Quote from: Stitch on Feb 03, 2021, 11:12:23 AMI'm in UK and I bought the Cold Forge expecting it to be the same size as all the others. It wasn't, it was the smaller size, so it doesn't fit on the shelf as tidily. It was just listed as Mass Market Paperback.

That's interesting. I received different sizes with the 2014 books (I got a bigger Sea of Sorrows, but luckily Hicks sorted me a smaller copy to match the other two ;D) but since then I've never seen the smaller size. I've ordered every Titan EU novel since without checking any specifics and they've all been the larger type when they've arrived, plus any time I've come across them in a book shop it's been the bigger size too.

As I already mentioned, the movie novelisations are the exceptions, plus the prequels Covenant - Origins and, now that I think about it, Hunters and Hunted, which are all in the same smaller size.

Since the 2014 trilogy (Out of the Shadows, Sea of Sorrows and River of Pain), which came in both sizes, I've only seen Titan's books in the larger paperback size, with the exception of the film novelisations (and Covenant - Origins).

(That's in the UK.)

Yesterday I bought this book through Amazon (I'm from Spain, so I can't buy Alien books in physical stores) in the only format that appeared (mass-market paperback), so I assumed that it only existed in that format. But today I wondered if there exists also the other softcover edition, as I previously bought Aliens: Bug Hunt and Aliens: Phalanx and these are the "larger" paperback format (if you want know size: 13.06 x 20.24 cm, approx.).

I have a doubt about the physical formats of this book. Is there a single paperback edition or are there both the smaller "mass-market paperback" edition and the standard "paperback" edition?

Here in the States I've only ever seen the mass market paperback in book stores.

Everything in that book that isn't retelling of game events is great

Finally reading this over the New Years break. Enjoying it. Whilst I have only played the game fleetingly (because I'm too chicken sh*t to play it completely) I do recognise key sequences from the game within the book.

What I do enjoy is that we get to see a bit of (Ellen) Ripley's backstory prior to the Nostromo. It never dawned on me how heartbreaking Amanda's own story is too.

Yes, which I just explained.

I feel like you're using this as an excuse to nope out of the conversation because you realised you missed the point and this is easier than acknowledging it. I can't say I'm sad to see the conversation end. Stay safe.

Welcome to AvP Galaxy :laugh:

You mean the conversation where you conveniently skip 98% of my statement?

That's your notion of a  conversation?
