"The Pepsi-Cola Addict" by June-Alison Gibbons

Both the SPECIAL and STANDARD editions are hardbacks, with foil-blocking on the front and back boards, and the spine. A full-colour dust-jacket, designed by June-Alison Gibbons and Ania Goszczyńska, finally realises the cover-design June-Alison had originally wanted for the book. The top, side, and bottom edges of the pages have been colour-dyed. The book also has coloured head- and tail-bands, and a coloured book-ribbon. Coloured endpapers—with different designs for the front endpapers and the back endpapers—reproduce drawings of the book’s two main characters, Preston and Peggy, drawn by the author. 

• A bookplate, signed and numbered by June-Alison
• A two-sided postcard reproducing the first edition’s front-cover artwork, and a  facsimile holograph note—about the book’s original cover—by June-Alison on the reverse of the postcard.
• A folded full-Risograph-colour poster of the author.
• A folded one-sided sheet reproducing a typed love poem by June-Alison intended to be added to, but then deleted from, the first edition of her novel.
• A screenprinted two-sided tote-bag, made from FairTrade organic cotton, featuring on one side the author’s photo from the book’s first edition and, on the other side, the title and author’s name    as used on the first edition.
• A card label tied with waxed string to the tote-bag with a drawing by June-Alison of a packet of cigarettes on one side, with each label individually signed by her on the back.
• A one-sided cassetteº, in a double-sided fold-out sleeve reproducing a mix-tape-design drawn by June-Alison, featuring a 14-minute long track with June-Alison reading excerpts from THE PEPSI-COLA ADDICT over music created by Current 93 with her especially for this track.
• A red-and-white-striped candy bag, with a reproduction of a drawing by June-Alison of the book’s hero, Preston. This drawing differs from the one on the STANDARD edition’s candy-bag.
