cila Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 It seems I initially put this thread in the wrong section. Apologies! --- Hello all, I was interested in purchasing a set of the books in hardcover to go alongside my Harper Voyager paperbacks, however, I'm a bit hesitant with regard to the quality of these. http://www.amazon.ca...=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB Specifically, I'd like to know if the bindings are sewn or simply glued. Thanks in advance! -edit. Corrected the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cila Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hmm. Bought a copy of ADoD earlier in the evening. While in the store I was fairly certain the binding was glued but since I've yet to read the book, I got it anyway. I uploaded a picture for reference: http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/4125/img3813e.jpg I'm unable to see any stitches between pages for that matter. What I typically look for, signature-wise: http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2658/img3822vu.jpg Any input? Are the rest of the reissues like this?

kkemikk Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I have full set and books 1-3 are definitely sewn. Feast and Dance looks like glued only though. game: http://www.shrani.si/f/19/NI/KrLD4Eq/game.jpg clash: http://www.shrani.si/f/1d/nb/4LVcS9O5/clash.jpg storm: http://www.shrani.si/f/41/11F/3JL1OVYo/storm.jpg feast and dance: http://www.shrani.si/f/Q/Ys/222LQ50o/feast-dance.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cila Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Thank you very much for the pictures! I appreciate it.Odd of them to switch to glue-only bindings for the later two books.I'm quite picky about having a proper "matching set" and this sort of ruins my plans.I suppose I'll have to wait and see if the Barnes & Noble version is any good and if the later books will be released in the same style for that matter.
