idk, i'm so used to being poor so the FOMO has almost no hold on me >:D i do have 2 special edition book, but in fairness: i got them second hand for under $10 lol It was more that i wanted the sequel to a book i loved, but i hated the cover for it, so a cheap special edition with a prettier cover was the reason heh heh But if we're counting ones that it's the standard paperback, but signed... i have more than 2. Most were gifts. One of then i bought second hand and found out that my cheap purchase happened to be a signed copy. So that was nice ^_^ i did have a moment of FOMO remorse for not pre-ordering Five Broken Blades, because it sounded interesting and the sprayed edge is really pretty. But so many people are saying it's boring and the delux editions are being resold for a bit cheaper. So maybe my dilly-dallying is winning out 🤣 This was a fun video 💟 keep going!
I'm from New Zealand, and I kid you not when I say I have only seen one stencilled edged book in person my whole life! We usually only get the block coloured ones, and even then they are hard to find. And those companies/subscription services whose edges I ogle at online never ship to me! And same thing with signed books - practically no one comes down here to sign anything. I am so jealous of your book collection with all those beautiful edges... sigh, one day...
Not sure will this help but is there any parcel forwarding service to New Zealand? At least the cost would be cheaper and you might find some you’re interested over in EU/US/UK!

I know the joy when you buy used books and they are signed!
