Seems like too much money for the books, unless this guy is something special

THey aren't just regular books, and there's extra stuff.

All four books are being offered in three formats, depending on the tier you choose to pledge: a digital ebook (available for download the month the book is released), a digital audiobook (available for download the month the book is released), and an unsigned premium hardcover book. Note: While regular hardcover and paperback editions with a traditional publisher are possible sometime in the future, after this campaign is fulfilled the premium version of this book might not be available again.

These premium hardcover books are collectible above your standard hardcover. Each one will be roughly 400 pages long, about the same depth and height as our leatherbound books (about 6-5/16" x 9-1/2"), printed on FSC-certified off-white acid-free paper, and bound in a FSC-certified environmentally friendly colored soft-touch paper material. The cover material is beautiful, giving the look and feel of real leather while, according to the manufacturer, "complying with our strict ecologically sound production methods." The material will then be foiled with the final cover illustrations. Each book will feature 1-4 color interior illustrations throughout along with designed endpapers and chapter headers, all commissioned specifically for this project. Each shipment also includes a themed sticker and a cool, sparkly bookmark.

Thank You Gifts!

We have chosen to give our backers "thank you gifts" for the support rather than include stretch goals, and Brandon has revealed these gifts on each of the past four livestreams. See below for the descriptions and links to these reveals.

1) Dual-color printing inside each premium hardcover, similar to our leatherbounds. See the reveal here: https://youtu.be/MQD2JKr3ljo?t=821

2) Epic bookmark inside the first secret project box for physical reward backers, and Dragonsteel will be covering all customs and taxes for our international backers. See both reveals here: https://youtu.be/KBKBd-peagE?t=250

3) Digital art package for ALL backers that will include the Kickstarter cover image by Howard Lyon, as well as the covers of all four books. See the reveal here: https://youtu.be/F_DfnDkblNQ?t=243

4) A Cosmere character collectible pin set! One pin will be in each of the twelve boxes. See the reveal here: https://youtu.be/pPj6VRnl3og?t=45

Swag Boxes

Beyond these epic books in physical and digital formats, we are also offering a monthly swag box for the eight months you will not be receiving a new book. Themed swag boxes will be shipped to you each month and will contain at least three items: one featured item and two supporting items. Some boxes may include a clothing item such as a t-shirt. In your BackerKit survey (see below for explanation of BackerKit) you will be asked your shirt size. This shirt size cannot be changed once your survey is completed.

Brandon has revealed a small number of these swag items each week on the livestreams. If you are interested in these sneak peeks, they are listed below!

Sanderfan Box: A writing notebook that includes writing prompts from Brandon's own list of ideas. See the reveal here: https://youtu.be/MQD2JKr3ljo?t=6160
