John from
dreams & visions press wrote in to let us know about the newest updates on their site. The books are on their way to the states, but the folks at dreams & visions whet our appetites with some images of their sample copies.
Interested to know what you'll be getting for your pre-order payments? Well here's the scoop.
Trade EditionThe trade edition is the base model of this book. It is bound in silver-stamped black

Cloth Wrapped Slipcase EditionThis edition is limited to 250 copies, bound in gold-stamped Dynic Saifu cloth with a full-color illustrated inlaid art strip, in a black Dynic Saifu cloth wrapped slipcase. These are individually numbered and hand signed by Ralph McQuarrie, Doug Chiang and Ken Ralston. This edition will cost you $300.

If you haven't placed your order, there are still a few copies left of all editions, but as John points out, "please act quickly, as at the current rate we're receiving pre-orders, we will be sold out of that edition before the books arrive." You can check out more images of the interior art at
