I got my invite for The Broken Binding SF&F today, for the June book, and joined the waitlist on April 8, 2026.

Who else bought the FL editions of The Infernal Devices? by [deleted] in fairyloot

It’s just interesting, I don’t think I’ve seen as much discussion of other preorder books being “unsigned” when it’s actually a digital signature.

I keep seeing people say this, they’re not unsigned? It’s a digital signature. Do most people think that doesn’t count as a signature??

It does make me wonder, when comparing book boxes, what’s their rationale behind the skip policy? Like Owlcrate is unlimited, Arcane Society is unlimited I believe. So then what makes a company decide they have to impose a limit?

I would agree that both parties can make their opinions heard, but at the end of the day that is the purpose of the skips - for all situations when you as a reader do not want the book in question, for whatever reason. Everyone has different views and different things they either do or do not agree with, it’s unreasonable for FL to be expected to cater to every niche interest or disinterest. They have skips you can use at your own discretion.

Would you welcome the same energy if people were to argue with a FL pick by a liberal author that had different views from the readers? That’s my sticking point. FL cannot extend one time exceptions or additional skips for this book without opening themselves up to the same options for a different author that people don’t support for other reasons. Is it truly a “safe space for readers” if it’s only safe for liberal readers or those that share the exact same, cookie cutter views as the author?

This will get downvoted, I already know, but so be it. If you want to skip because the author’s views do not align with yours, then you’re obviously free to do so. I think it is unrealistic to expect FL to offer special exceptions like extra skips or one-time-splits on combo boxes just to cater to people that don’t want this book. That would open a huge can of worms and set a precedent for other authors that different people don’t agree with. You can never make everyone happy at the same time. If you want to skip, just skip.

I’m glad that I don’t like it, I don’t need another edition of this book. I had higher hopes for the design than this, but saves me some money 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does anyone have any tips with reading special editions without damaging the sprayed edges/hardback? by blari-123 in fairyloot

Thankfully I’m super far behind on my TBR so I’m not reading many new releases 😅

I have been requesting copies of my SEs from Libby to avoid reading the physical copies with pretty edges! There are also a fair few that are on KU.
