Ildarwood Hardcovers Update
With "The Trials of Ildarwood: Fall of the Forsaken" launching on Friday (ebook and paperback), I'm excited to provide some updates on the standard and limited-print hardcover editions of this prequel and Book One.
Â
Prequel - Standard Hardcover, FIRST EDITION
ESTIMATED AVAILABILITY: Late January 2023 on Amazon & Online Stores
This edition of "The Trials of Ildarwood: Fall of the Forsaken" will be available to order within the next week on Amazon, and libraries/bookstores will be able to order it directly from IngramSpark. Special features include:
Black matte case-laminate hardcover with the title, sub-title, and author printed on the front and spine, and...
Paper dust jacket with "About the Author" on the front flap and a list of all elements / alignments on the back flap as a reference.
Â
Book One - Standard Hardcover, SECOND EDITION
ESTIMATED AVAILABILITY: Early February 2023 on Amazon & Online Stores
This REVISED edition of "The Trials of Ildarwood, Book One: Spectres of the Fall," is being updated to resolve a handful of minor typos in the book. The dust jacket is also being updated slightly. This one is taking longer to finish than the Prequel Hardcover, so expect an update on this within the next two weeks.
NOTE: I do not recommend purchasing the CURRENT, FIRST EDITION HARDCOVER of "Spectres of the Fall" at this time (and I'll be taking it out of Global Distribution as soon as I can) because of the design updates I'll be making to ensure better consistency with the Prequel. The current version has a boring gray case-laminate cover, no "About the Author" or list of elements / alignments.
It will include the following special features:
Black matte case-laminate hardcover with the title, sub-title, and author printed on the front and spine, and...
Paper dust jacket with "About the Author" on the front flap and a list of all elements / alignments on the back flap as a reference.
Â
SPECIAL EDITIONS - Prequel & Book One
ESTIMATED AVAILABILITY: Early February 2023 (via this site)
These are the ones everyone's excited about, and the ones collectors love!
These prints come from my favorite shop, 48HrBooks, and they include the following features:
Black cloth hardcover
Silk laminate dust jacket with "Diamond 3D" gloss over the text and featured tree
(PREQUEL ONLY) "About the Author" on the front flap and all elements / alignments listed on the back flap.
I have only 50 Book One first editions left from my original print (of 250), and there are ~100 Prequel first editions left from my original order (of 125).
Depending on demand for both, I may order 125 additional Prequel limited edition hardcovers, and I may order a limited print of additional Book One hardcovers featuring the dust jacket updates and Second Edition content.
I'm immensely excited about all of these, and I know you will be as well! So please keep checking back for updates.
