FYI: The UK paperback edition of NEVER DREAM OF DYING is now shipping from Amazon.co.uk. Below is a pic of the cover art.

In the U.S. the LARGE PRINT edition is shipping very soon -- it's full price on Amazon.com but discounted 20% on BN.com. I'll post a cover pic when I get it.

I used to use Amazon too, but they started charging a lot for postage - and once or twice my next day order turned up 3 or 4 days late. Not very impressive...

I apologize, you should all be able to "link" (is that not what they say?) to it from here.

It worked at the other site when I did it.

I am sure it is my fault, I have not got a clue about computers.

Again I apologize, things hardly ever go right for me.

Just got my NDOD paperback and it strikes me that the much maligned (even by me) "math book" cover art is much better suited to the paperback. Lined up with the other books, it doesn't look half bad.

Oh well... Not that it realy matters as the hardback has been out for yonks.

But I think I'll be sticking with them for future releases as the P&P is only

I am sure there is an even more appropriate thread I could have posted this on and I apologize if someone has already linked you to this.

Also, please could someone direct Jim to it. (incase he does not click on to this thread) I think it is something he would be interested in.

To Blue Eyes,

Thanks. I haven't looked at this thread for a while, that is why I didn't see your message.

Hi Tynan, if you're trying to link the article remove the brackets ( ) because they confused Ultraboard

Nice bit of artwork Trevelyan.

[Icephoenix]

I dont like the cover of NDOD to much, they didn't put to much effort into it.

[scaramanga]

This is probably the only time one of the U.S. covers has been better than the U.K. cover. Doubleshot was a fantastic piece of artwork, whereas NDOD was such a letdown. Hopefully, they'll try better for TMWTRT.

Shame there. In my head the knife looks a little redder, but it may just be the different scans I've seen.

You're right. The knife is much redder. The color on the scan is accurate. The spine, back, and d/j flaps are also quite different from the standard edition.

I can only answer one question in there. A Large Print edition is an edition with large print It's for the visually impared so they can read the book as it doesn't have a small font. It's usually a fair bit larger.

I didn't think is was that obvious. I assumed a more technical answer.

[Blofeld's Cat]

BTW guys, what's with large print editions, anyway?

Why are they usually released before standard paperbacks?

I heard they are called "trade paperbacks". Is that true?

[Blue Eyes]

It's a shame when they don't make use of the covers properly. There's such a big opportunity missed and it's upsetting.

Blue Eyes (05 Dec, 2001 02:27 a.m.):
There's not much of a cover difference is there Zencat between that and the US standard edition?

No, there sure isn't. Too bad. I like it when the large print editions do their own cover art.

[Blue Eyes]

That's such an eerie knife. There's not much of a cover difference is there Zencat between that and the US standard edition?

[zencat]

Finally got the large print edition (below).

I use Amazon all the time, they've never let me down yet. Same with BOL.com.
