nicocoberru she/her Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 It's print as needed right? Does that mean that if, hypothetically speaking, it took me five years to save enough money I can still order it?
CosmereCaching Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 My husband surprised me with my copy today and it wasn't the leather bound! But I loved the surprise from the Author. Three pages after the postscript. Starts "Hoid the beggar sat on the side of a mountain,... have you read that?
WeiryWriter he/him Posted October 7, 2015 Author Posted October 7, 2015 My husband surprised me with my copy today and it wasn't the leather bound! But I loved the surprise from the Author. Three pages after the postscript. Starts "Hoid the beggar sat on the side of a mountain,... have you read that? Yeah the leatherbound won't be on sale until November. And I have read the scene and it's great but reactions should go here.
Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Just got an update on this for those who are interested! Copies come to us next week, so maybe like the end of next week! 3
WeiryWriter he/him Posted November 14, 2015 Author Posted November 14, 2015 Just got an update on this for those who are interested! Just merged this into the existing thread, there really didn't need to be another one.
Haelbarde he/him Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 As I'm sure others have already noticed, we got an update via twitter (link). They should be posting about them on Monday, and then hope to open sales at the end of the week/1 December.
Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Update on the Blog - they will do a full post with pictures next week, but it is in the store now (mostly for international folks, but if you're US and SURE you want a copy there is nothing from stopping that order going in!
Marns she/her Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I'm very sad because I've been doing numbers with a friend and is SO expensive the shippings are 30-196$ plus the extra taxes of customs duty
The Honey Badger he/him Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Ugh Brandon, I can't just drop 100+ $ on a book. But … I want to so much, It's so beautiful.
Titan Arum Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Since I'm planning on asking an Elantris-related question in the "Personalization" field on my purchase of the leather bound version, I'll ask my non-book specific question here: Is there a character limit in the "Personalization" field? The question I want to ask currently has 78 characters with spaces. I ask because my question is shown cut short to 50 characters in the "Personalization" field on the check out page. Is this only because the space is limited for the the check out page specifically, or are we actually limited to just 50 characters and Brandon won't see my entire question?

If you're uncertain about whether your entire question goes through, you can try deleting a few earlier lines to check. The text should run back, and where it cuts off tells you where exactly your question stopped.

There is a character limit. I don't know what it is though.
The Sovereign Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I finally just bit the bullet and bought my leatherbound copy... ouch! On the positive side, I asked a rather juicy Cosmere question in my personalization. I suspect if I asked in person I would get a RAFO but it is a borderline one so I am hoping for the best. Even if I don't get an answer I would just be entertained to have a big RAFO on the inside of my book.
Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Character limit is 90 (when I ordered my last item) so you really need to be concise with questions!
Argent he/him Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Character limit is 90 (when I ordered my last item) so you really need to be concise with questions! I believe it's longer now.

Argent he/him Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 It's sold out New batch in January, apparently still going to be numbered, but I should've preordered mine when they were first announced...
Kestrel she/her Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Oh my, I need this still. I'm broke as heck tho. Question: can we pre-order it again and still get it when it comes in, or will we have to wait until the new batch is printed and shipped?
Blaze1616 he/him Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Mine came in the mail yesterday. It's very pretty. The book has a theme of blue and silver, with the text in the book being dual colored black and blue, the cover being a dark blue leather with silver lettering, and the gilding on the pages being silver along with the book-mark ribbon. The picture on the front-inside of the cover (first French cover), featured in Brandon's blog post, has the matching illustration on the back-inside cover (second French cover). The selected cover gallery includes the ones shown in Brandon's post (UK and Bulgaria), as well as the US edition, both Japanese editions, and the Taiwanese edition. Dat Taiwanese Edition. It's so pretty, my jaw dropped. I've looked through the cover galleries on his site, but somehow I've never lain eyes on Shin Li's masterpiece before, never noticed the amazing juxtaposition. *shivers* Anyways, if some of you are on the fence about whether you want to buy it or not I can answer questions you have about the book itself.
Mestiv he/him Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Blaze, I don't have questions, I want pictures What do you mean by "text in the book being dual colored black and blue"?
Blaze1616 he/him Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 That's from Brandon's site. The Chapter titles, first letter of each chapter, and the page headings, are all blue, while the body text is black. There's also this two-color map: As for pictures, I can find you images of the covers, as well as Michael Whelan's art online, and if you'd like I'll snap a few pictures of the book while closed, but I don't want to post pictures of any of Brandon's actual writing. Between spoilers and potential copyright issues, it's just not worth it. Brandon did write a short explanation of why that Whelan piece matters to Elantris and his writing as a whole (about three paragraphs), which he's also done on the internet in various locations. Other than that though it's just the 10th Anniversary Edition's content aside from the cover gallery.
Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Mine came in the mail yesterday as well, I also love the Taiwan cover. I've often been a bigger fan of his UK covers over the US though too. it is a gorgeous edition and I'm looking forward to having each 10th anniversary edition some day!!
Zas678 he/him Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I'm currently the only (I think) person in the running to get a free copy from BYU Bookstore! Whoo-hoo!
Titan Arum Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) I received my copy...some time while I was traveling for work. It's a gorgous book, and if you're on the fence about whether or not to buy it, I highly recommend that you do! I decided to ask Brandon a question about Wyrn's sword, Gretgor: "If Gretgor, (1st Wyrn's sword) exists, who has it now?". Here's Brandon's response: At least I got my first RAFO card! I had originally wanted to ask if Gretgor was real and if there was something special about the sword. Then I assumed that would get RAFO'd. I thought that maybe a better question was to ask about who has the sword, because that too would confirm it's existence but not tell us anything special about the sword. Thus I assumed it would be less RAFO-able. Guess I was wrong! I sure hope Gretgor is real though. Why else would it even be mentioned in the glossary for Elantris? It's the only place it is ever mentioned, so maybe it'll have a role in Elantris 2 or 3? (Side note: I love the symmetrical number! It also is the same as an area code I used to live in.)
