The Sienese Shredder is proud to announce the launch of a special, limited edition slipcase to house all four volumes of our annual arts journal! Now you can keep your Shredder set nicely archived and displayed on the shelf next to your Proust box set. Designed by featured cover artist Don Joint and printed in a quantity of 250, each handsome case is signed by the editors—Brice Brown, Mark Shortliffe, and Trevor Winkfield—as well as by Don Joint.

This launch will also mark the permanent hiatus of our four-year journey tracking down some of the most unique, creative, important and all-around fascinating works from the worlds of art, design, literature, poetry, music and culture.
