    Three payments of $44.
    RP1 is three payments of $33 for a book the same size (per Easton's specs on the order pages).

    Do you suppose the price differential is so they can pay Weir significantly more given the popularity of his book?
    Or is this a business decision by Easton to get a larger margin due to THE MARTIAN's popularity?
    Or do you think it's due to other factors, such as print run and related economy of scale factors?

    I haven't seen the books although I preordered both of them, maybe illustrator fee? It is not in description that it has any art inside...

    ...aaannnd if you want a UK limited (if one can call 2000 copies "limited"), you can order from Goldsboro here (note that it is NOT a Goldsboro exclusive, but rather a publisher's limited):

    There was a pre-sale last week for those who already had numbered/lettered editions, so I assume most of those folks renewed before the public sale opened.

    I have a Lettered copy of the Martian and took advantage of that preorder to get Artemis.

    If anyone comes across an early printing (doesn't have to be a 1st) of The Martian with a nice dust jacket with the $24 price, I'm in need of a dust jacket upgrade for a signed 1st. My book is in great condition, but somehow the dust jacket isn't.

    I noticed at B&N yesterday that some copies of Artemis have glossy dust jackets and some have matte finishes. I've noticed this over the years with a few other titles by different authors as well. Does anyone know if this a mistake or on purpose? If it is on purpose, what's the reasoning behind it?

    I must check that out. I know B&N also had or will have signed copies.
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    It could be that the publisher liked both finishes so released both. I’ve seen that with the jacket design before but not the finish.

    Or they could have multiple printers. (Or didn't print enough dust jackets and went back to press with a different or cheaper treatment).

    That too. Wonder if it’s the book club jacket. I don’t know what finish mine is but I’m pretty sure it has raised letters on the jacket. If the other finish is flat then the cheaper alternative makes sense.

    So has anyone else finished reading Artemis? No spoilers here....

    My only comment would be - was this book written by the same person who wrote The Martian? If Artemis had been his first book, I would never read another one by him again. The plot was OK, but the main character was annoying as hell. It seemed very juvenile to me.

    Maybe it will be a sophomore slump and his next book will be better.

    That is what I've heard on most of the reviews so I'm hesitant to start this book.
