Wonder if they do mid series cover changes just to make people rebuy the first few books and increase their sales for us perfectionists.
They definitely do
I think it’s to try and “rebrand” a series to better attract attention to it, since it’s usually for lesser known works. Though I don’t necessarily disagree that what you mentioned might be a possibility 😮😮😮
Hate it. When they do it I gave up on the series entirely
Oooooh those uk Stormlight editions are awesome
I think so too! And so chonky 😆
Perdido Street Station is the first book of the Bas-Lag series, and each book is its own standalone story but there are threads tying each together. My favourite is the second book in the series, The Scar.
Also, can I just add that for being as stunning as they are, The Broken Binding is really NOT cost prohibitive? Well. Not in the SE genre, anyway. I’ve seen books for thousands! Not saying that $50 is cheap, just not that they’re taking advantage of readers, IMO. Full hardback regular books are about $30, and most of TBB special editions are 25-30 pounds. Yes, shipping to America adds some, but overall, I end up paying somewhere around $50 for them. That’s not bad! A beautiful, signed special edition, plus international tracked shipping for $50. Love them, they have my business forever!
Yay I totally agree about Owlcrate's version of Ruthless Vows! I think they feel higher quality than Fairyloot's, too!
I've got an alarm set for Broken Binding's midnight editions of the Dandelion Dynasty. Absolutely GORGEOUS.
Thank you for explaining the Furysong issue, I was so confused when I got that thin paperback.
I kept asking you through the screen to show the books closer to the camera and for longer 😂 they’re so pretty!! I hope to get special editions like that someday
Stunning special editions! Thank you for sharing ❤ Now I know where to look for gorgeous editions of fave books.
Owlcrate Adult books have been really good! I don’t think the special editions are as pretty as some of the other boxes but the selections are top notch and most of them are signed!
Ohh, I’ll have to see which books they’ve been doing for the adult selections-that’s good to know 😄
Ohhh, I thought Owlcrate only did YA Books
@@strawberrylime33they started an adult book only box a little while back. Can’t remember exactly when but it’s relatively new
So amazing! The more I look at various special editions and learn about those who make them, the more I fear for my wallet. But seriously, can't wait to start building a collection... and hopefully one day, creating my own special editions! I knew about Broken Binding, but hadn't yet heard of OwlCrate and Illumicrate, so thanks for talking about all the sources of these beautiful books!
Great book haul!
Sprayed edges just bring me so much joy
OMG! I love special editions so much they are absolutely so gorgeous 💐💙🌼🌼🌼🩵💐🌻🪷🪷💘🌈🌈🧡💛💛🌸💓💓📚📚📙📚📚📙📖📖🌈💕💘💘🌷🫶🏻🫶🏻💙🪷🌻💘🌻🪷🌈🌈🌈❤️🌹💜💘💙🩵🌼🩵💙💐🌷❤️❤️
They did a mid-series cover change for The Warden by Ford and I have the first hardback which im cranky about.
Elliot, you should Perdido Street Station right now. It is so weird and strange.
I just bought a beautiful sprayed edges hardback edition of Sunbringer by Hannah Kaner, and I wanted to get the sprayed edge version of Godkiller to match but I can only find the standard hardback. I settled for that, so at least I have them both but if they ever release a set for the trilogy (when the third book is released) I might have to buy it. The cover art is SO beautiful for both books so far.
I’ve been really impressed with Broken Binding, I’ve seen a lot of people showing them off lately. I just signed up for their waitlist for both science fiction and fantasy.
So many pretty books! I don't have any subscriptions, but I've bought a few general sale special editions and Broken Binding has definitely impressed! I'm waiting for Illumicrate to do a special edition of Abhorsen to complete the trilogy 🤞
I’ve been trying to manifest a special edition of The Aurelian Cycle. 😂 It needs to happen!
For Emily Henry’s books you are spot on as far as I believe. I am in Canada and we are in the same boat. I’ve been waiting for the paper back as well because same as you I want them all to match so I am happy to see it’s finally out in paperback.
Ooooohhhhhh I always wondered how you had a hardback of Fire Born in the background. That makes sense now lol.
Elliot, have you seen the new Carrie by Stephen King edition from Blackwell? It looks amazing. Troy Tradup did a video showing it off, and it is reasonably priced. I'm going to need to go to their website to pick one up. Happy reading.
I just had the opposite experience buying the Tor hardback box set from the US to the UK lol. Paid a kings ransom but i had to have the Michael Whelan covers
Oh man, I’m so sorry! I imagine shipping was really expensive 😮
I love love love Litjoy. I even got a membership for that. And up untill now, i have all the limited editions i want to have. So i am very proud of that haha
This makes me want to join a book subscription again
I can't find Flamefall in hard cover anywhere in Europe :-( That's such a pain, I have the first book with a dragon, the second one as a paperback, and the third one in a new hard cover style
ooooh I love the Owlcrate Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows so much! but I couldn’t find them for less than like $300! how did you find them??? 💕💌
One I used Pango bucks for (basically “store credit” on the Pango app) and for the second, to make sure I didn’t have to buy it second hand for an increased price, I got an owlcrate subscription for a couple of months. I was curious to try out their regular subscription anyway, so it was a win win :)
I've never had a book subscription service so this may be a dumb question but, do they tell you the names of the artists that create all these beautiful book covers and edges?
Owlcrates quality is really superior to some of the other boxes. Owlcrate has head and tail bands with ribbon book marks a lot of the time as well. In particular I have found fairyloots quality really poor recently. Books feel cheap and poorly glued together.
I think all these different boxes are definitely giving each other incentive to really do their best, and to try and stand out. Completely agree about Owlcrate’s quality, at least from the books I’ve gotten 📚
Sorry to bother everyone but I'm trying to find a book. I'm pretty sure Elliot spoke about it either earlier this year or last year but it involved a young hero/chosen one but he wasn't very good and an older lady was the mentor/reluctant teacher (I think she was super skilled herself). I'd very much appreciate any help 🥺❤
I haven't read it so sorry if I'm wrong but sounds like The Art of Prophecy by Wesley Chu
hey i ordered a book from here and im not sure how to track it, could you help me by any chance
Can the Dark Star Burning still be purchased? I want!
I don’t think you can from Illumicrate directly unfortunately, but maybe some are being sold second hand (although I wouldn’t be surprised if the price was marked way up 😕)
@@ebnovels I always miss the good stuff! 😩
Is Elliot reading the Familiar right now?
Not just yet, but soon!
I love Emily Henry and her books and very colorful and wonderful stories and I love the characters 🩵📖📚📚💕💕💕🩵🌼🩵📚🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🌈💐🌷🌷❤️💘💜💜❣️🌻🧡💘❤️🌷🌈💐💐📖📚💕💕📚🌼🌼🩵📚🫶🏻📙💜💜❣️💛🌹❣️🌻🌸🧡💘💓💓🌈💐💙
Not gonna lie, i am so jelly of the time you have to read so much. I understand that it's what you do for your channel, too, but im sure even if you didn't have your channel, you would be an avid reader. My perfect, IDEAL life would be to read and write and create in a tiny, secluded town every day.
Oh man, that sounds perfect! Hopefully that’ll be your future ☺️
Sorry but the UK stormlight archive editions are pretty bad 🫤 and no one can convince me otherwise
