Special Editions to Put on Your Wish List
Sometimes I wonder if I love reading or collecting book trophies more. Why not both? There’s nothing quite like collecting my favorite books, especially when they come in such gorgeous packages! The thing with special editions is that they often only run for a limited time, so I’ve started pre-ordering the limited run special editions I desperately need. So if you’re a book design admirer like me, here are some special editions you should preorder—and what makes them all so special!
The Wicked King

If you haven’t read the Folk of the Air series, I kindly ask: WHAT ARE YOU DOING. The Wicked King is the sequel to The Cruel Prince (which also got the royal Collector’s Edition treatment) and is just as full of the Faerie magic and treachery Holly Black is known for. This deluxe edition includes:
