The story is building up towards me being tempted to buy the fancy leatherbound version. The secret archives are kind of in between, and the Stormlight Archives are the ones I'd really want, but I seriously can't justify $250 apiece for those.
That purple is sexy though.
Haha, yeah. To be frank, I am not a fan of the outer cover of these leatherbound versions, I prefer the full-picture cover pages of paper books, but other than that, illustrations, the pages, the writing, the overall quality, they are all so good in these versions!
Too expensive though. Maybe one day.
I'm a big fan of quality leatherbound stuff, though I can't actually afford any of it. I do really enjoy the art on the regular Stormlight books especially, but I just like leather. Warbreaker would also be a good case for a leatherbound version because I don't particularly like that cover.
It's all pretty silly when the reality is that there's not a very good reason to have any physical books because I read them all as audiobooks, but since I started I can't seem to help myself. It's a good thing I have no shelf space or I'd really be in trouble.
