My current understanding is that Baen will do at least the first 5 books in leather, signed, limited editions. I believe the number per edition (I did say it was "limited," didn't I?) is set at 1,000 copies. One of the limiters on the total numbers is the smashed up nature of my right wrist, which is getting worse as I get older and the arthritis gets its teeth further into all those broken-up-and-patched-together bone fragments, plates, screws, and bits of wire. I think Baen would like to do the entire series of novels this way, but I don't know what the logistics on that would be and I [I]do/I] know that nor hard and fast decision has been made.

Hope that helps.



May you right wrist last for a long time and may your hop of releasing all your books this way come true too.

I have a lovely colloection and hope to see it grow more over the coming years.

Cheers

Thanks for the info rfc. I hope to get my copy of the leatherbopund OBS later this year, (family getting it for me from England), as unfortunately for me, normal shipping would have cost more than the book and signing fee combined, but I hope to be able to get the leatherbound HOTQ and the rest too. :)

What i would like to know is how to get a copy of this. i ordered on both on Chapters and Amazon. Neither was able to get one for me, though Amazon kept promising delivery any day now for near a month.

I have tried searching for "used" copies to no avial. I was able to get both OBS & ASVW in the leatherbound quite easily.

I've been looking for a copy too. My biggest hope is a fellow forumite has a spare copy I can buy off them.

Thank God I ordered my copies of all three books months in advance. ^^;

1000 copies doesn't sound like a big number if there's people from all over the world trying to get them...

So I have three books which are one out of a thousand each? Very cool. :D
