The first three years. From the Night, Dependent, Elsewhere Always — the images and the lyrics, side by side. A 9 × 12 inch perfect-bound photo book on heavy matte stock. The physical archive of the band's origin chapter, on the merch table for the spring 2027 tour.
The next chapter. Same trim, same paper, same spine treatment — so the two sit together on a shelf. Built when the material is ready, priced and modeled the same way below.
Volume 1 is the project. Volume 2 is the commitment to a series — announced now, built later. Sold at shows, direct online, and through independent bookshops. Prefer newsprint? The newspaper version of this project is still live: overpass-2026.pages.dev.
A $1,000 design fee per volume, plus printing billed per copy — Bookmobile's rate plus $0.62 handling. The per-copy rate drops as the run grows — the calculators below price it live.
You own every copy and keep 100% of sales. Freight from the printer is quoted to your delivery address and added at cost.
Move the run, the retail price and the sell-through. Everything recalculates.
Same format, same model. Modeled at today's printer rates — re-quoted when the material is ready.
We priced the same 9 × 12 inch perfect-bound book with three US printers. Bookmobile (Minneapolis) is the default: the lowest per-copy cost at every run we asked about, PUR binding, and lay-flat matte lamination on the cover.

Printer cost per copy. Your per-copy print price is Bookmobile's rate plus $0.62 handling. Bookmobile spec: 9 × 12 in, 52 pages, premium 4-color on 100# matte, 10 pt cover with matte lay-flat lamination, PUR perfect bind. 250 / 500 / 1,000 from Bookmobile's written quote (plus a one-time $36 printed proof); 75 from their calculator ($8.74/book + $49 prep); 50 and 60 from our August 2026 job at the same spec. Conquest needs 60+ pages for perfect binding. A longer book changes the price — we re-quote at the final page count.
