GRAH, now I'm going to have to look for the paperback of SC to take a gander of what's new in it.
And the whole notion of sticking something "new" in the paperback just reeks of trying to pick up sales numbers -- like the people who bought the hardcover will now buy the paperback to get the new story? Sure, there will be people who do this, but...given the price of hardcovers versus paperbacks, and that the people who really, really want this stuff are probably going to buy the hardcover to get their fix rather than wait...
...isn't this just like shooting yourself in the foot?
But woo, way to pimp LKH. *golf clap*
I still maintain that she's selling her laurels, as it were.
