The Sci-Fi Book Thread

I still don't remember if we had a thread for Murderbot, the TV Show thread exists but doesn't seem like this belongs there.

Finally got around to making a frame for my print of Compulsory, the Murderbot short story printed by Subterranean Press. Had no idea frames were so expensive. Local place wanted over $400 to frame it which was astounding. Worked with American Frame and they were extremely helpful. I ordered 10 samples of different frame colors / types and mat boards to see what worked well, they only charge shipping for samples. Then the lady spent like 30 minutes on the phone walking me through measurements for the mat boards and offsets and how to order it all correctly.

Parts came in today and just finished putting it together and it is so cool! I'm just really excited about how it turned out. Parts were $175 for everything but I saved $200 on the labor. I know for sure that the mat boards were the same thing the local place was going to use b/c I saw the product names when he was helping me.

Everything should be archival / museum quality to not damage the print, and the acrylic is 90% UV blocking. No idea how to take a good picture let alone of a frame. It looks so much cooler in person. The metal red frame looks great with the red in the print and the depth of the board makes it look nicer. Looks very flat in photo.
