SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
THE FIRST RULE
By Robert Crais
LIMITED SIGNED EDITION
We are happy to tell you that we will be publishing a limited edition of Robert Crais’ new book, The First Rule.
This will be the ‘true first edition’ since it will be published in December (the trade edition of The First Rule is coming out in January and will still be the main selection of The Crime Collector’s Club).
The Limited Edition will be published two ways: There will be 100 signed and numbered editions and 26 lettered editions.
Numbered Editions will be published in blue boards and will cost $150.00
Lettered Editions will be published in red boards and will cost $275.00
We’re excited about this limited edition because it comes on the heels of The Lineup which was published in the same handsome format and which sold out very quickly. We are also hoping that this will be the first (or is the second? ) of several limited editions we would like to offer in this format.
Crime Club Members: This limited edition is being offered in addition to the trade edition which members of The Crime Collectors’ Club will receive automatically. If that presents any problem, please contact me (Sally).
Reserve your copy today! Supplies are limited :) :)
Colum McCann has won the prestigious National Book Award for Let The Great World Spin. Congratulations to members of The Unclassifiable Club and all of you who scored a signed first edition. No, we have no more left, and the book is no longer available in first printing.
