This week in collectible books (Aug 18 - Aug 24)
Here's this week's roundup of collector's editions that just landed, came back in stock, or are still on the way, across every publisher and producer I track.
All dates listed are general sale dates. Where a book has its own page on the publisher's site, I link to that. Otherwise the link goes to the book's page on Lazy Book Collector (which I run), where you can see its specs, compare it with other editions, set alerts, and more.
