Here we go -- this poster is one specifically designed to tie in with the Vandermeer's triple book release event on Thursday night at WFC.

This is very well done. I like the small touches, like the partial erasing of the letters in Grand Safari.

They're all from a fontset called "Wild West Print Shop" from WaldenFonts.com.

Taken from real-life (worn) wooden and tin type faces that were used in the US in the mid-19th century

John Coulthart used some of them in the flyer he did for Jeff VanderMeer, and Ann got the name of the set for me so we could duplicate the look and feel.
