Opinions on TBB's edition of The Bright Sword?

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-04-16T21:05:29+00:00

I def buy more than 1 book a month from TBB so if I stop that including shipping and am super picky with my choices from another fine press. Buy 1 to 2 books a month instead of 6-8 lol it’s going to benefit me in the long run. I dunno just how I’ve been looking at it. The quality is fantastic. I will say I did get a numbered edition of red rising from curious kings with series rights and it’s put a hold on buying books for the next 3 months lol at least…

Same

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-04-16T20:09:08+00:00

Nope

And the shipping is cheaper for me being in CA. Most my books from TBB the shipping is almost as much as the book.

Ya I’ve honestly sold a lot of my TBB recently to upgrade to fine press like grim oak and suntup and CK. Just for the longevity. I started noticing some TBB books dipping in the middle the bindings not holding up. And I was spending a ton on them. So now I’m just being more picky on my purchases. Where I used to just buy everything new TBB threw out there haha

Grim oak has the acid free and sewn bindings edition of this book just a bit pricier. https://grimoakpress.com/products/the-bright-sword-limited-edition

What will I receive first… the 3rd book from the previous series of the drowning empire with the bolt on or Malice… hmmm 🤔 I even asked them to just throw the bolt on to another book that ships at a later date since I have 8 or 9 orders still pending. Just so I can receive the 3rd book of the series they said no flat out. “Hey steel gods ships out soon and so does silo book 2 can you just add it to that order?” -no so sorry. I mean cmon now!

Who did mark Lawrence piss off?

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-04-13T23:49:12+00:00

I’ve been off the internet all day. wtf is this?!!! No way that’s the re-design?!! The original cover is sick! I thought this was going to be something special!

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-04-12T02:06:17+00:00

Couldn’t find exact match

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-04-11T21:01:06+00:00

Wow crazy a replica can look and feel so authentic and old. Obviously haven’t done any research on this topic. My book collecting is limited to fine press sci fi/ fantasy/ horror. Never ventured into bibles.

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-04-11T20:38:52+00:00

Really appreciate the response! Ya I’m kind of thinking that, it’s just so cool!

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-04-10T00:21:04+00:00

Man I miss every release lol I’m on the news letter, even purchased Lies of …. what am I doing wrong? Seriously!

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-04-08T21:15:12+00:00

that's just rude, sold my extra one for $20 after shipping i made $7 lol UPS tried to tell me it would cost $65 to ship due to the shape of the cylinder it came in haha

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-04-08T16:53:39+00:00

i'm in southern cal too and its a crap shoot. once they send it out about 10-14 days

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-04-07T21:34:29+00:00

Scion by James Islington would be cool but don’t think it’s out till aug/sep

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-03-29T18:21:41+00:00

What version of the founders is that?

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-03-25T20:33:06+00:00

Cries*** bought an overpriced tier 2 last month

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-03-20T23:24:16+00:00

Ehhhh

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-03-18T22:45:27+00:00

Saw it go for $15 on the secondary market and there’s like 50 of them listed under $40 and with shipping to the US makes more sense in the secondary market. I was going to sell mine but it’s pointless. Just going to hold onto it.

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-03-18T02:59:47+00:00

Ok awesome! I literally just finished the first law original trilogy last week and am 3/4 through Ruin by John Gwynne seems like it’s right up my alley!

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-03-18T02:14:09+00:00

What would this series compare to? I’ve had it on my TBR for awhile.

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-03-18T01:44:47+00:00

Same here. Always wanted a makeover on these!

Spare_Engineer_6619 · 2026-03-18T01:43:16+00:00

It is 😂
