Alex Hirsch`s “The Book of Bill,” the first “Gravity Falls” novel aimed at adult readers, swiftly captivated fans upon its release last July. This unique illustrated narrative not only debuted at the top of The New York Times Best Seller list but also maintained its position throughout the holiday season. For “Gravity Falls” enthusiasts who haven`t yet delved into Bill Cipher`s self-narrated origin story, the hardcover edition is currently available for $16. It boasts an impressive 4.8/5-star average from over 4,700 customer ratings on Amazon.
For collectors and dedicated fans, an exciting alternative is on the horizon: an upcoming Limited Collector`s Edition. Scheduled for release on September 23, this special edition is available for preorder at $40. Given the immense popularity of the original release, it`s highly anticipated that this limited version may sell out quickly, either before or shortly after its launch. Amazon`s preorder price guarantee ensures that customers will receive the most favorable price offered between their order date and the book`s shipment.
The Book of Bill Limited Collector`s Edition (2025)
The Limited Collector`s Edition of “The Book of Bill” comes with several exclusive stylish enhancements for “Gravity Falls” aficionados. Most notably, the hardcover book is presented within a unique glow-in-the-dark slipcase, and its artwork is rendered in a distinct `Undead Green` color palette. In addition to the book itself, this special bundle includes a double-sided poster, a set of four postcards featuring appropriately bizarre illustrations, and a sticker sheet containing six peculiar stickers. It`s worth noting for those who already own the bestselling standard edition that the internal content of this 208-page book remains the same.
The Book of Bill (2024) – Standard Edition Overview
“The Book of Bill” offers a dark comedy narrated entirely from the sinister perspective of “Gravity Falls” antagonist, Bill Cipher. Across a series of illustrated stories and quirky asides, Bill recounts his origin story, shares his influences, offers his thoughts on his impact on humanity, and even provides a step-by-step guide to achieving world domination, among other insights. Much like other “Gravity Falls” publications, this book is filled with riddles, puzzles, and a generous dose of eccentric humor. While the cover art itself serves as a warning, it`s crucial to emphasize that both the illustrations and text within “The Book of Bill” are intended for mature “Gravity Falls” fans, not younger readers. Although “Gravity Falls” was a Disney animated series, it garnered significant crossover appeal among adult viewers. Therefore, it`s unsurprising that series creator Alex Hirsch penned a book specifically catering to the show`s older fanbase, many of whom are now adults with fond nostalgia for their childhood favorite.
Gravity Falls Complete Series & Companion Books
“Gravity Falls” cultivated a dedicated fanbase during its two-season run, thanks to its whimsical characters, charming animation style, and uniquely off-beat storylines. Physical editions of the complete series have been out of print for several years, with the Blu-ray version, in particular, commanding high prices on the reseller market. Fortunately, “Gravity Falls: The Complete Series” on DVD (the 2018 Collector`s Edition featuring all 40 episodes in widescreen format) is currently available for $50. When searching, be mindful that “Gravity Falls: Even Stranger,” priced at $20, contains only eight episodes from Season 1.
Following “The Book of Bill,” a second “Gravity Falls” book tailored for teens and adults was released in May: “Gravity Falls: Don’t Color This Book! It’s Cursed!” This 64-page coloring book is purported to be just as, if not more, `cursed` than “The Book of Bill” itself, and can be purchased for $12.
