Heya folks…
The 10th Anniversary Edition of the Name of the Wind comes out on Tuesday, (October 3rd.)
What’s that you say? What 10th anniversary edition?
This one:
(I’ve been signing a lot of them for The Tinker’s Packs, lately.)
It’s a pretty, pretty book. And if you think the front cover looks nice, you should see the back….
Now that, my friends, is how you blurb a book. I’m all blushy.
The book has improved, cleaned up text. An introduction, an author’s note (by me), pronunciation guide, and several appendixes about things like the currency systems, the calendar, the Aturan Empire, etc etc.
Also? It has more than 20 illustrations from Dan Dos Santos like this:
And this:
And two new maps from Nathan Taylor like this:

*This event has sold out of seated tickets..however you can still sign up to attend the signing here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/patrick-rothfuss-1011-tickets-37891595783#tickets And while you wait for the signing the reading will be broadcasted on an intercom for all who attend to enjoy.*
That’s all the planned events for now. Sorry if I’m not hitting your hometown, but there’s only so much touring I can do at this point.
If I’m not coming to your neck of the woods, you should contact your local bookstore and pre-order one. (It might work better than just showing up and hoping they have it in stock.) Sometimes bookstores don’t realize how many of you there are, and how enthusiastic y’all are….
Anyway. It’s super late right now. And I’m pretty tired. I need to get to bed.
I’ll see some of you soon….
