Looking for a good reason to give your eyes a break from your monitor? Then consider putting down the controller and picking up a book–specifically, check out the upcoming Frankenstein: MinaLima Edition[1]. Preorders are available at Amazon for $45, with a release date scheduled for October 28. The big draw here is the fact that this is a MinaLima Edition, which offers deluxe illustrations throughout the iconic novel, plus a variety of interactive elements. If you’re not a Frankenstein fan, several other stories[2] have been given the MinaLima treatment, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding something that catches your eye. But with Halloween just around the corner, Mary Shelley’s classic is a great option.
$45 | Releases October 28[3]
This hardcover volume features the original Frankenstein novel across 416 pages. Throughout the story, you’ll find full-color artwork to help bring its characters and settings to life. There are also seven interactive elements, like a foldout excerpt from Victor’s diary and an expanding map–making this more than a standard reprint. MinaLima Editions are held to remarkably high standards, making this every bit a display piece as it is a book.
