Writing about beautiful books and how to find them

[Daisy from www.BeautifulBooks.info @StoryGoblin]

@KLM left our luggage in Melbourne 2 weeks ago, then sent it to London and lost it there. There is no number for the luggage department, no update, no public reimbursement policy. Tried calling the service line and the CSO just hung up on me (thanks "Veronica"). Do better KLM!

As usual, lots of new #preorder offers, campaigns and book swag added every week from @judyilin, @BrigidKemmerer, @TheKateDylan, etc - and those new #ouabh Ballad of Never After dust jackets are likely to go quickly so move fast!

I just posted a video review of the new "painted edition" #classics for you. Very pretty! But @harpermusebooks I do have questions about the placement choice for those pull-quotes... 👀 #beautifulbooks

@IpswichMuseums @IpswitchMuseums Thanks for posting the pics and I'd love to see your collection one day! But I think this book cover is not by the twins (it's not their style and the signature says 'Varty' - is it a mis-post?

[Daisy from www.BeautifulBooks.info @StoryGoblin]

@simonschusterUK @annabelabbs Looks great @simonschusterUK - is there a different isbn for the special edition with sprayed page edges? Thanks!

[Daisy from www.BeautifulBooks.info @StoryGoblin]

@littleamiss sprayed edges are typically a single colour, stencilled edges have a design, fore-edge painting is usually used these days for hidden designs you can only see when the pages are fanned out, and the word that seems to be gaining popularity for the current style is #spredges 😀

Wondering just how many special editions of @veschwab 's The Invisible Life of Addie LeRue are out there already? (spoiler: a lot!) #addielarue

@abbythecleric This is a pretty comprehensive list, updated every few weeks (part 2 covers July to December): https://t.co/6p3KeZxzL9

[Daisy from www.BeautifulBooks.info @StoryGoblin]

@BartLockhorst @PhilipPullman It's the same story/illustrations but there are a few spelling changes in the different markets (color/colour). Depending on the publisher, there can also be a few sentences censored in the US edition of the 3rd book in the series (Amber Spyglass).

[Daisy from www.BeautifulBooks.info @StoryGoblin]

Have you seen the stunning illustrations by #chriswormell for @PhilipPullman's #hisdarkmaterials series? #northernlights was released in the UK last year, and #thegoldencompass will be available shortly in the US. Highly recommended. Video review here: 📽️https://t.co/esOP7daI76

Does @misterkristoff 's #empireofthevampire have the highest number of pre-order special editions yet??? I've seen at least 11... There's a new feature on my website rounding up special and #limitededition options, you can check them out here! ➡️ https://t.co/v0t0FCikT9

@Zoey_Dixon @lgbtlibrarian @Waterstonesnewb @picadorbooks @OneworldNews @ScribnerBooks @FaberBooks @BookMonsterAlly There's a long (illustrated) list of past and upcoming sprayed edge designs here if that helps! https://t.co/7zkbSGuMov
