Truth - disappointed. But will still buy it the moment it hits the shelves. The First print run will probably be 2 million or something.Laurisa White Reyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500840034913586508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961445666519156260.post-8575206670346773462012-07-05T00:25:32.077-05:002012-07-05T00:25:32.077-05:00The hardcover is definitely not 50 bucks, hehe :) ...The hardcover is definitely not 50 bucks, hehe :) It's 20 euros, so whatever that is in dollars (I'm guessing about 30).<br /><br />I guess this cover is due to the 'minimalist' craze that's going on. I bet it's trying to get in the vein of classic book covers--simple ones.<br /><br />I saw this on Mugglenet.com and immediately pulled up a blog draft and blogged about it! I was SO excited to see the cover. I imagined it would be some big war painting of rebellion and stuff, but I guess not.<br /><br />Great 'interview' though, hehe :)SC Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382410035007943921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961445666519156260.post-73189533795862395772012-07-04T08:41:38.384-05:002012-07-04T08:41:38.384-05:00Hmm...not knowing a summary of the book, this cove...Hmm...not knowing a summary of the book, this cover doesn't do much to tell me what the plot is. I'll definitely be curious enough to read the book anyway. Maybe the publisher was going for "as far from Harry Potter's interesting covers as possible."Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961445666519156260.post-75098141587686742762012-07-04T02:21:26.786-05:002012-07-04T02:21:26.786-05:00I looked the book up and it appears it will only c...I looked the book up and it appears it will only cost 35 American for a hardcover.

And, as for the price, buying books all the time, I know how extremely expensive they are, whether written by J.K.

To me, the pricing suggests that the publisher doesn't have much faith in the book -- they seem to be expecting copies to sell to existing fans who are curious, rather than on its own merit. That's just the gut feeling I get from both all of the media attention and pricing and whatnot.tlbodinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334888426768433724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961445666519156260.post-52365228655171617412012-07-03T19:36:31.163-05:002012-07-03T19:36:31.163-05:00I'll read the book but I HATE the cover.
