There were extras laid in to all three books. By book, the extras are: 1. Eragon - two Eragon movie bookmarks from Summer 2006, and two temporary tattoos featuring the dragon on the cover of Eldest. 2. Eldest - sealed CD in cardboard cover. CD has a close up of the Eldest cover dragon on the front. From the back of the CD sleeve: "On this special LIMITED EDITION CD, author Christopher Paolini discusses his return to this incredible world and reads an early chapter excerpt." It also mentions on the front an "Author Q&A". 3. Brisingr - local bookstore bookmark advertising the release of Brisingr. Note this book was found at an estate sale of a former elementary school teacher who collected books, including many young adult novels. This was in Naperville, Illinois, home to Anderson's Bookshop. Anderson's had author Christopher Paolini in multiple times for book signings over the years, and I suspect these books were signed during one (or more likely multiple) of his stops in the area. Wonderful books in great condition that look spectacular on the shelf. Photos are of the actual books on offer. See the photos for additional insight into content and condition of these excellent fantasy dragon novels.
