And there is no way to save her.But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose. NOTE: Every chapter illustrated by Donato Giancola! And foiled dust jacket! FAQ Question: Why are you producing this with the trade paperback artwork?Answer: I wanted a hardcover that matches the design and art seen in the newest Naomi Novik hardcover title, The Summer War. Question: Will you produce Spinning Silver with a hardcover too?Answer: If this hardcover sells well, you bet. Question: Do these books have original artwork in them?Answer: Yes, every chapter is illustrated (32 illustrations!) by the amazing Donato Giancola, using the same artwork originally published in the limited Grim Oak Press special edition of Uprooted. Question: Will these books be like Grim Oak Press books?Answer: No. Grim Oak Press uses high-end materials like cloth/leather boards, sewn-in ribbon, foil, dust jacket embossments, special endpapers, etc. These books will have acid-free paper and be Smyth-sewn for lasting bindings though. Also, a foiled dust jacket. Made to last, made to be read. Question: Will this book be numbered or lettered?Answer: No, maintaining a number/letter list so people can match is too difficult for a one-person effort like The Signed Page. The title page will state these are limited to a certain amount though. Question: Will you ever produce a second printing?Answer: Never. This is your one chance to get this book. Make it count. Question: These are limited then?Answer: Yes, I can only produce a maximum of 2000 copies. Question: Will these books be 6"x9" or a different size?Answer: They will be a bit bigger than that to match the same dimensions as Naomi Novik books published by Del Rey Books. Question: Will this book be signed by Naomi or Donato?Answer: No, they will not be signed.
