December 16th, 2006 by Alan Chudnow
Random House is offering a limited edition of Christopher Paolini’s Eldest, the second book in the Inheritance series. The book features a full-color foldout poster by award-winning artist John Jude Palencar, an excerpt of the history of Alagaësia, art by the author, including an image of Brom’s elf ring, a complete and comprehensive list of people, places and things as well as a “sneak peek” at Book 3.
The movie adaptation of the first book, Eragon†, opened yesterday.
Subterranean Press is featuring limited and lettered editions of Kage Baker’s new Company short novel, Rude Mechanicals, due in April 2007. 26 lettered and signed copies, housed in a custom traycase will be offered in addition to the 1500 signed hardcovers.
- The Eos Books Blog has an excellent post on Fun With Alternate Universes. exploring alternate universes has been an SF standard quite some time, acquiring seminal books on the subject would make an excellent theme for a collection. Eros Books is the SF/F imprint of Harper-Collins Publishers.
- In the first new Internet Review of Science Fiction for some time, Cynthia Ward reports on a burgeoning new sub-genre – Paranormal Romance. Strange bedfellows? Not as much as you may think.
- Noted: Bibliophile Bullpen was kind enough to mention my two part post on Grading and Condition. Highly recommend, the Bullpen is always worth a daily read. Thanks Joyce!
