Asked in WATERSTONES TODAY and the guy said they had 3 on order and they should be in Monday's delivery, I will go back and have a look at the slipcase cover.

That was what I wondered the first time I heard of them. :lol:

It's basically a book that slides into a sleeve in much the way VHS videos did. See here. :wink:

Also there are usually limited editions and become more expensive to buy from sellars.

I went to the Waterstones at Meadowhall and order myself a slipcase edition, I asked the manager and she said all stores will be getting a limited stock of them by Wednesday at the latest.

Is it just me being cynical, or does this smack of the publisher (and Terry to a degree) trying to screw as much money out of the poor reader as possible, by publishing every story in so many different formats that the true collector "has" to get them all?

Not me Bouncy, I'll stick with the one I've got.
