Featured book: Babel by R.F. Kuang
Set against the backdrop of historic Oxford, and with an absolutely memorable cast of characters, we fell in love with this impeccably written critique of imperialism and the institutions that uphold it.
Our Illumicrate edition is a naked hardback featuring a redesigned cover…inside a slipcase!! We’ve never done a slipcase edition in our monthly subscription before, and we are thrilled to make this our first! If you’re a fan of the trade cover of Babel then never fear, our slipcase design bears this in mind!
Our edition also features digitally printed edges, contains a bound-in author letter and exclusive bonus content, and is signed by the author!
Items this month are inspired by The Atlas Six, Bunny, A Lesson in Vengeance and Babel! There will also be a fandom neutral item that was a big hit last year! We’ve taken inspiration from the cover of Babel for the contents of this month’s box, and we love how cohesive everything looks.

Our FAQs

All FAQs-
Will you be restocking any of your special edition boxes?
All our Illumicrate Editions, Collections and Archives boxes are sold as one-off boxes, which means once they're sold out they won't be restocked in the future.
While we don't regularly sell individual items, very occasionally we do have sales of full boxes or individual items we have left over after replacements and damages. These sales are usually announced on our social media so keep your eyes peeled!
Sometimes we have reprinted book sets such as the Roots of Chaos set, however it is very rare that we do this. We also cannot guarantee any reprinted sets will be signed. As with all of our products, any reprints will be announced on social media and the news section of our website.

Can I buy past boxes or individual items from past boxes?
If a special edition book or box does not sell out prior to the initial shipping date, it will remain for sale in our shop. If they do sell out during the pre-order window (before the initial shipping date), we will wait at least three months to resolve any orders that were damaged or lost in transit. Once an appropriate period has passed for these to be resolved, we will assess the remaining stock and may put the remainder up for sale.
If you can't find a past special edition in our shop, it means we currently don't have the stock available - sorry for any disappointment.We also sometimes sell the books or full boxes from our monthly box and book subscriptions in our shop. If you are based in the US or Canada, you can purchase Illumicrate past boxes from our US website.
While we don't regularly sell individual items, very occasionally we do have sales of individual items we have left over. These sales will usually be announced on our social media so keep your eyes peeled!
