Looks identical to the UK edition I received from Amazon.UK. Isn't that typical, as I recall, Aussy editions are just imported UK editions, no?

Yeah, Australia gets UK editions, generally (although often printed locally). What surprised me about this edition is the purple cover - I didn't realize WH Smith did purple trade paperbacks in the UK, or that Australia got them (no WH Smith there).
The "standard" edition in Australia is the blue-ish UK cover in trade paperback. First time I've seen a purple cover.

I can't really speak to that. I hate PB's, won't buy 'em, won't collect 'em!! lol lol It's a long story. lol
FWIW, I generally get the W.H. Smith editions and they are usually of a purple theme. They;re sort of a "WTF" purchase cause I have a near complete U.K. collection as well as U.S. Anyway they're nothing really special about them, IMHO
There doesn't seem to be anyplace to discuss the book itself unless I'm missing it. I'm assuming most here have had a chance to read it by now. Interested in how it is being received. Maybe there should be a drinking game for each time TCM and AA is mentioned?
A Special Edition has been announced:

Was going to post about it :)
I asked my contact if they happen to have pictures of the final book with the slipcase
Curious to see what they would be like, but the endpapers look stunning !
There will only be 2000 copies of this special edition

I’m reading FT now and have a question for anyone who’s finished it: how much does he give away about Something Wicked This Way Comes? I’m 180 pages into FT and he’s already mentioned a few things about it, and since I’ve never read SWTWC but plan to this year, I want to avoid knowing the whole thing going in.
Not much, really.
Thanks!
