Have not thought about it that way. The (easier) affordability is for sure a good thing. Would a reissue as trade paperback work?
I'm not really a fan of trade paperbacks. They aren't much more durable than a mass market paperback, and if I choose to read them I'll end up with spine creases. (Yes, I know some people can read paperbacks without creasing the spine but I'm not one of those people. ) Plus, I already have a couple of the later Dresdens in hardcover, so I've got a small start to the collection.

Point. When I read hardcover they always get dirty - at least it makes them look used. I thought trade paperback have a spine similar to hardcover - one that is not glued to the bound pages, but seperate. Don't believe I had one in hand before.

Always easy when you got a start. If you don't, expensive to catch up.

I actually have the Dresden series in paperback, and I also have the e-books version. It's a little hard for me to read the paperback without ending up with spine creases (but it's manageable if I read it very carefully)... but now I just read the ebook version and keep the paperback as keepsake. A downside though, is that they tend to "age" overtime.

This. except that my book shelf is out of space already.

LOL. I know that feeling. Fortunately, I've already chosen some books to be demoted to storage in the attic in order to make room.

No, I spend my days reading ebooks! During my breaks I prowl a little on the web. Glad you enjoy what I stumble upon.

And in appearance news, we have Jim’s schedule for GenCon. As with all things convention-related, this is subject to change, but is as accurate as we can make it at the time of the posting. Check the convention schedule when you’re there to confirm!

THURSDAY:
  • 5pm – Writer’s Craft: Creating Story Arcs – Room 243
FRIDAY:
  • 10am - Media Tie-In: Story to Game – Room 245
  • 3pm-5pm – Signing in the Dealer’s Hall!

Because she knows you all are special to me...
My daughter (age 11) wanted me to share with you, my friends, that besides her other reading intrests, including those for school, that she has read 29 books of the Warriors [aka Warrior Cats] series, since Christmas. She is very proud of herself.

Army, huh?

My son will be, or at least wants to join ROTC (or JROTC) this year when he starts high school.
I know that the discipline and routine will be good for him, but I still can't help but freak out a little every time I think about it.
