Just an early head’s up — we’ve just reached agreement with Pyr books to publish a signed limited edition of Joe Abercrombie’s so good it’s off the charts epic fantasy debut, The Blade Itself. We’ll be talking to Joe soon about an illustrator, and announce ordering details as soon as everything is in place.

While we’re talking about epic fantasy, we should mention that we’re down to the last 40 copies of Richard K. Morgan’s The Steel Remains, one of the most talked about and controversial fantasy novels of the past few years. This one turned out especially well, with a full color dust jacket, full color endsheets, and a frontice by Vincent Chong, as well as a truly stunning interior design, printed in two colors throughout. When Richard’s done with volume two, we’ll definitely attempt to pick up the rights to that volume.
