The first edition of the Luck of Madonna 13 is called the Chronicler's Edition, a special run of 2,434 numbered and personally autographed hardcover books. Am I saying the Chronicler is really going to personally sign 2,434 copies? Yep. The Chronicler has a sturdy right hand, and just to prove it there's an example below. It's possible that your copy will one day become a cherished collectible, but maybe the Chronicler is getting delusional again. In any case, it's a very nicely made book: a 6" x 9" quality hardcover printed on recycled, acid free book paper. Very environmentally responsible stuff. And nice quality, too. There's also a gorgeous full-color frontispiece illustration, a tiny portion of which appears in the window to the left.

To buy an autographed and numbered collectible copy online, just click on the Amazon.com link below. I believe you can also buy copies online at the publisher's website and that they have some extra goodies they might be induced to give away with books purchased there. A growing number of visionary bricks and mortar booksellers are also carrying the Chronicler's Edition. Wherever you choose to get yours, get it soon. I don't mean to sound like a huckster, but when these first editions are gone, they're gone.
