As some of you who follow my facebook and twitter might have noticed, I’ve been traveling a lot lately.
That, combined with the fact that our Geeks Doing Good fundraiser went incredibly well, means that I, and the rest of the Worldbuilders Team, have been absolutely swamped the last few weeks.
Well. *I’ve* been swamped. The worldbuilders team just seems to be lounging around on… oh. Wait. Those are packing peanuts, aren’t they?Like, a billion packing peanuts for the billion packages we’ll be sending out….
Never mind.
Anyway, between San Diego Comic Con and Spain, I’ve been on the road for more than two weeks. I’d thought to myself that I might be able to post a couple blogs while I was traveling, but apparently that was just my lightly repressed crazy talking, because no. When I’m traveling and I have to choose between blog and sleep, sleep wins every time.
Because of this terrible weakness on my part, I wasn’t able to post up the July Novelties in a timely fashion. So we’re going to combine July and August’s books into one great big super-bomb of delicious newly-released bookness.
As always, every one of these books is a first edition. All of them are signed. Many of them are doodled in or otherwise cool.
And all the money you spend in The Tinker’s Packs goes to charity.
- Dust and Light. Doodled, signed, and dated by Carol Berg
“A tale of magic and politics, of intrigue and betrayal. Set in a rich world, told through the eyes of a compelling and sympathetic hero, [Berg’s] store twists and turns.” – D.B. Jackson
If you’re interested in this beautiful new book, grab it over here.
- The Lost. Inscribed and signed by Sarah Beth Durst
“Told in a descriptive style that perfectly captures the changing settings, Durst’s novel is a page-turner.” – Booklist on Ice
This one is available right here.
- Child of a Hidden Sea. Inscribed, signed, and dated by A. M . Dellamonica
“Dellamonica’s tale is one of intrigue and power struggles, jealousy and competition, culture shock and the alienation of discovering your family is not what you thought.” – Marie Brennan
Grab your own copy over here.
- The Tropic of Serpents. Inscribed and signed by Marie Brennan
“If you’re ever secretly wished dragons were real, this story is for you. Fans of Naomi Novik and Mary Robinette Kowal will especially enjoy this book.” – RT Book Reviews
This awesome book is available for you right here.
- Full Fathom Five. Signed by Max Gladstone
“I’m having Max Gladtstone killed. He’s too good already to be allowed to live. If this is early work, the rest of us are out of a job.” – Elizabeth Bear
I kind of agree with Bear there. I just today posted up a review of Max’s first book in this series and I loved the second one just as much if not more. I’m currently halfway through this one, and it looks like he’s going to make the hat trick.
If you want to see what all the fuss is about, get your copy here.
- The Goblin Emperor . Inscribed, doodled, dated, and signed by Katherine Addison
“Challenging, invigorating, and unique. If court intrigue is your wine of choice, The Goblin Emperor is the headiest vintage I’ve come across in years.” – Scott Lynch
Katherine Addison (aka Sarah Monette) went above and beyond for these, so if you want your own lovingly doodled copy, grab one here. The Tor logo never looked so good.
- Elisha Barber and an ARC of Elisha Magus. Both Signed by E.C. Ambrose
“Elisha Barber is an edgy, vivid story with engaging characters and a well-drawn setting that’s almost, but not quite, our own history. I was drawn right in, quick as a slash of a barber’s razor.” – Kevin J. Anderson
This one is particularly cool because you’re getting a hardcover copy of the first book in the series, in addition to an ARC of the second book, which was just released.
We’ve only got two sets of these books, so get them while you can.

We’re also throwing a new poster up in the store…
Kvothe and the Scraeling was a piece of bonus art Shane did while working on the Name of the Wind playing cards.
You can buy a copy up over here, along some other cool posters….
That’s all for now, everybody. I’ll share some pictures and stories from Spain and Comic Con soon…
