It’s always interesting to see the Chinese covers, because they are so different to much of what we have here in the UK (I guess Jack Glass is close, but it isn’t science based or nearly as detailed).Īnd because you are so into this, how about a (slightly blurred) The Way of Kings cover too?

There is Vin, the Lord Ruler, an Inquisitor, Scadrial and more besides. We can see all kinds of great things on this cover. Yet again, Guo’s talents have been called upon to cover the translated text…įor those who haven’t experienced Guo’s work before and are wondering what it’s all about, he calls it a kind of ‘glass painting style’ and uses it to depict scenes from all kinds of franchises, from Harry Potter to Marvel to World of Warcraft. You can enjoy more of his work here!Īnyway, back to today’s cover, The Final Empire (Mistborn, Book 1), Check it out: It seems China liked their dose of classic English-language fantasy and crave some more, this time something more modern in Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn. While the new leather is almost indistinguishable from the old, you might notice slight variations.We’ve featured work from Jian Guo before when we highlighted his incredible Chinese covers for Book of the New Sun and The Lord of The Rings. Please note: Due to our leather supplier cancelling their burgundy bonded-leather, we have found a new supplier with the closest match in color to previous printings (prior to late 2021) of the Mistborn leatherbound series. Published by arrangement with Tor Publishing Group. This is an excellent way to celebrate 10 years of Mistborn: The Final Empire, and will look great on the shelf next to the beautiful leatherbound edition of Elantris! The Dragonsteel Leather edition of Mistborn: The Final Empire is 672 pages. We’ve made this the most-beautiful edition of Mistborn yet, taking the best from the designs of the Era 1 and Era 2 books and melding that with what we began with the leather edition of Elantris. A 24-page 4-color offset art gallery starts off the edition and features never-before seen artwork and a new 2-page map of the Final Empire.

Mistborn: The Final Empire is printed in 2-color offset black and red inks on quality, acid-free paper, includes a bound-in satin-ribbon bookmark, full-color endpapers by Steve Argyle, gilded pages, and two-color foiling on the cover. Like our edition of Elantris, the Dragonsteel edition of Mistborn: The Final Empire is bound in premium bonded-leather, and the pages are smyth-sewn, not glued like most regular books.
