lauraanne_gilmanI note that BN.com no longer has the trade edition for sale, and Amazon.com is warning that it's becoming "hard to find" and is therefore no longer discounted.
Fear not, it's not going OOP...technically. But Luna's drying up the available trade stock in order to make way for the mass market edition coming in June 2006 (just three more months!).
So if you're the type who wants to keep all issues in the same format, order now! And if you've been waiting for the less expensive edition (waves to several folk Down Under), or as a obsessive completeist want to see what corrections were made in the reprint (there's at least two), pre-order now!
here endeth the PSA.
Personally? No author likes to see a book become unavailable. Even knowing that another format's out there (be it mass, or digital or audio or Some Technology Yet to Be Invented) doesn't take away from the sting. My first-born, to all intents and purposes, has ended its run. *sob*
It sucks. You move on. You pray for a movie tie-in to come down the pike some day.... (you listening, Hollywood?). You hope that eventually there will be enough interest in your work that it gets reprinted back in trade (or hardcover!), with someone semi-famous writing a hoity-pretentious foreword saying nice things about you, and that they don't wait until you're dead to do it. But it all still sucks.
Still. Was a nice run. *pats trade edition* Nice job, kid.
