We have a very limited number of sets of our Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn. As we are aware of the popularity of this edition and these are our very final sets available, we have decided that the fairest way to allocate these copies for purchase is via a lottery.
Anyone who has not previously purchased a Bridgerton set from us (either in the first or second printings or at Apollycon) was eligible to sign up for the lottery and you do not need to be an Illumicrate or Afterlight subscriber.
The Bridgerton lottery form closed on the 28th of June 2024, no further entries will be accepted and this set is no longer available for public purchase. To select winners, we will randomise the list and offer invitations to purchase in batches until we have sold out. When we have sold out, everyone who joined the lottery will be notified.
I've won the Bridgerton lottery, now what?
Bridgerton lottery winners will only be able to purchase one set from the three following classifications: standard set, B-grade set, or C-grade set. If a customer purchases more than one set type, we will cancel and refund any duplicate orders.
What are the differences between these classifications?
Standard sets will be available to purchase for lottery winners for £120 plus shipping and VAT if applicable. These sets are made up of the remaining good stock.
B-grade sets will be available to purchase for lottery winners for £96 plus shipping and VAT if applicable. Some books in these sets will include misaligned foiling on the spine, light fading or small gaps on the foiling, or small marks on the front or small bends on the corners of the book.
C-grade sets will be available to purchase for lottery winners for £90 plus shipping and VAT if applicable. Some books in these sets will include the same defects as B-grade and some books will include folding or indents on the spine, dirty marks on the back of the book, or lighter marks on the front of the book.
