Gosh, I haven’t even fulfilled my January wishlist and here I am with another one. So, any bookworm would know that you can get different versions of a book. For Harry Potter (book 5 onward), I was adamant to get the first edition hardcovers. I figured they would be collector’s items (so much) later on.
Other books I don’t really care, usually I just get the mass market paperback, or whatever’s cheapest. #emakirit
Different versions usually have different artwork in the covers. So this might be another point to influence your decision. Like I said, I usually don’t care. Except this one. I’ve just finished reading Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson. Griss put me up to this and I don’t regret it. The series is definitely one of the most well-thought, well-planned, and detailed series I’ve ever come upon. It’s epic. And I loooooveee the main characters Vin and Elend Venture. They’re so human, so real (as real as a fantasy character can get). I found myself relating to them often. By the way, all of the characters in this series are well developed. Sazed, Spook, Breeze, Kelsier (don’t get me started on Kelsier), TenSoon… I love them all! Even the Lord Ruler himself. Anyhow, that’s why if I’m ever gonna get a print of this series, I probably go for the mass market paperback edition. Because of this cover of The Hero of The Ages:
I love the artwork. And since it depicts my two favorite characters, I can’t say no to this. Obvoiusly, I’m gonna get the whole series plus the novella, Alloy of Law. #nabungdulu
