Very happy to see Brian's email this morning regarding the interior font size for Leviathan and to know that the LE will have the larger size. Most of the time, I don't have an issue with the font size of Lividian books, but there have been a recent few that felt like murder on my eyes. For example, I have the LE of Fracassi's A Child Alone with Strangers and keep moving it down my tbr pile due to how small the font seems and knowing it's going to be a struggle to get through because of it. Personally, I'd prefer to pay a bit more overall and have the slightly larger font for my LE purchases but I'm sure there are others who might balk at a price increase.

Same (though I had no issues with A CHILD ALONE WITH STRANGERS). Too small font, too-bright white paper, etc...ultimately, for those of us who do read their limited editions, it's all about the reading experience, and if it's not done right that experience is easily undermined. I picked up Midworld's BLACKTOP WASTELAND when it came out, and after struggling through the reading of that book with its tightly condensed and bold font -- oddest choices I've ever seen in a deluxe edition, and it very literally hurt/strained my eyes to read -- I had to sell it as the reading and collecting experience was awful and I knew there was zero chance I'd ever pick it up again. Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest impact.

It's refreshing to see Brian address this issue head on, and, pledge to keep doing so going forward. As Ron said above- most of us (I hope!) do read our expensive, nice books. Or, hope to anyway! It ain't all about cover art and slipcases. Glad to see the readability aspect implemented.

Same, very appreciative. Not sure I would've been able to snag a copy without that early access, given that it sold out in four minutes from public announcement.

Well, I missed out on this one. Guess I’ll keep an eye out on the aftermarket.

[Ben Staad]

My guess is you can track one down with another seller. Good luck to you.

Is the next Joe Hill book going live tomorrow for the public?

I'm sure Brian will chime in at some point, but yes, it should be announced publicly tomorrow.

I'm torn on this one. I love NOS4A2 and the whole ethos around the story, but I'm not a graphic novel guy. Not sure which way I'm going to go with this one.

I feel the exact same way. I don't do graphic novels or comics anymore, so a lot of the extras don't hold as much appeal to me. That being said, I have everything else that Hill has published book wise, and it would be nice to keep the Lividian Hill set complete. I'd also love to have the novella, and all that interior art looks amazing; so, much like yourself, I'm feeling a bit torn as to if I will purchase it or not. Really, a part of me is hoping for a quick sell-out to take the decision out of my hands!

Thanks for the reply. I'm excited to see what this one looks like.

I have, and love, the IDW version and so glad this will be part of the Lividian Hill set!
