More than the Hardcover?  Are you CRAZY???

I'd love to read Fall of Giants, but will ABSOLUTELY wait until the Kindle price falls.  How ridiculous to charge more on the Kindle version than the hardcover?  I'm all for supporting writers, but $19.99 is CRAZY!

Go directly to the PRS and spend the money on the hard cover if you can afford it.  There are several versions available from the place that Manly P. Hall founded in Los Angeles. Call their bookstore or go onlne. If you are serious about the knowledge or just a collector of important books... Get the original from the source and use this hardcover as a paperweight.

I'm sure its a great book, especially for the price. I'm hoping the receiver will like it as they are interested in the subject, but I'm sad to say that in the bent up condition, I'm a little embarrassed to give it as a gift. Moral of the story? Buy the hardcover version?

I ordered the hardcover book, but what I received was a large-print version. There was no indication on the website that hardcover was the same as large print. This has happened before, so watch out what you order.
I returned the book.

I think it's worth it to get the hardback, because there are two problems with the paperback.  First, the hardback illustrations are missing in the paperback, and they do change the way I see Ender's parents - Theresa is an entertainingly annoyed and angular grad student, and John Paul's insouciant arrogance and manga-like good looks make a fun contrast.
The other thing about the paperback is that unless I'm much mistaken, it's actually missing text - in story 1 someone is supposed to hit someone else, and it never happens in the paperback version (at least the one that came to Singapore).  The text doesn't show any blank paper, but the rest of the plot does refer back to it just like in the hardback version, so I think it's a glaring printers' error.

At $99.95, how many copies of this book will be sold today? The pricing on this book is insane.

5 stars for the book itself, but 1 star for people selling this book second hand for such an inflated price! Why is the Hardcover version of this book not being restocked by Amazon when every other Hardcover in the series is??

My rating is for the original hardcover. I bought the paperback based on the publisher's website indicating this version had a new introduction by Leonard Maltin and "additional material". Unfortunately, the "additional material" IS the introduction by Maltin. The rest of the contents are identical to the hardcover.

$44.00 for this book? Are you flippin' kidding me??? This arrived yesterday and I had to triple check my order history because I can't believe this was not at least $144.00. The content is incredible. Bought this primarily for the Sistine Chapel and this book goes well beyond the detail I was hoping for.

Lol just so everyone knows, its a book, I didn't order it, but it says its a paperback. You should read things before you order, maybe you won't be so disappointed.

I bought the hardcover version of this book and loved what I read (about 200 pages) but found it to be a wrist-strainer for me, who does most of his pretty expansive reading on trains and planes.  It is the reason I am now stalking the purchase of a Kindle--I own the book, and am even willing to pay a little extra for the digital version.  But come on Amazon, $31 on top of the $45 I've already paid?  It was enough to make me consider the option of free downloading, though I'd not actually do it.  But if anyone reads these, I think it might be wise for you to consider a DISCOUNTED download of the Kindle when you do buy the hardcover rather than just making this Kindle version so expensive.  It's not like it costs you appreciably more to digitize a long book as opposed to a short one, and I'm certain Mr. Vollmann is not getting a good deal more money for my EXTRA purchase.

So have a heart?

Please Ms. Butler!  I'm sure the publishers would jump at the chance.  How about a limited edition release?  People (like myself) are scavenging for any copy they can find,  paying upwards of a hundred bucks just to get a  worn out old copy of this book!

The hardcover version of this book is being listed under the product Becoming America: Volume Two's  formats but it does not appear to be the same book. This seems very, very unethical as its price is significantly lower than the ones that clearly seem to be the Volume 2 version. This could lead to students accidentally purchasing the wrong book.

I have found no way on this page to ask a question about this book- if it includes volume 1 and 2 or if it is just in the wrong place (or if it is in the wrong place on purpose, as a more cynical and experienced student might be led to believe).  Either this page needs to updated or it needs to be removed from the listings for Becoming America: Volume 2

If pricing by publishers for Kindle books continues to be the same as the hardcover book price. I also will wait and just get a hardcopy book from the Library.  I work in the Hightech Industry, and they/publishers/Authors are making outrageous margins since they have basically no costs versus a hard bound book.

I urge each and every one of you to spend the extra money on the hardcover version and not to waste your money on the paperback. Both contain hundreds of pictures, graphs, charts, doodles, etc.  However, the pages in the HARDCOVER version are rendered in beautiful glossy color; while, the PAPERBACK version (including all illustrations) is plain BORING black and white.  The difference is amazing.  There is simply no comparison. You will NOT enjoy the paperback! The hardcover pages are of the highest quality paper - so splurge or you'll be sorry.
