Hello Grim Oakers!
First, we hope this news finds you well. Still weird times...
On to the good news though. Due to overwhelming interest in slipcases for various projects, Jeff, Becky, and I are going to move forward with taking pre-orders for The Broken Empire and The Red Queen's War by Mark Lawrence as well as a slipcase pre-orders for Uprooted by Naomi Novik. We know a lot of you want this to happen. Well... now it is! Because we listen.
Here are the direct links to these slipcases:
As you can see, the Lawrence slipcases are a bit more expensive. This is due to the books being so absolutely massive, our slipcase maker recommended upping the price a bit to offset the additional materials needed. The materials will be the same ones we use on our other slipcases. So that should please many of you.
You have until the end of September to pre-order your slipcases. We will be ordering the slipcases on October 1st from our slipcase maker. Should ship early November (will now ship late December or early January due to backup at slipcase maker), I would imagine, if not sooner. Order early so you don't forget!
Share this with anyone you think would want these slipcases. And if you haven't purchased the books Uprooted or The Red Queen's War, order them with the slipcases to save on shipping (yes, we are still sold out of The Broken Empire omnibus, sorry!).
Back to work for me. Hope you are reading something great. I'm about to start the omega-read on The Illearth War by Stephen R. Donaldson to get that book to the printer! Yay!
