December is here and with it the holiday gift-giving season!
When it comes to objects, I’m a minimalist. Those authors who have been in my home know this. Though nice, I have few things. I have my signed books—some on bookcases, others on my desk. I have two pieces of artwork on my walls, both framed Michael Whelan signed prints. I don’t have a couch. I don’t have a recliner. I have a Mac on my desk, an iPad on my night stand, and a new television powered by Netflix that I watch from my computer chair when I need to decompress while doing web work.
That doesn’t mean I don’t have a wish list though. There are some really cool items out there and this is the season I begin thinking, “Wouldn’t it be neat if I had X or X or X or X?”
For the month of December I’ll post some of my own personal picks, some of which I’m sure will also excite some of you, maybe to the point you add them to your own gift wish lists!
Day 18: Subterranean Press Editions
 |
 |
The one thing I know about geeks is their desire to collect. It’s in the geek genome or something. We collect all sorts of things—statues, toys, artwork, comic books, and any other number of geeky things.
For me personally and a great many friends I know, we collect books.
Signed books.
Numbered books.
Limited books.
Books. Books. Books.
Subterranean Press is the epitome of a specialty press devoted to creating limited and numbered signed editions of the best books in the science fiction and fantasy genre. They hire some of the best artists in the business, for cover art as well as full-colored plates between the boards. The books are works of art.
Therefore geeks who collect special editions of books will love Sub Press!
There are some great books for sale at the moment on their website, not only currently in stock but also forthcoming. Definitely take a look at the Sub Press catalog, where you can view all titles and authors yourself!
These just might make that geek in your life happy, happy, happy!
