Breathtakingly Slow Movement

Mon 18 Nov 2024 - Filed under: Not a Journal., Kelly Link, limited editions | Posted by: Gavin

I’ve just added the somewhat breathtaking pricing on our forthcoming 4-volume limited edition of Kelly’s The Book of Love. At the end of the page I’ve pasted in how to get notified.

The Book of Love was just included in Time’s 100 Books of the Year and Publishers Weekly’s Top 10 of 2024. I’d planned on getting the book out earlier but it should be out soon. Everything Small Beer (or if it’s for me to do, then Book Moon, too) is slow now as I just run out of energy all the time. Publishing this book has been both fun and challenging. I doubt we’d have published it if I were well as we’d be too busy with other title. But this way at least we published two books this year and for this, unlike a regular trade edition, my molassesesque movements mattered less.

(We also have a few unsigned/numbered copies of the limited edition of Magic for Beginners. These are not part of the original edition and will not be signed on shipping.)

The books will be priced at $1,000 (Character), $600 (Lettered), and $225 (Numbered). The prices will rise to $1,200 (Character), $700 (Lettered), and $250 (Numbered) on January 1, 2025.

We ship within the USA. Canadian friends recommend Shippsy.

We will open up orders in two steps. First: the Character and Limited Editions to a password protected page on this website. Second: the Numbered Edition on the Book Moon website.

The order of sending out information/access will be:
