After a year of waiting, my copy of Paolo Bacigalupi's Windup Girl arrived yesterday - and it's beautiful. I accidentally bought two. I know, who accidentally buys two copies of a $125 book? - umm, that'd be me (she says shyly & a little embarrassed). Of course, rather than correcting the double click, I decided that I'd go ahead a buy the second copy, giving me the option of selling it later.
The folks over at Subterranean Press were nice enough to send me #2 and #25 out of the first 200 signed copies (dubbed the Deluxe Limited edition). I've unwrapped and shelved #2, but #25 will stay in the box for now (I have to rearrange the books to make room - shelf space is at a premium).
Anyone who reads this blog knows that I love me some Subterranean Press. They create lovely limited editions of sci-fi, fantasy, and other sub-genre titles, and are just nice folks - so anytime I can plug them I do. (I'm not an affiliate, or a politician, so I don't get any kick-backs).
According to the SubPress Web site, they still have a few copies of the Limited Edition (numbered 201-500) - priced at $75.
So far there are no listings on ABE.com, but one seller (on Amazon) is listing the Deluxe Limited edition for $500; and the Limited edition for $250. So, if you have an extra $75 laying about, it might be a good investment to nab one of the few remaining copies from Subterranean.
Also keep in mind, that they'll be publishing a limited edition of Bacigalupi's next book Drowned Cities.

Bacigalupi paints a vivid portrayal of a world unhinged by seed companies that genetically engineer plagues so they can sell crops resistant to their manufactured illness. They have subdued the entire world with this technology. All but Thailand. Bacigalupi adds a post carbon energy economy and rising sea levels to complete a picture of an alien and hostile Earth.
