Our latest release is ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ by L. Frank Baum. This title is presented in two states– the Lettered and the Numbered editions.

The Numbered edition is limited to 250 copies, the first 150 of which carry rights to the next title in the Lyra’s Classics series. Copies numbered 151-250 do not carry rights to the next title. The Lettered edition is limited to 26 copies, all of which carry rights to the next title in the Lyra’s Classics series.

All copies will be available to pre-order. Current rights holders will be given the opportunity to purchase their matching designations first and we will begin contacting those customers on Friday 19th April. Those customers will have until Tuesday 23rd April to make their purchase after which any unclaimed copies will be made available along with the non-rights copies.

After the rights holder period ends, all remaining copies of the Numbered edition will be available by lottery only. If you are successful, you will be notified which version (rights or non-rights) you have the opportunity to purchase before making a payment.

There may also be a lottery for any remaining copies of the Lettered edition.

The lotteries for both editions will open at midday BST (GMT+1) on Thursday the 25th of April and will be accessible on the product pages. The lottery forms will be open for 48 hours before we make the draw. If your name is selected, you will receive an email.

If there are copies of either edition still available after the lottery period ends, they will be made available on the shop pages where you will be able to purchase directly from the website.

We expect to finish the books around Autumn 2024.
