I most certainly did NOT! If I had, I'd have included all the words. Founders of the world, indeed. ('Sides, he didn't ask me!)

But, tsuwm--did you click on the picture of the cover? Don't you think those people look a lot like you and me?

Anna, THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this!

Well, trade paperbacks usually go for $15 or more these days...and are released closed to, or in conjunction with, the hard cover edition.

I've never seen a trade paperback released together with the hard cover version, but what do I know.

Jackie, where'd you get this info? From the Great Man Behind the Curtain his own sef?

Could be the online booksellers have the info wrong and it is and always was a trade. As Whitman said, that's the going price for such.
