‘THE SHADOWHUNTER’S CODEX’ special edition coming Oct. 29
Fans of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter Chronicles are eagerly awaiting the release of The Shadowhunter’s Codex on Oct. 29. And now fans can have their pick of Codexs.
Aside from the regular edition, the special edition version of The Shadowhunter’s Codex will also be available on Oct. 29 but for $30.32. The special edition “comes in a beautiful slipcase with luxurious detailing that matches its historic importance.” That appears to be the only difference between the two versions.
Here is the full product description:
Don’t miss “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones,” soon to be a major motion picture in theaters August 2013.
Delve into the details of all things Shadowhunter with this illustrated guide to the knowledge and lore of the Shadowhunter world.
Since the thirteenth century, the Shadowhunter’s Codex has been the””one and only manual for Shadowhunters looking to brush up on their demon languages, learn proper stele use, and discover just what exactly a pyxis is. Featured in both The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices, this guide is a necessity for any young Nephilim on their journey to becoming a Shadowhunter. Beautifully illustrated, the Codex contains images of the famous Shadowhunter homeland of Idris, as well as depictions of demons and other Downworlders.
But this isn’t just any copy of “The Shadowhunter’s Codex.” It’s Clary’s copy, and as an artist herself, she’s sketched pictures of her friends and family in the book, and scrawled helpful advice in the margins. Of course, she couldn’t exactly stop Jace or Simon from adding their thoughts either. Part encyclopedia, part history, part training manual–complete with commentary from Shadowhunters who have seen it all–this beautiful guide is a perfect supplement to the #1 “New York Times “bestselling series.
This special edition of “The Shadowhunter’s Codex “comes in a beautiful slipcase with luxurious detailing that matches its historic importance. It’s as much a work of art as a training manual.
You can pre-order the special edition Codex for $30.32 from Barnes and Noble and Books-A-Million.
Or you can pre-order the regular edition of the Codex from Amazon ($12.23) and Books-A-Million ($13.98).

Wish we had known this before I ordered the regular version.
It might not be too late to cancel the order. Where did you pre-order it from?
Wish Amazon was having the special edition!
They most likely will. It’s just not up yet 🙂
Then I will have to get that
Do u know if the shadowhunter codex is gonna be sold like at walmart, i’m asking this because i want it as soon as its out and walmart is close to where I live.
The special edition !!!!!! I wish we could see what it looks like. I really would have liked the first pic they used with the blue color and the clasp on the side. That was beautiful and it seemed sort of shadowhunter-ish!!!
I wonder is the special edition will also be available overseas, in Europe, where I live.
Probably not, but the normal edition will also be fine if the content is exactly the same and the only difference is a slipcase.
