Hey, all, there are several things I want to talk about, so I’m just going to attack them in order. (And if you work at Adobe, or know someone who does, make sure you read the last thing on my list.)
I doubt you need a reminder, but the launch of Warbreaker is only about a week away! Barnes and Noble has kindly decided to put it into one of their big summer promotions, and has ordered a LOT of copies. This is fantastic, since—if you’ve been reading the blog for a few years—you know that we’ve consistently had troubles with distribution at Barnes and Noble. Well, they’ve thrown themselves behind this book a great deal. Finally. So, of course, my natural panic rises that now we won’t sell any copies, will prove them right for not supporting the Mistborn books to the extent we wanted, and go back to the old model of never having enough copies out. (Sigh. Sorry, it’s hard to not worry about these things.)
Anyway, if you want a numbered/personalized edition, I’m happy to comply—so long as supplies last. But know that if you want to buy the book at your local B&N, Borders, or independent bookseller, I’m going to be touring a great deal over the next two years—so the chances are good I’ll be able to get that copy of yours signed.
There WILL be audio editions; I suspect they’ll be out a few weeks after the hardcover. There WILL be an official ebook edition to buy, if you want one—and in order to sweeten that deal, we’re probably going to be selling the ebook directly through Tor.com with ALL of the annotations included months, even years, before I get them posted on my website. There should be a special deal of some sort for those who bought the hardcover to get the ebook (with annotations) for a fraction of the regular price, but I’m not sure what it will be. You might have to order both through Tor.com, or maybe there will be a rebate. So if you’re thinking of getting both editions to grab the annotations and bonus content, then save your receipt on the hardcover just in case. No promises, but maybe there will be something Tor does to promote.
The edition in stores does have new scenes that aren’t in the edition posted to my website. I will eventually post the pdf to my website of the final edition, though I’m not sure when I’ll do that, as I don’t want to undercut all of the special effort Tor.com has put into coming up with really nice ebook edition with bonus content. We’ll see.
