When your novels are published as paperback originals, as mine have been, seeing them in a hardcover is a bittersweet experience. In a way, it’s like getting a tangible glimpse of the Road Not Taken or the Ghost of Novels Yet To Come. (At least possibly.)

For me, it’s mostly a fun way to add a new book to my bookshelf, right next to the paperback version that most everyone owns.

As soon as Invasive Species was sold to the book clubs, I knew I’d be getting some hardcover mementos, and this week the package arrived. If you’d like one of your own, check out The Book of the Month Club, The Scientific American Book Club, The History Book Club, among others.

And don’t forget: If you’d like a signed bookplate to adorn your copy (hardcover or paperback) just let me know through this blog or my website, http://www.josephwallace.com/, and I’ll send it right off to you.
