Joe Abercrombie — All Illustrations Turned in for THE BLADE ITSELF

The Blade Itself

Just days ago, Alexander Preuss turned in the final illustrations (including full color endsheets) for Joe Abercrombie’s The Blade Itself, one of the best epic fantasy debut novels of the past decade.

The novel itself is completely proofed, and ready for the printer. All that remains is for us to have ARCs printed, let them circulate so word about our edition will build, and then we’ll publish later this fall. At this point, we’ve sold roughly 300 of the 500 numbered copies, and all of the lettered copies. We’re certain that sales will again pick up now that we’ve posted the cover, and will again when we post more of the full-color interiors to the book’s page.
