Recently Emily and I have teamed up to give our First Editions Club Members a new opportunity and I’d like to tell you a little bit about it.

On February 18th, the grandson of Ludwig Bemelmans, author of the Madeline series, was here at Lemuria signing his new book, Madeline at the White House. With this signing we are kicking off a new chapter for the First Editions Club. As we get this program off the ground, approximately every other month we will inform you of our new Oz (our children’s store) First Editions Club pick which you will have the option of receiving with your monthly first edition.

These books will be chosen much in the same way the first editions you receive now are: the author will sign first editions of his or her book in our store, and we will only choose books that we feel will have value not only to families, but also t0 the serious collector. Because of this consideration, a selection may not be available every month.

In the last few years we have really begun to host bigger and more acclaimed children’s book authors. Last year alone we had Sharon Draper here, five-time winner of the Coretta Scot King Literary Award, National Book Award Winner M.T. Anderson, and Kathryn Erskine with her new book Mockingbird which won the 2010 National Book Award.

The Emerald Atlas is an Oz First Edition Pick for this spring. Written in the tradition of Narnia and Harry Potter, Emerald Atlas is already one of the most talked about books in industry circles this year.

We are really excited about being able to offer this as an addition to current First Edition Club members.  We would also like to extend the offer to anyone out there that is interested in joining the Oz First Editions Club exclusively.

If you have an interest in or any questions about the regular First Editions Club 0r the Oz First Editions Club please feel free to either call or e-mail Zita or Emily. You can also sign up through our website.
