As with all Genesis limited editions, the production quality of this volume is extremely high. Printed on 232 pages of heavy-weight, 200gsm matt art paper, the photographs are reproduced in full-colour using fine screen lithography and full page varnishing. Stitched into the book is a gatefold photograph of Easy Company at full strength, taken just days before they embarked for Europe and D-Day.

The striking binding is inspired by the paratroopers’ uniform. Each copy:

• Is hand-bound by master craftsmen using leather and M1942 jumpsuit material.

• Features a sewn replica ‘Screaming Eagle’ patch inset on the cover. As sourced by the costume and set designers for Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, and Pearl Harbour among others.

• The title is blocked with gold lettering on the spine and every page is gilt-edged to protect the pages within.

• Is enclosed in a black cloth-covered slipcase, silk-screened with golden parachutists.

Reproduced exclusively to accompany every copy in the edition are two rare items:

• A facsimile reproduction of the 1942 ‘Jump into the fight!’ US Army recruitment leaflet.
• An unseen town plan of Hageunau, a map belonging to Major Richard Winters from January 1945, with hand-marked annotations outlining the positions and movements of his men along the Rhine river.
• Also included is an exclusive DVD film of the 2005 Easy Company reunion tour of Europe.
