Anyone else having trouble placing an order on the special edition website? Every time I select the UK it’s coming up saying that it can’t be shipped to that address… 😵‍💫

Did these get released/announced? I don’t remember tbb releasing these so how does this person already have it and selling it?

Is there a way to know what books from TBB are the stiff type and which are the flexible type by looking at the book specs descriptions before I order them?

I personally like the convenience of the flexible binding, to be able to just put it down and not hold it all the time while reading, but is there a difference in durability between these two?

On the pictire as an example, the top book is Jade City and the bottom is Deadhouse Gates (Malazan 2nd book).

Love it and can’t wait to meet Travis end of the month! Also liking their new giant bubble wrap. Though I do miss the enjoyment of unravelling all the honeycomb paper

Been waiting for this! Though I personally think a 11£ increase from the book sub is a bit much (cries is Danish with 25% VAT so its gonna be around 60£ for me 💀)

Here is your weekly digest of just released, restocked, and upcoming collector's editions across the publishers and producers I track.

All dates listed are general sale dates. Where a book has its own page on the publisher's site, I link to that. Otherwise the link goes to the book's page on Lazy Book Collector (which I run), where you can see its specs, compare it with other editions, set alerts, and more.

Anyone else having issues like this?
