The Name of the Wind: 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (Hardcover)
$16.65 (was $45)
Originally published in 2007, The Name of the Wind received rave reviews and quickly earned Rothfuss legions of fans. It’s the first book in The Kingkiller Chronicle, an ongoing saga that currently contains two novels and two novellas.
The 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition is 752 pages and features more than 50 pages of extra content. Among the new content is a smattering of illustrations, a detailed world map, a note from Patrick Rothfuss, an appendix discussing the world’s currencies and calendar, and a guide to pronouncing the various names and places throughout the novel.
You’ll also get a bold new cover design from artist Sam Weber and designer Paul Buckley, which makes it an excellent centerpiece for fans of the series.
The Name of the Wind tells of the story of Kvothe, a young wizard in the world of Temerant. It uses a unique style that employs both first-and third-person narration, as Kvothe talks to a scribe about his past while a separate story is unraveling in the present. It’s a fantastic fantasy novel that tells a sprawling yet simultaneously intimate story.
If you’re looking for an even more affordable version of the book, the trade paperback of The Name of the Wind is just $8.26 (was $22). But since you’re getting so much more content and a better-quality book, the 10th Anniversary Edition is probably worth the extra eight bucks. There’s currently no reason to consider the standard hardcover version, as it’s more expensive than the fancier edition at $17.46.
