transformed and finished one at a time.

Timeframe

This tandem rebind is made to order by hand in Australia.

Please allow approximately 4 to 6 weeks for completion before shipping.

Turnaround time may vary depending on material availability, design complexity and the current commission queue.

If your tandem rebind is intended for a gift or special date, please include this when ordering so Art & Parcel can confirm whether the timeframe is possible before work begins.

Please note

• Suitable paperback editions are sourced by Art & Parcel
• The tandem is split across two hardcover volumes
• The interiors are arranged for tandem reading and may differ slightly in appearance from standard paperbacks
• Every set is handmade, so small variations are part of the finished piece
• No cancellations are available once design or production has begun
• This is a custom handmade rebind service and is not official merchandise

When the tandem is complete

Two stories become one flowing reading experience.

No chapter guide. No flipping between books. No losing your place halfway through the chaos.

Just two handmade volumes, designed to sit together on the shelf and carry one of the most dramatic stretches of the series in a form worthy of the journey.
