Got an email saying they finished shipping the Artist editions and now theyre doing to Deluxe. They are about 2 weeks behind in processing new orders which explains me not getting billed yet(although its been more than two weeks). I am hoping they don't wait until the Deluxe are all shipped first though since that will take a while.

Right, Wrong, what's the difference? Does it make it any less collectible? They did that on The Drawing of the Three also. Just PM me, Brad, and I'll give your copy of TWTTK a good home!"I'm a vegan. "

It's actually one of my favorite things about Grant's books. You can pick up their old books and see what else they had available at the time (and at what prices*). And while trade publishers might not do it now, they certainly used to do it. I have seen older books that had an entire brochure printed on the reverse of the dust jacket.
People think it's tacky that the Green Monster at Fenway Park has (rather tasteful) advertisements on it, and aren't aware that it isn't a new phenomenon:

* Actually, many of Grant's books are still available on their website, at their original prices.

But look at the innards of your e-reader and you will find the inscriptions "North Central Positronics, LLC" and "Sombra Corp." Every e-book you buy or read makes Roland's journey a little longer...."I'm a vegan. "

I use the e-readers to read my books. I'm not above buying the books in both forms though, I've bought all my Terry Brooks Stuff in both formats as well as The Dark Tower Series, and I'm sure I'll do the same with The Wheel of Time when I re-read that before the last book comes out. The is just so easy to pull out my phone and read the next chapter of a book when I have a few spare mine, without having to worry about carrying a monster book with me everywhere I go.CD Email: [email protected]
