| AM_Ziebruh Oct 26 | Collecting has always been a part of the book buying practice. People love showing love for the things that they love. It's just how humans work. I know I have been sucked in a time or two into buying signed copies of books I've already read or looking at getting special edition hard covers for some of my favorite series. However, I think there is a new trend among specifically the Fantasy and Fantasy Romance publishers that has me worried for the future. Bonus content has always been a part of the writing and publishing process. Fans love to see little short stories and in-depth looks into other characters from the books they read. A lot of times this content would be posted to an author's website, released as a digital download, or collected into an anthology for publication. However, recently we are seeing something completely different that gives me flashbacks to comic book publishing practices: different versions of the same book each with different bonus chapters. Has publishing gone too far in this respect? | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
