To commemorate the official release of THE BINTI TRILOGY, we here at Black Nerd Problems are happy to share exclusive interior artwork featured in this illustrative edition of Nnedi Okorafor’s groundbreaking space opera that centres a young Himba woman on her travels in outer space as she leaves planet Earth to attend a prestigious intergalactic university.
The Folio Society, an independent publisher of beautifully illustrated hardback books, has published the first ever illustrated edition of THE BINTI TRILOGY, created in collaboration with fine artist David Palumbo. This highly illustrated edition filled with vivid paintings of galaxies, spaceships, and alien species will collect all three acclaimed novellas in the Binti series, as well as a short story by Okorafor and is now available.
The lavishly illustrated 360-page omnibus edition of THE BINTI TRILOGY includes seven full-page color artworks in a palette of rich blues, purples, and reds—featuring a cast of characters including our heroine Binti, the jellyfish-like Meduse, and the living spaceship Third Fish—as well as black and white illustrated part-title pages and dark blue metallic endpapers. The cloth-bound cover features an illustration of heroine Binti surrounded by a jellyfish-like alien species, with silver foil blocking for added dimension, while the slipcase is decorated with nebulas, planets, and stars printed on a metallic paper for a shimmering finish.
