The Notify Me button doesn't seem to work
Same here:
The notify button just takes you back to the same webpage, also don't see a list of countries they are shipping to or cost...

I see they couldn’t resist including pointless art cards. Sigh.
also "Now, for the first time since its publication in 1992, it has been revised and expanded with new paintings and illustrations". Really, the first time?

Finding it hard to get excited about this since I feel like I already own these books, just with a slightly different binding, no box, and no signature.
Sort of reminds me of comparing the deluxe CoH and Sigurd & Gudrun to their limited edition counterparts.

The SD CoH and S&G were far more than the regular deluxe with a signature and a box. That’s all these appear to be.

Agreed SD CoH/S&G are completely different builds and design from the non limited deluxe volumes, which were made to match the whole deluxe line which ran for many years. Not a great example.
These books are essentially the same ones produced last year in design and build(for the most part) with a limitation page added and housed differently in a horizontal box instead of a slipcase.

The only meaningful improvement I can see for the books themselves is getting rid of the blue plastic-coated spines. Full cloth will likely last better, given these poly-vinyl/poly-urethane materials tend to dry out and peel once all the volatiles have off-gassed. This new edition might take longer to fall to bits! Hilarious that a (once upon a time) bog-standard cloth binding is being fed to us as "deluxe".

Totally agree with this.
I'm wondering if the paper described to be used in the limited version (Munken Lynx paper) is the same than the regular deluxe? (This would actually be the only thing that could really make a difference between the 2).
