The Locked Library Classics is our curated collection of literary works, designed to be read and treasured for a lifetime.
Here’s how our Classics work and what you can expect when you order one.
What Every Classic Includes
Every Locked Library Classic is a true piece of art, and because it’s us, they all feature our signature matching spines.
With a variety of talented artists working across each edition, but the elements of the Classics will all remain the same. Every edition in the range includes:
- A jacketless hardback with foil and illustrations printed directly onto the board
- Digitally sprayed edges
- Illustrated endpapers (different designs on the front and back endpapers)
- A printed ribbon marker
- A matching spine to the rest of the Classics collection
- B format hardback
Subscribers Get First Access
Every new Classic will be available for early access and a discounted price of £20 to active subscribers of The Locked Library, The Forbidden Wing and Forever Yours. After the subscriber window closes, the book will go on to general sale priced at £22.
If you’re not yet subscribed, you can join the waitlist for any of our subscriptions to be notified when we have a space.
First Printings
When a new Classic is released, the initial print will be classified as The First Printing. Every copy from that print run will contain the number 1 on the copyright page, so you will know at a glance if yours is a First Printing.
The only way to guarantee a First Printing is to buy during subscriber early access or the first general sale.
