The first printing
Editions
There is no silent checkout and no invented ISBN. You join a list. When the object exists, you are offered the sale at the locked first-printing price, in the order the names arrived. Direct from the author. That is how the work stays in the right hands.
An earlier illustrated telling, The Starseed and the Witch, is on Kindle as a picture-book storyboard. This house is for the memoir.
Hardcover
Clothbound first printing
Sewn binding. The copy the work was meant to live in. Reservations are numbered in the order they arrive. Payment is not taken until the edition is bound.
Paperback
Trade paperback
For the bag, the bus, the reread. Same text, quieter object. First-printing list, same as the cloth.
EPUB & PDF
Digital edition
Issued in the purchaser’s name when released. A license to read — not a license to copy, post, or train a model.
Reserve
Names and emails stay on this device for now. When a merchant account is live, the list will be honored in order.
