So you know how sometimes Amazon gets a wrong piece of information into its book database? The wrong format, or release date, or cover copy, or whatever.

That didn't happen here.

With Fate Conspire really is going to be a hardcover.

It's kind of awesome to get that news right after I posted about the celebration of my five-year anniversary of Realio Trulio Being a Novelist. :-) And it prodded me to stop waffling over the lovely, lovely icons you guys made for me and finally pick one, with victory going at last to airo25. (This was a hard decision, y'all. So props to everybody else who made me an icon, too.) airo25, e-mail me your address at marie [dot] brennan [at] gmail [dot] com, and I'll make a note to send you an ARC of Fate when they come in.

My first hardcover. Maybe I can use that to stave off the tedium of the page proofs, which arrived yesterday. :-) Whee!!!!!

YES! I've found since I've become an ebook fiend that hardcovers mean more to me than they used to.

Interesting! I hadn't thought of that kind of pattern, but now that you mention it, it makes sense.

Yeah, basically if I'm buying a physical book, its because I'm putting extra value on possessing that physical artifact.

(All the better to get your autograph, ya know. And this one has a special place in my heart. :))

Hardcover is what makes sense if the physical artifact matters.
