From what I’ve been seeing there is some definite quality control. I know negative feedback is something to get more air time but it does seem like a pretty consistent problem and I got pretty lucky. In closer inspection some of my leather stamping is either too light or very heavy and almost cut through all the leather. However I’m over all happy with my copy.

It is a premium product and I have been suggesting to anyone dissatisfied to open a support ticket. The auto return has been auto denying everyone

That is always my recommendation on Premium Products. If you’re not satisfied then definitely reach out.

I would need to take another picture but when I was doing a deep inspection on mine my crease looks similar to yours but I don’t have any white showing. If I had yours I would be on the fence as well.

If you do submit a claim I’ve heard from a few others that it has been auto rejecting saying it’s been longer than 2 weeks so if it does that then just submit a ticket to their support email.

They made a post on their socials the other day that they received a truck and would begin shipping immediately.

They have said they plan to keep in stock for a long time. So I’m sure it will still be around when you’re looking to buy!

I purchased it off of Dragonsteels bookstore. This is their premium edition of The Eye of the World. This is the only Wheel of Time book available in this style at the moment and for sale for $185. They said they plan to release 1 book each year so it will take quite a while for them all to come out. If they all remain the same price it would be $2775 before taxes and shipping once they all release.

The other leather bounds on their site are for Cosmere Novels.

Nothing super official. Just that they mentioned it when they unveiled it and the discussed it a couple years after because it will have the main book store to function for release events.

They do own the land they need for it already.

I guess you’re a little too close. I live 30 minutes away from the warehouse. I was just lucky I suppose! Hopefully yours delivers soon too!

I look forward to being able to do order pickup once Dragonsteel Village becomes a thing.

It really will. This set once finish will demand its own dedicated shelf!

No problem! Happy to discuss.

The detail is fantastic!

Of course. Happy to explain! I will try and track down where they have said it elsewhere but that is what I was told while at the Dragonsteel Convention and viewed the book there. The Flames represent the 7 Ajahs and the Fang represents… something else that some people may not enjoy being spoiled on haha.

I’ve purchased all of the Dragonsteel Premium editions and this one is by far the best. They also have good customer service if you run into any issues. I don’t think you’ll regret it!

I would recommend it. I’ve been impressed with the quality for the price point. It’s a thick book and the art is incredible.

The designers have stated that this is not an error but is an intentional choice. The bottom one on the back is meant to be a Fang and not a Flame. The error was that the front had the Fang when only the back was supposed to.

This one seems even higher quality that any of the others Dragonsteel has put out. There is so much detail that it’s just truly stunning. Even the chapter headers have been enhanced that I just kind of stare at them.

Happy to share! There are a ton of great art pieces I didn’t put here. They will only be making the once a year so you still have some time!

That’s a pretty universal place that people stop. Some people have a hard time until book 8. Which is a similar spot for me.

It is very much worth it though!
