I see a lot of people here complaining about the quality of special editions... Is this normal? For a book that costs as much is it costs, you shouldn't be binding, or so not even after one year

Except for Huron Blackheart having a loose hinge it’s only the more recent Siege of Terra books that I’ve had issues with. Not sure why exactly, but it could be because the books are huge and the printer’s not taking that into account when binding them.

I want to get the Siege rebound in real leather later because I like the idea of making the books feel more like historical artifacts. They certainly aren’t in need of rebinding from a quality perspective at the moment. 
That said I don’t disagree on the quality leaving a little to be desired, but I collect them out of love and it makes me happy even if they’re imperfect.

I agree, the bigger novels have problems with their binding. My LE of Mortis has that problem rather prominent, so I keep care not to fully open it.

Yeah a few of mine have had that issue, very annoying. I’ve gotten them repaired, but Echoes especially will probably need to be rebound. If I ever hit the lottery I’m having them all redone in leather.

Not just BL, but most of my collection. I largely moved to ebooks years ago, bar LEs. Space is increasingly an issue.
 

The only reissue is the Realm of Chaos: Lost and the Damned, all others are originals.

That a very, very impressive collection!

 

Also I see XX by Ryan Hughes, I like. That book was such a thrill to read and the ending was just spectacular. And one of the biggest reasons for me to start scribling my own ideas down.

Going to need a bigger shelf…

[Tolmeus]

My edition of 'The End and the Death Vol. 1' was finally delivered yesterday. Happy to share now my collection too.

Question: Whats the Black Book like book with what seems to be a Black Library logo? Never seen that before but reminds of the HH Black Book series, all of which I have.

[Ramell]

Gotta be Macragge's Honour, the graphic novel. It's part of the BL HH series but was released initially in the format of the FW black books.

Yes, it’s that. Sadly not the super-fancy 350-copy ‘Weekender’ version, but rather natty in its own right.

 

While I’m here- Cypher sits pretty alongside the rest of the series…

I still regret missing out on Ghaz. Might go against everything I believe in and pay scalpers' prices. I love that book. Thank you for keeping the thread alive, I will be posting my latest additions as well

just looked on ebay and you can get hold of one for £67; still more than buying direct originally of course, but not too crazy pricing

[Knockagh]

I’m only missing shadowsun from that series. I hear I haven’t missed much. Thraka is the highlight of them so far, hopefully Cypher will be a good read too

My hunt for out-of-print titles continues. I got The Mgister and the Martyr last year and finally got The Serpent and the Saint. They look great together. I quite like the small/A5 hardback size and some of these were pretty difficult to find. I mean, you can get them on eBay but getting them for retail price was the difficult part.

 

 

Already had Gloomspite (still my absolute favorite BL cover), and couldn't resist getting more Gitz

[Sothalor]

Wow you actually got a print copy of Celestine. That one's quite a rarity these days!

[chevalierdulys]

I am thinking of buying a couple of novels (LE), I been buying but now I am looking at 3. Celestine (LE) Mark of Faith (LE) & Cursed City (LE)

Mark of Faith sure looks like a beautiful novel.... Can anyone show me a couple of photos for Cursed City? The other two are more common and so I've seen them...

I don’t even know if you can find the Celestine LE anywhere now. There was one on EBay last week for like 900 USD plus shipping but it’s not there anymore as of 5 minutes ago….

[LemartestheLost]

All of my LE’s to date. Whole collection is probably 40+ more (including Dante, Lemartes, Trial by Blood, and Outgunned in HB)

I really ought to look at getting mine insured. Current prices are crazy…

Back from vacation with some goodies. Had a chance to check out a few small bookstores and some of them happened to have BL books. Most of them are brand new and were under the retail price. Luckily all fit in my suitcase. But I'm running out of bookshelves

Three of the latest SE i got

Today noticed how the BL logo is missing on the sixth volume and messing up the consistency (especially if it returns on the next one). Annoying.

[theSpirea]

These are not LEs or any obscure out-of-print editions. Sometimes even regular paperbacks can make you happy. Glad they restarted the Imperial Guard series.
