Yeah, it's only been released in hardcover and as an e-book.

Personally, I would suggest trying the e-book or getting it from the library-- I found it to be worth reading once for the additional details and the insight it gave me into where people were getting their headcanons/fanfiction details from, but it was overall pretty underwhelming and didn't seem worth having around to read twice.

Reading large amounts of text on screen is a major migraine trigger for me so I can't do e-books. It's driving me nuts, because I've been a fan of Alan Dean Foster since the 80's and the Spellsinger series.

Also, I don't mind spending $12 on a novel, but if I do, it damn well better be a physical book.

Admittedly, I haven't sat down to read the whole thing -- I've only read the early parts with Poe for ~research -- but it was kind of disappointing having been written by ADF.

Sigh.

I totally get that about e-books, I can't read them at all.

I poked around a bit and it seems like you can get the paperback online from the UK.

Depends where you are. I have a paperback copy because it wasn't released in hardback in my country.

Was it an English language release, and if so, which country? I'd like to try to get one.

English language, Australia.
