I always find this interesting too since (now I am assuming this is a self published work) POD books tend to have standard sizes so it's always weird to me when they come out different

It's not self-published, as far as I can tell. The only indication (for me in my limited experience) is a copyright to CreateSpace.

Very cool adds! Nice inscriptions by the author, too!

So now I have two sets of The Northern Star trilogy. But I noticed something interesting about them. Okay, not really interesting, but noteworthy. Fine, it's NOT noteworthy, but it is unusual in my experience. Here is the set that I acquired individually:

Notice that the middle volume is larger than the other two (which are of differing heights themselves). Now here's the set I got from the

All the same height. Hmmm. Oh well. It's a conversation piece for basically boring people like myself.

But this is a great series and it is one of my favorite finds on GR.

Finally, I received a trilogy I discovered on GoodReads. The first book was a GR giveaway win. The second and third books were given to me in PDF format by the author, but I have a l....just a hate/hate relationship with ebooks, so I bought them.

Actually, theres aren't the books I bought. I liked the series so much that I asked the author for a PO Box to send my copies to for him to sign; but the author just sent me three signed copies. I was one of the first to review The Northern Star: The Beginning (who wasn't a friend or family member) and the author said that gave him the moral support to finish telling the tale.

Cool!

Another great cover from Vincent Chong (his Picking the Bones cover is still my favorite CD cover).

And a stop at B&N yielded this:

I haven't read To Kill a Mockingbird yet, but it's on my TBR.
