I'm seriously debating whether or not to get one. I waaaaaant a copy 
but they are very pricey, even with the current discount. However, they DO manufacture REALLY pretty books as anyone with a copy of [[A Fantasy Medley]] can tell you - and the thing is, if you're thinking about getting one, you should buy it now. It is a limited edition and there won't be more - and 2nd hand copies of these will likely be even more expensive. Btw, I'm not affiliated with them in any way, so that's not the reason I'm urging people to act. 
It's just that copies of the trade edition of AFM (which was a much larger printing, 3000 copies!) were originally $20 and are now selling between $90 and $200 in amazon and ebay - and most of the time no one's even listing them! So if you're willing to invest in this book, you should buy it new.
(Of course one can argue that a factor in the ridiculous AFM prices is that it's the only publication with [[Words Like Coins]] in it and there are plenty of cheaper ways to get to own a copy of the stories in the Inheritance. So it will be quite interesting to see how these will sell and what the 2nd hand price will come to be.)
