Please add the Signed Edition of Kin by Tayari Jones. As far as I can tell, it has the same information as the first edition hardcover; however, it has a separate ISBN.

– Title: Kin (Signed Edition)
– Author: Tayari Jones
– ISBN: 9798217208906
– Publisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
– Publication Date: February 24, 2026
– Page Count: 368
– Format: Hardcover
– Description: Vernice and Annie, two motherless daughters raised in Honeysuckle, Louisiana, have been best friends and neighbors since earliest childhood but are fated to live starkly different lives. Raised by a fierce aunt determined to give her a stable home in the wake of her mother’s death, Vernice leaves Honeysuckle at eighteen for Spelman College, where she joins a sisterhood of powerfully connected Black women and discovers a world of affluence, manners, aspiration, and inequality. Annie, abandoned by her mother as a child and fixated on the idea of finding her and filling the bottomless hole left by her absence, sets off on a journey that will take her into a world of peril and adversity, as well as love and adventure, culminating in a battle for her life.

A novel about mothers and daughters, friendship and sisterhood, and the complexities of being a woman in the American South, Kin is an exuberant, emotionally rich, unforgettable work from one of the brightest and most irresistible voices in contemporary fiction.

- Links: I know you prefer links from either Amazon or the publisher; however, it appears that the signed first edition copies of the book were a limited run, and consequently, there are no more for sale. I have found several listings showing the ISBN on the back of the book (e.g., https://www.ebay.com/itm/366380232663), and I was able to find the edition by using an ISBN searcher.

I can provide photographs of any parts of the book you need. Thank you in advance!

Hi, Ebay is not an acceptable source. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library, Worldcat or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).

Here are photos of the front and back cover, as well as the publication info. I am unsure why the ISBN on the back cover is different than the number on the copyright page.
