    $147 for 7 paperbacks? $21 per book? That is a ridiculous price.

    Most retailers will offer it for much less though. The sticker price for the Mr. Mercedes boxed set is $90 I think but most people here paid around $50 for it.

    I was thinking the same thing.

    They must have some beautiful, expensive packaging in mind.

    Why not make them hardcovers?

    Well it does say that they are trade paperbacks and not the smaller mass market paperbacks. Typical price for a trade paperback now is about 16 - 18$ I would say. It's still pricey but it's not that far off the mark really.


    Edit: I just looked up Wizard and Glass and it is listed as $19.99.

    Agreed. I was excited until I saw that it was paperback. I can't even begin to think how many copies of the series I've bought over the years in paperback. The last flight I was on, I picked up a copy of The Wastelands to read again on the plane. No complaints here - just would like to see a really awesome hardcover box set.

    Meh.


    Should at least include Little Sisters and Wind Through the Keyhole.


    Will have to be some industrial strength cardboard used in that slipcase.....

    It might. Right now it just says 4,720 pages. No mention of how many books are included.

    Well it does include WTTK but I still can't bring myself to shell out that much for paperbacks that are honestly nothing special.


    Spoiler:
    I'll probably end up getting them.

    Since the movie has been postponed, I guess that some of the books are too.
    eg : the art of the movie, maybe the paperback sets, ...?

    Interesting that 'Wind Through the Keyhole' is in between 4 and 5. Personally speaking even though it's chronologically 4.5 I think it's better to read after DT7 for the first time at least. I think the chronological reading order would make people some impatient given that it would be taking a detour to a flashback story that is mostly unrelated to the main series.

    As for the set... if they were to release a nice hardcover set perhaps with spines that when put together make up a large picture I'd be interested but this, not so much.
