Maybe some Sliders for good measure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbereth Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 He should have stuck with calling it the 'Book of Endless Pages'. A much more appropriate name.I totally agree! I can't wait.If you mean Lift's variety of Awesomeness, then some bookstore workers are going to have some interesting glowy lights in their faces when they open the boxesHa! That would be sad, because they might be scared enough not to sell them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Oh god these books are glowy let's not sell them!""Was anyone actually hurt?" "..." "Let's just call them damaged and stick them in the Severe Discounts section."

GreyPilgrim Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 870 pages is Order of the Phoenix. 1088 pages is WoR. We may be less in number, but greater in spirit, and also have heavier blunt weapons for bludgeoning with. Also Order of the Phoenix has way fewer words for page. I remember it being something like 250,000 words or so. WoR should be over 400,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterAhlstrom Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Aminar: I'm not aware of any US hardcovers of WoK that don't have a glyph on the cover. What printing number is your book?

Natans Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Just a question who they did to put this book in that little airsick lowlander boxes ? They will ship the books in parts or something ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Rose Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Mine is the small edition and lacks the glyph. Does that give me an excuse to by the larger version for my reread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAhlstrom Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Sure. Yeah, the book club edition wouldn't have the blind stamp on the case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aminar Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Aminar: I'm not aware of any US hardcovers of WoK that don't have a glyph on the cover. What printing number is your book? Is it the large Tor edition or a small Book Club edition? Of note, this was purchased Used through Half.com. ISBN is 978-0-7653-2635-5. It has a gray cover. That's the best I can give you, I'm not seeing any other ID numbers in it.(I'm pretty sure it's a smaller hardcover. I can stretch my fingers from the top of the spine to the bottom. It has Tor's symbol on the side.Just noticed more numbers on the Dust Jacket. 9780765326355 is under the barcode and 1314410 is in the back bottom right corner.(by the binding) Well, off to buy the bigger version from Amazon... Wait, I did that earlier because they were super-cheap and it got my brother's Birthday present out of the way. Switching copies methinks.

askthepaperclip Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 It appears that my innocuous, but slightly off color comment was deleted... (If you watch The Office, it was one of Michael Scott's favorite jokes/catchphrases.) Did I break some forum rule? It certainly was not my intention, so can the mod who deleted it please let me know their reasoning so I don't offend anyone in the future? Pm is fine, although there are probably others on the forum who would benefit from such knowledge. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAhlstrom Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I flagged it. I think you don't need a sexual joke in the middle of a mundane thread. The mods could have felt differently but apparently they didn't. Aminar: On the copyright page of a normal book there will be a line of numbers that looks something like this: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. The lowest number is the printing number. However, if you have a gray cover, that is not the standard Tor edition and is probably the Book Club edition. The standard Tor edition has a blue cover. The Science Fiction Book Club prints their own hardcovers that are cheaper and lower quality than standard hardcovers. Aside from being smaller, there won't be a headband or tailband. The paper is also thinner. However, they are still labeled with the original publisher's symbol. Unless it is an SFBC exclusive omnibus edition or something like that; then it is likely to have horrible cover art and say "GuildAmerica" or the like at the bottom of the spine. I was an SFBC member as a teenager before I realized their quality sucks. Edited February 7, 2014 by PeterAhlstrom 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aminar Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks Peter. Like I said, I ordered the other one off of Amazon earlier today anyway. I'll just pass on the gray one to my brothers. I'll have to remember the book club thing in the future. Never knew there was a better quality copy out there.

Delightful Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Where exactly is there a glyph on the cover? I dont see one at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesomeness Summoned Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Where exactly is there a glyph on the cover? I dont see one at all. It's not an actual picture. It's an imprint on the hard cover underneath the dust jacket. Adimortis' post on page three of the thread has a picture of the cover with the dust jacket removed where you can just slightly see the engraving they are talking about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
