[Dragaera] Limited editions (was RE: Hawk is on Pre-order at Amazon)

[Arin Komins]

Oh, there are many truly beautiful limited editions of books out there.

I collect Tim Powers, and he's had some truly lovely limiteds over the years.

I imagine when Steve has put Dragaera to bed, then perhaps some lovely limited omnibus editions might make sense.

Thanks,

Arin

There are specialty printers who will do that. I'm a big fan of Subterranean Press who do these gorgeous editions of books:
https://subterraneanpress.com/store/product_detail/temeraire_his_majestys_dragon

"The Subterranean Press limited editions will feature a full-color dustjacket by original Temeraire illustrator Dominic Harman, plus four full color illustrations (in the limited edition), with a fifth illustration exclusive to the lettered edition. In addition, our volumes will be printed in two colors throughout on 80# Finch paper to bring the novels a level of class and grace they so richly deserve."
