My Top 20 Special Edition Books! (As of 2023)
436Thank you so much to Wraithmarked for sponsoring this video! Less than 48 hours left before their awesome Kickstarter campaign of Iron Prince and Fire and Song ends. Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wraithmarked/stormweaver1and2?ref=d39dwx
Hi everyone! The penultimate video of the year 2023 is here. I have talked about the best books I read in the year 2023. Today, I want to showcase the most beautiful books I own as of 2023 because I know that by the end of the next year, this ranking and list will change a lot. Curious King, Folio Society, Subterranean Press, Grim Oak Press, The Broken Binding, Wraithmarked Creative, and Indie Kickstarter campaigns. There are so many stunning special editions popping up every week now. Before the acquisition of many of them, hopefully anyway, I want to do a ranking of the top 10 (plus 10 honorable mentions) most beautiful books I own.
Although I will be voicing a few criticisms, I should note that I treasure all 20 books showcased here. I want to say thank you so much to Anthony from the Curious King, AdiRaven, Jenn Dakki, Andrew Torres, fellow BookTubers, The Broken Binding, Indie authors, and Wraithmarked Creative for giving me books I will cherish. Rest assured, your gifts are in good hands. :)
Let me know what you think about these special editions! Which one is your favorite? Also, sorry for the poor lighting here. My usual equipment broke down, and I tried to make do with what I had. Waiting for a new light during the holiday season will take too long.
