The leather for both Words of Radiance and The Way of Kings leatherbound books is the same color. The foiling on the books can change the way the eye perceives the leather.
Isles of the Emberdark (the new Secret Project), Dragonsteel Prime, and The Way of Kings Prime (2nd edition) are animal friendly, bound in a soft-touch faux leather!
All books purchased through the BackerKit campaign will be published in English. Dragonsteel anticipates that contracts for non-leatherbound translation and publication in foreign languages will eventually be announced, but cannot offer a timeline of when these versions may be available in other languages.
All of Dragonsteel’s books—hardcover and leatherbound—are printed and bound in the USA, with the leatherbounds being printed at American Print & Bindery. If you want to learn more about Dragonsteel’s leatherbound printing press, watch this video about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTAJsMrwr7Q.
