The Confidential Advance Proof & Operator's Vault
250 hand-numbered copies. Strictly capped. Then the Vault closes.
Before The Vanity Machine reaches Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books, later this month, 250 readers will already have it in their hands: signed, hand-numbered, and shipped ahead of the public release. No more than 250 numbered advance copies will ever be produced.

Advance proofs (galleys) are the pre-publication edition publishers prepare before final printing. “Uncorrected” means final proofreading and typesetting corrections may not yet be reflected, so minor typographical and layout details may differ from the retail edition. Vault proofs are a numbered collector's edition sold directly by the author.
