I know, I know the Christmas gift puzzle all too well and that’s why this year I wanted to draw your attention to what are called Christmas Collector’s Editions. Small format publishing houses take advantage of this time of year to come out best sellers in their party clothes. And as these are ephemeral collections, you will have guessed that they will not be not very long available on the shelves so we take advantage of it.
Thus, we can offer one of our loved ones a novel that we liked for around 10 euros with a cover that he will not find later in the shelves of his bookstore. So be careful you will not find not so many famous strangers among the options. The idea is still to bring out novels that have already worked.
So we start with the very good house Pocket, which already usually has a knack for baiting us with pretty blankets. This year they have seen big, we have the choice. If you like the French novel you will find “Nos Résiliences” by Agnès Martin Lugand which is a true ode to life and love. The story of a couple who changed one day… New edition therefore where the black and white photo is replaced by a few lines of a sketched profile on a red background. A beautiful object.
Pocket also highlights Françoise Bourdin and brings out “Le testament d’Ariane” and “Dans les pas d’Ariane” in a single black and gold volume. A family saga that you will enjoy during these Christmas holidays. Pocket is also getting a makeover for the thriller “Au soleil redouté” by Michel Bussi, in a beautiful orange. For Science-Fiction, we also put the small dishes in the big ones with a magnificent Dune of which I already spoke to you and “prelude to Foundation” “of Asimov which should delight fans of the genre.
However, they do not leave aside the thriller. Franck Tilliez and Maxime Chattam are also entitled to their light covers for this Christmas 2021! What is certain is that you will make people happy, each volume does not exceed the price of 10 euros and for hours of reading it’s damn worth it.
Thanks to the Pocket editions for these end of year collector’s items and don’t forget “13 at the table”, the book of unpublished news for the benefit of restos du cœur at 5 euros which will also make a perfect gift.
