Interestingly, my first printing non-review copy (pictured left) and my review copy (pictured right) are bound differently. The review copy is also slight thinner than the 1st printing trade. Perhaps Findegil might know something about this?
Some (relatively) recent acquisitions here. I've been pretty busy over the last 5 months (moved house and started a new job) so just getting back into updating things here. Hope y'all enjoy!
