Most retailers will only carry this edition, in a smaller and lighter 5.5×8.25 size printed on a soft cream paper. Amazon is the only store carrying both this and the older edition.

MORE INFORMATION

Why this new edition? Most retailers, as well as libraries, won’t purchase books distributed by Amazon. This new edition fixes the issue, and makes the series available through many retailers around the globe.

Be a real badass and support your local indie bookstore by asking them directly to order the book for you! Or ask your librarian to make the series available. They can’t know about every book out there, so don’t hesitate to let them know.

Lastly, for those who prefer ordering online, it may takes weeks/months for online retailers to start showing this book on their website. Be patient or buy it from retailers who are already offering it, such as Barnes & Noble and Blackwell’s—who like the ill-fated Book Depository, delivers in over sixty countries for a fee. Check the universal link below each to find which store carries the paperback version. US readers, you’re in luck: B&N offers free shipping!

If you are one of the 4 possessors of the early International Edition printed on light eggshell groundwood paper and are dissatisfied with it, contact Zelda with proof of purchase to request a new version.
