City of Lost Souls Special Editions

May 8th is just around the corner and this week Barnes & Noble announced their City of Lost Souls exclusive content, as well as the cover which features their exclusive content sticker!!

The New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments continues- and so do the thrills and danger for Jace, Clary, and Simon.

Can the lost be reclaimed? What price is too high to pay for love? Who can be trusted when sin and salvation collide?

Love. Blood. Betrayal. Revenge.

Darkness threatens to claim the Shadowhunters in the harrowing fifth book of the Mortal Instruments series.

The Barnes & Noble exclusive content is a letter to Jace from his father. You can pre-order your copy here.

Here's a brief re-cap about my post for the different COLS editions:

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 more news

Ebooks/Kindles/Nooks:

At the time of this post no special content was included with these books.

Special Content:

Cassie does NOT have a say about what content goes in which editions. That is strictly a publisher's decisions. However, Cassie and Simon & Schuster don't except fans to buy more than one copy of the book and ALL SPECIAL content will be posted online after an exclusivity period of time, which is usually between 3-6 months.

This makes it easier for fans to pick which edition they'd like to own and instead of stressing over how they're going to afford all of them, or in our case we're wondering how we could possibly justify to our husbands why we own four different copies of the same book. HAHA
