	:Oh - thanks for the info! Everything I could find said that the revised {{UA}} version was only for the Corgi paperback. (And the audiobook, as I discovered but didn’t add because the site is too slow to respond, as you say.) I’ll revise. -- [[User:Guybrush\|Guybrush]] ([[User talk:Guybrush\|talk]]) 10:42, 9 February 2026 (UTC)		:Oh - thanks for the info!

			My mistake. The hardcover is in the infobox; first in the gallery was put up by Jagra and it's different. [[User:Old Dickens\|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens\|talk]]) 22:34, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

	Oh, bad luck.. Are the prices you quote in US or Canadian $ reconverted to £? I ask because the cover price at Borders in Stockport was £17.99, with a footnote in smaller letters to say in Canada the RRP is $36.95. Although I did get a money-off deal that knocked what I paid down to £14.99. My copy of ''Nation'' was £16.99 on the cover, but the same discount got it for £13.99. (The advantage of a late-August birthday is that you get book tokens, which may be saved up for an occassion like this happening not long afterwards)--[[User:AgProv\|AgProv]] 22:32, 6 September 2008 (UTC)		Oh, bad luck..

	Thinking about it, what if we ask for a moratorium on anyone making Wiki entries on "Nation" or "Folklore" until the end of October, to give everyone who's interested a chance to buy and read the book? Feels a bit unfair (otherwise - and for the next six or seven weeks or so, people in your position are being bombarded with spoilers for a book they haven't read yet, with every tempatation to read them.... thinking about it, if the circumstances were reversed I'd be frustrated as Hell!
