Lots of people have been asking me about what special content might turn up in City of Lost Souls (everyone’s getting used to the crazy special content thing, I think.) There is a lot of it this time — four different editions. And even though I don’t have the information for any foreign editions (except Canada!) yet, this is what I do know:
Special Content:
IN THE US:
BARNES AND NOBLE will be carrying their own special edition. It will contain a letter from Stephen Herondale (Jace’s real father) to Jace, written before he died. It will be detachable and affixed to the back of the book.
WALMART will be carrying its own special edition. It will contain the short story “A Dark Transformation” about how Jonathan Morgenstern took over the identity of Sebastian Verlac.
COSTCO will be carrying its own special edition. It will contain “The Act of Falling”: the “alleyway kiss” from City of Fallen Angels from Jace’s perspective.
Target will be carrying its own special edition: the short story “A Question of Power” in which Alec and Camille talk about Magnus and his father.
In Canada:
INDIGO/CHAPTERS will be carrying the same special edition as BARNES AND NOBLE in the US. COSTCO CANADA will be carrying the same edition as COSTCO US.
In Australia/In the UK:
Still waiting on this info.

***As far as I know, no special content comes with e-books/kindles/nooks. [Because no one expects anyone to buy more than one copy of the book, ALL THIS SPECIAL CONTENT WILL BE POSTED ONLINE AFTER AN EXCLUSIVITY PERIOD OF BETWEEN 3-6 MONTHS. So just pick whichever you think you’d like to own/would be your favorite, and know you can read the others online for free down the road.

I wonder what version Amazon is getting? That is whre I usually buy my books.
ReplyDeleteGreat question. In the past they've not carried their own edition. I wonder if this year they might change that.
DeleteHmm, I wonder what the UK will get. I don't like that if I buy on Kindle I won't get anything. These books are so awkwardly huge. Such a weird height that I just hate to hold the book! Don't you think? If I was in the States, I'd go to each store and read the special content and then put the book back on the shelf. Bwwahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteLOL I'm sure many fans will do that. It's hard to decide which edition to buy. Usually a few months after the book is out Cassie is able to post the content on her blog.
DeleteI wonder if this sort of thing applies to the ID series, as well. I still need to read about Jem's POV when meeting Tessa, but I didn't buy my book at Wal-mart. Will all those extras be online to read somewhere later this year?
ReplyDeleteIt does. There were three different additions for CP when it was out as well. Usually a few months after the book is out Cassie is able to post it on her website.
DeleteHoly crap! So I have to purchase 4 different versions?!?!?! Crazy!

I know! I thought the same thing :)
DeleteThanks for posting! I've been wondering about this. No word on any signed copies that we can pre-order? Or will that only come from a tour stop?
ReplyDeleteOhh... they all are SO tempting, but I think I'm going with the Target edition.
ReplyDeleteWill you post when the bonus' are available online?. Thanks!,
ReplyDeleteRuthieLynn- Cassie said she'd start posting the extra content a few months after COLS's release. Once she does, I'll post it on here and the forum :)
