I’ve sold 3 special edition books, and am book swapping (website officiated) 2 additional books. It feels so good to get these books outta here!
Do any of you have any recent purges or the like?
Hello lovely book collectors!
I wanted to share an update on some new features on RareBindings.net, the site I built to help keep track of all the special editions being released these days.
I recently added collection valuations, so you can now see an estimated value for your collection based on secondary sales data from eBay. The estimate shows a min / median / max range by aggregating recent sales data.
If a book does not have secondary sales data yet, you can choose to include the retail price as the basis for the estimate instead. I’ve also added recent sales data directly to book pages, so you can quickly check what similar editions have sold for. That should make it easier to price a book if you’re selling, or check whether you’re getting a fair deal when buying.
The site also supports saved searches and stock alerts, so you can keep an eye on specific books, authors, publishers, stores, or features without manually checking everything all the time.
RareBindings now supports:
- The Broken Binding
- FairyLoot
- Illumicrate
- OwlCrate
- Folio Society
- Subterranean Press
- Suntup Editions
- Grim Oak Press
- LitJoy
- Goldsboro Books
- Dragonsteel Books
- Moonlight Book Box
- The Locked Library
- The Bookish Shop
- Arcane Society
- Lit Escalates
- Waterstones
With more to come! As always, I’m building this as a collector myself, so feedback, bug reports, and store suggestions are very welcome.
Thank you!
I'm on the waitlist for Evernight, and just signed up for Owlcrate Horror. I'm super excited about their next book, but then I'm not sure if I'll keep the subscription or go to Evernight once I get the invite, or do both. I'd love to hear some opinions from those who have subscribed to either or both.
I'm also on the waitlist for Starbright, which I'm likely going to jump on as soon as I get an invite!
Also of note, I have Owlcrate's Sworn Soldier series (which I'm loving!) but do not yet own any Illumicrate books to compare to.
Hi! Since shipping to Australia is so darn expensive I was wondering if anyone has a friend referral rewards code that I can use? U know, the £5 off their first purchase?
Hi guys,
Quick question cause I’ve been out of the loop. Did illumicrate announce a reprint of Arc of a Scythe? I was sure they said they’d do it but I might have misread it (that was months ago).
Sorry had to blurr my order number but anyway I saw this series on booktube thought about it and pulled the trigger is it a good series?
Hello, I was wondering if we know what will happen to this series after this date ? As they say you can only purchase them up until the 15.05… but if they still have copies, will they still be taken down from the site or they will just put normale on the website for sale until the copies are gone ?
Hi
I’ve got the irresistible urge of falling in love with your enemy but haven’t had the chance to read it yet. Is the sequel worth buying?
The gold foiling was completely missed on The Sea of Monsters, apparently. I've submitted a form with IC to check on a replacement or something hopefully, but that was disappointing to see. They're a present for my niece (luckily Christmas, so plenty of time to get a replacement) but I just really want to make sure the set looks perfect for her because she loves this series.
So happy with these! I have suggested that the latest 2 (Book 6: The Chalice Of The Gods and Book 7: Wrath Of The Triple Goddess) be done too, as the Percy Jackson Heroes Of Olympus series has already been given Illumicrate Editions (preordered mine 😍). Suggested it on their Illumicrate Suggestion Form
Sp if anyone else wants to suggest the latest 2 Percy Jackson and The Olympians books also get added to the illumicrate collection, please suggest it. 😊
But yeah, I'm still happy to get my set. Happy it got to me without damage. Hopefully anyone else who's waiting for their's, won't be waiting long.
I’m considering getting the Farseer Trilogy but am curious about the paper type and binding.
Is it acid free paper or just industry standard stocked groundwood? And is the binding glued or sewn?
In order: the item hints; illumicrate dust jacket; afterlight endpaper; mindsight hardback.
What do you think? I’m really sad the Sorcery and Small Magic item is embroidery. We JUST got a cross stitch kit and I loved that book, I would much rather it be the “large useful fabric item.” (Have they done a towel before?)
All of the art looks nice though!
Anyone had confirmation that their order has shipped yet? Is there a rough window I can expect it to arrive?
