Michael asked Isaac Marion:

I see that The Burning World is being listed for a hardcover edition. Any plans to come out with a hardcover edition of the New Hunger?

Isaac Marion I don't know actually, but my guess it that the only way that would happen is if there is a hardcover box set of the whole series. The New Hunger is a novella and hardcovers are expensive, so there wouldn't be many people willing to pay hardcover prices for such a short book.

But oh...oh the dream of a box set...*stares wistfully into the clouds* To have them all together, back to back, with a unified look, no movie tie-ins, no wild graphical shifts from book to book, all in a sturdy case that lets me pick them all up and feel the weight and say "THIS. This is my story. This is 8 years of my life and all the joy and fear and wonder I wrung out of me in those 8 years, all compressed down into this tiny brick of infinite emotional density."

Tears will be shed if this ever happens.
