That is a lot of money.

"Books are signed and numbered, with printed endpapers, foil stamping, a cloth slipcase, and a ribbon marker."
Hi All...
Hard to believe that publishers still entertain limited editions at these prices!

I could ask them! I'm curious to know just how many numbered copies they usuasly produce. They come in a carton of 12, so.. there's at least 12. :D ..but they are NOT returnable.

You know, with all the "extras"[1] $50 would be
approaching a ripoff. $250 is just blatant robbery. [1]
Most of the so called extras are often included at no
extra charge when you print in bulk.

Oh! The special signed edition! Very few of these are being printed, I'd say under 200 copies. These are mostly for special orders. We've had asks in the past for special editions, so this is in part an answer to that.

I hear ya. But that is what I must contend with. It is too bad
that the person in that official full-time job needs to use the
signature as their platform to keep announcing their pronouns.

Then don't buy one. Are you being forced to buy one?
So your philosophy is that it doesn't matter if someone is
engaging in immoral exploitation, you'll just stand by and let it
happen to everyone unless it's you who is being exploited.
Ok, got it.

Actually, in the RPG world (as in actual tabletop RPG
games) there has been a tendency for increasing quality at
the expense of quantity and price for quite a while.
I have noticed many RPG manuals come with thicker paper,
better inking, more illustrations... you name it. ...
What I mean is that there is a niche for hobbyists who are
willing to spend loads of money without a need for it.
Serious questions here. Please help me understand. Thanks.

And where is that so-called quality being produced? China?

I'm repeatedly disappointed that many books have "printed/ bound/manufactured" in China markers.
And where is that so-called quality being produced? China?China is simply more competitive. Some years back I published a coffee table style book, a Regimental History, with lots of photos and diagrams so it made sense to have it all done nicely in colour.

I costed it out to print locally and in China. there was no comparison. The China cost included all those "extra" features such as chicken embossing, satin book marker, fancy end-sheets etc. It was also hand-stiched not machine. Cost price was half the price of the local cost but for five times the number... that is local price was R120000 for 1000 copies. China cost was R60000 for 5000 copies. That's shipping to SA included.
I flew to Shanghai to to the QA checks which were perfect and still made a huge profit
This is why I say charging that amount for the "premium edition" is ridiculous. Make a profit, sure, but don't blatantly rip people off.

I just checked a random premium book from Nosolorol from
my shelf. A Spanish company is listed as the printer and
the inner credits identify the book as printed in Spain.
Boardgames are massively produced in China, though, with
some exceptions. I keep thinking of buying this horse-
themed board game (Winners Circle) but the only edition
worth it is Korean..
and costs more than a kidney transplant
- including the price of having the mafia kidnap a kid and
extract his kidney for you.

Lol, it is not me who thinks billing premium for non-essential
services just because some morons will pay it is exploitative. I
am afraid I haev no satisfactory answer myself.

Nice. Their catalog seems mostly graphic novels?

Why would you want the Korean edition?
