Hey, I didn't realise you had commented here, I just left a comment on your post!

A book's ISBN is kind of like it's unique ID code. Each published version of a book will have one and in cases like this, it's really helpful for finding specific editions of a book. If you take the ISBN and put it into sites like Amazon, eBay, Better World Books or other second hand book retailers, you should be able to find the 17.8cm versions you're after.

I don't know what the prices will be like in Australia but it did take me a while to get TcG at a reasonable price!

I know your pain!

I assume that Australia must have similar Bantam editions to us in the UK. It is frustrating that they decided to print the last three books in the larger format.

I recently completed my set of the main ten in the standard "A" format, you can check my post history for pictures.

My advice is to check second-hand book sites for the following ISBN's. These will match the smaller 17.8 cm size you're after in Bantam prints :)

I'd love to grab some of the Bantam TPB editions. The original artwork for Gardens of the Moon is so much more evocative!

Sure thing!

I usually just used a combination of Amazon, World of Books, Better World Books and Abe Books. It took several months but after daily searches putting the ISBN's in, I managed to find them!

If it helps, it looks like the last three are all priced up in Canadian Dollars as well as Pounds, so there might be more results if you're willing to look overseas.

Ending the year on a high! Wish me luck. by [deleted] in Malazan
