NICHOLAS EAMES — KINGS OF THE WYLD — EXCLUSIVE HARDCOVER Apart from being a reprint, the second printing differs from the first printing as it has no limitation or numbered statement on the title page. It also doesn't have map end-papers which was an exclusive feature of the limited edition. The second printing can be considered the first trade edition as it is the first non-limited edition. For this printing, Nicholas signed Orbit bookplates and added a quote from the book. Most bookplates have the inscription: "BE KIND", a few bookplates have other inscriptions. As the original 8 character cards that came with the limited edition were so popular, 5 new ones were produced to accompany the second printing, again taken from drawings by Scott McCauley. Each card features a character or object from the novel: TIAMAX, KIT, TAINO, BLACKHEART (Clay Cooper's shield) and favourite of many, OWLBEAR.
