Hi Grim Oakers,
We have news. A lot of it. Today's news is but one part. But what a part!
Grim Oak Press will be publishing special editions of several Tad Williams books, beginning with his amazing debut fantasy novel Tailchaser's Song. It will be followed by The Dragonebone Chair. I announced this back in July, so not exactly news.
What is the news? I am sharing the full-color wrap-around cover art for Tailchaser's Song by magical artist Stephanie Law, as well as other details about our editions. Let's get to the latter first.
There will be two editions of Tailchaser's Song:
- Double-signed by Tad Williams and Stephanie Law
- Dust jacket: foiled & embossed
- Leather-bound: foiled boards
- 5 full-color interior plates
- Satin ribbon sewn into binding
- 60# high-quality paper used
- Slipcase available for pre-order
- Up to 1000 copies available for pre-order
- Double-signed by Tad Williams and Stephanie Law
- Dust jacket: N/A
- Leather-bound: foiled boards
- Hubbed spine
- Beautiful upgraded endpapers
- 5 full-color interior plates
- 1 full-color fold-out plate
- Satin ribbon sewn into binding
- 60# high-quality paper used
- Clamshell included
- 52 copies available for pre-order
Here is Stephanie Law's wrap-around cover art for Tailchaser's Song:
I really love the work that Stephanie has produced for the book. She has finished the interior plates as well and they are just as stunning as this cover art. She captures the magic of Fritti's world. That's what I was hoping for and I'm pleased that Tad and his wife Deb love it just as much as I do! I will spend my time these next two weeks deciding on a great cover design to best showcase the art.
Get ready for September 1st at 11AM PT! That's when you can pre-order your copy of Tailchaser's Song as well as gain first refusal rights for the matching number/letter of The Dragonbone Chair, which will go on pre-order early 2022.
With Magic,
