We've mentioned this in a few other threads as well, but I've received my copies now. I have been a huge fan of Norloth's artwork for a long time now (featuring her artwork in the Beyond Bree calendar many times). I am so happy that a publisher decided to do a fully illustrated edition with her artwork. It is fantastic! I made a short (90 second) unboxing video to show some of the features of this set.




There are two versions of this book with the same ISBN (978-7-5726-1492-7) and packaging - one has sprayed art on the page block and features a small sticker on the box to identify it, but is otherwise identical.

These come very well packed in a cardboard box and with foam inserts (HarperCollins, nudge nudge), and each book includes four removable art prints and a paper wrap with more information.

The binding is sewn and the pages are glossy with very good colors for the artwork.

I have a few spare copies of the standard ($30 shipped) and special ($40 shipped) versions if anyone in the USA would like to get them from me instead of the somewhat complicated process to get them from China direct. Send me a PM here if you are interested.
