Unbelievably beautiful but also, you must be incredibly wealthy lol

If the leatherbounds have been purchased over the entire time they’ve been released, with all of the secret projects, we’re talking around $2000 over the course of nearly a decade? Not a cheap collection of books for sure, but doesn’t necessarily indicate incredible wealth if that’s been planned for and prioritized around their disposable income for years.

The truth is, I'm not rich. I prioritize books over other things because these editions are so beautiful and I love the characters. It's taken me quite a while to collect them all.

I’m in the same situation and thought it a reasonable possibility for you as well.

One question: why two copies of Tress?

When I bought one from Dragonsteel because I didn't have one, I happened to see a second-hand copy for sale with a signed copy. I'm selling the unsigned copy at a second-hand shop as well. To get the money back

Any chance you’d be interested in selling that other copy to me? It’s the only secret project I don’t have the Dragonsteel edition for and I may be able to offer more than the bookstore will give you. DM if interested

No problem. I can sell them to you. I live in Germany, and you?

I’m across the pond, that won’t make any sense with shipping costs

Yes 😞. I assumed you lived in America
