KOD in paperback?

[torgo02]

Is there a date for the paperback version of KOD yet?

 

torgo

[Kadere]

some time in October or November I believe.

There is no listed date for paperback release shown on the TOR Publishing Schedule as of yet. But I suppose that doesn't necessarily rule out a release this fall.

are you guys for real, i bought my paperback versions in febuary.....

for lights sake, the cover has almost fallen off already.

[Kadere]

Yes we are totally for real. I don't know what's going on in Australia, but in the U.S. the paperback has not been released, and will most likely be out (or is set to be out) in October or November.

Plus, our paperbacks don't have covers.

[Kadere]

why don't our paperbacks have covers?

[rd2000]

All the ones I have seen have the artwork. I meant that our's don't have the slipover cover-protectors that the hardbooks have.

[Kadere]

oh, right.

[Inara]

of course paperbacks dont have the slip on covers that hard covers have, they are just cardboard.

 

well i suddenly understand whay all those people have been whinging about having to wait for the paperback version, although, please remember that i paid AU$35 for my paperback version...this is the average price over here

books are incredibly cheap in america, i would order all mine online except all the spelling is different.

but the KoD paperback released here in Australia is sill only the large version not the smaller, standard 'normal' sized book. I'm told that the smaller book generally comes out after about a year after the initial release. I was told that the release of the smaller copy was at the writer's discretion (though I've not had that confirmed by anyone).

well that is what we are waiting for...the little book version...not the bloody great hard/paperback...

yes.

but its still not a hardcover...a sort of in between

besides i like the larger, coloured maps better.

[bcxanth]

Those larger paperbacks are called Trade Paperbacks I believe.

[Kadere]

yes they are! And own the first edition trade paperbacks of both Eye of the World and The Great Hunt. WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now I just have to find them in hardback first edition.
