Warbreaker Leatherbound Preorders

Adam here. I know many of you have been waiting for the day we start talking about the special Tenth-Anniversary Leatherbound Edition of Warbreaker. Well, today is that day! On top of that, I’m going to tell you how you can get your hands on one of these beautiful books (skip to the bottom if this is the information you’re looking for). As has (unfortunately) become the norm, printing and binding delays have severely impacted our initial timeline for reception of these books. So much so that we still don’t have a fully bound copy, but we were able to get our hands on an unbound copy and wanted to show you a few pictures to let you know what you can expect.

We’ve shown a few sneak peeks of the end-pages on Brandon’s social media, and Dan Dos Santos has fully revealed them on his channels, but these are just a few of the many pieces we’re super excited about. They are absolutely stunning. But you don’t need to take my word for it.

One thing we’re doing for the Warbreaker leatherbound, is adding drop caps to all the chapter headings. This little feature is just one of the many ways this edition is the highest quality book we’ve ever produced and we’re excited to see how you respond.

As with previous leatherbound editions, we’re adding some of our favorite covers from around the globe. The left cover is from our illustrious UK artist Sam Green. The right is from the Chinese cover of by the incredibly talented Jian Guo.

Damage prevention & numbering
One thing we’re doing a little differently this year is how we are handling the books. Meaning we want to handle them as litte as possible. The books aren’t fragile, per se, but the more they’re handled the higher the likelihood that something can happen. So in that spirit, we decided to take the route of Brandon pre-signing and numbering all the books before binding. That way we can ship each book shrink-wrapped and individually boxed so that you can get as perfect condition a book as possible. This means we can’t control what numbers you get or offer personalizations, but we feel that offering you the highest possible condition of the books was worth the sacrifice. We hope you feel the same.

How to get your copy

We’re hopeful that this will be shipped in time for Christmas, but we can’t guarantee it. But if you’re wanting to get it preordered, we have partnered with several independent bookshops who would love to help you get your copy. (Some stores already have preorder links on their site open, if not, keep your eye out for when their site is updated.)

Brandon’s art director Isaac here. My ten-year old daughter—nicknamed “W”—has been reading Skyward in preparation for the release of Starsight on November 26th. She’s read plenty of books before, but this is the first time I’ve seen her dive into something this hefty. Of course, I’m terribly proud of her for reading a book that’s over 500 pages.
