Black Library limited edition books are works of art in their own right, just as ready to be picked up and read as displayed proudly on your bookshelves. Take a look at some upcoming titles, and start preparing your shelves for these stunners.
January
Mortis – Limited Edition
Book 5 in the Siege of Terra series is landing planetside very soon, featuring the now-iconic styling of the rest of the novels. A leather-effect, ribbed spine, and embedded metal centrepiece are all included, while the gilt page edges and ribbon bookmark complete the handsome presentation.
Inside this tome, you’ll find pages of full-colour art, including a map of one of the book’s most important settings, as well as John French’s signature and the all-important number from one to 2,500 – cross your fingers for a low one.
Alpharius: Head of the Hydra – Limited Edition
This limited edition of the latest book in The Horus Heresy: Primarchs series is looking swish with a cloth spine and a ribbon bookmark. If you prefer to keep your secrets locked up, as befitting the most enigmatic of the Legions, the magnetic black slipcase bearing the Alpha Legion’s icon has you covered.
There are only 2,500 copies available, so don’t just lurk in the shadows – be prepared to strike if you want it.
The Gate of Bones – Special Edition
The second entry in Warhammer 40,000’s flagship Dawn of Fire series gets the premium treatment with leather-effect binding, including a metallic icon on the front, and a classy ribbon bookmark. You’ll find the full cover art inside, along with two bonus character portraits.
This edition is very limited, with just 2,000 individually-numbered copies, each one signed by Andy Clark himself – just imagine the hand cramps. You’ll also find a bonus short story inside – ‘Sanctuary and Sacrifice’.
March
Ravenor Returned – Limited Edition
Our informants within the Inquisition slipped us an early look at something coming in March and we just had to share it with you. The second book in the beloved Ravenor trilogy, Ravenor Returned, is getting the limited edition treatment. It features stunning cover art to match the limited edition of Ravenor, plus a new introduction by Dan Abnett, individual numbering from 1 to just 1,250 (set a reminder now if you want to secure one for yourself), and an autograph from the man himself.
Keep an eye on Black Library's Coming Soon page for more information, but suffice to say you’ll have plenty of reading material to keep you busy in the new year!
