ellenkushnerThe Privilege of the Sword is coming out in a month (July 24, to be exact) in a nice little inexpensive pocket paperback "mass market/rack-size" edition.
I thought that the existing handsome trade paperback would then go out of print: when I called last month to order more copies (my poor basement!), they told me there were not that many left in the warehouse . . . **FLASH** But no! The trade paperback has just gone back to press again, says my editor, Anne Groell at Bantam Spectra. I'm gobsmacked. Good for me - and good for all of us! Having briefly stuck my head into the utterly charming miniature books exhibit at the Grolier Club, which anyone in or visiting NYC should check out before it goes, I am well aware of the advantages of the smaller, more portable volume. But larger is nice, too.
And there are still copies of the stunningly attractive limited edition hardcover from Small Beer Press. I signed a bunch for them recently, so if you want a signed copy, order from them directly and ask for one. (They will also have them for sale at Readercon, where I will not be owing to Semana Negra.) This is not only the prettiest cover in the universe, but the book itself is a treasure, the sort of thing they Just Don't Make Anymore: cloth cover (stamped in- ahem! - gold), sewn signatures . . . I'm not the expert - someone better versed in bookmaking can explain what all that is, and why it's Very Good.
Full disclosure: a few errors in the text of the first edition trade version stand uncorrected in the SBP edition & even in the trade reprint, as we did not catch them in time; they'll be fixed in future editions. The fully-corrected, clean version of the text is in the mass-market paperback now. But do not become unduly alarmed: the only significant fix is one scene (near the end) that went to press missing two lines; we're putting the corrected up under "Errata" on the new TPOTS webpage, which should be live next week.
**ANOTHER Flash!!** Swordspoint, too, is going back for another print run - but they're upping the price to what Anne refers to as " the new and improved price of $6.99/9.99 CAN" - the difference being that the Canadians had to pay $10.99 for the last one . . . Go, Loonies! (Of course this sudden act of generosity has nothing to do with the fact that Anne's husband, author Dave Keck, is himself Candadian....)
**Sorry no links for stuff above - do you care? I can put them in next week if so; today I'm at the ALA in Washington, and will be signing THE GOLDEN DREYDL at the Charlesbridge table from 1-2.

I imagine it would be beautiful...it would be so neat if someone did a copy that looked like a replica of the Book of the King's Wizard. *adds to list of Really Good Unfulfilled Ideas* X3
