Yes Yes Yes!!!
I’ve bought Sigler’s books and others in hard back. I would love to have yours as well!
I would love to make you as successful as possible for all the joy you have brought me over the years.
In my opinion it’s long over due.

Dunno what the price will be – we’re just floating this up as a possibility at the moment and haven’t run the numbers. I could be way off.

And NO DYING!!

There’s been way too much of that already this year. :\

Comment from Richard Green aka Mainframe
Time: January 24, 2010, 11:09 am

I’d like to buy a copy. It will depend on when it’s available for order as to whether I could afford it, but I’m sure there is more than enough demand for a hundred copies – probably enough for 200-300.

Comment from Sara Nash

I’d be in for two, one for me, one for my dad. I just started listening to Quarter Share. I enjoy podiobooks while I’m running, but I still love having a print copy. I tend to get distracted and miss things while listening. (Not a reflection on the story, just a brain that won’t stop.)

Comment from Chess Griffin
Time: January 25, 2010, 3:24 pm

It would be really cool if the hardcover included some “extras” from this website at the back, like the Spacer’s Handbook, the Dunsany Roads Sector maps, maybe a chart of the Lois, or perhaps some other goodies like that Nathan might have. Might be neat to have some of those extra bits — perhaps further entice sales of the hardcover?

Just floatin’ a balloon, is all I’m sayin’.

Comment from Jason Pitre
Time: January 26, 2010, 6:41 am

Yes, however it would partially depend on a guarantee that you will release the hardcover signed editions of all of the books in the series. I am a series man and am driven mad by having a mix of hardcovers and softcovers for a given series.

Comment from Jack H

I think there’ll be some – the only question is what number at this point.

I’m counting about a hundred just on this one thread so probably at least twice that to allow for actually promoting it and such

Sign me up! I enjoyed Ravenwood so much I am now re-visiting the Share novels in reverse order (just finished Captain’s Share on the way in to work this morning). If I can pace myself perhaps I can finish with the hardback copy of Quarter Share… and, to dream the dream, move on to Owner’s Share?

Comment from Gary Owen
Time: January 29, 2010, 5:44 am

I’ll have one if there are any left. This is comment 90 but with some above me wanting two or three copies I believe the 100 mark has been passed.

Comment from Nate
Time: January 29, 2010, 7:08 am

Yeah. I think we’re looking at something closer to 200-250 at this point.

Thanks to everybody who’s chimed in here.

Comment from Ben
Time: January 29, 2010, 2:04 pm

With Nate chiming in that the limited run might be closer to 200 posting my willingness to buy one seems unnecessary… But I’m excited enough about a hard cover that I’ll chime in anyway Although with as much lending as I intended to do I might just have to get two!

I’d buy the series in a minute for myself. It would be a stretch, but I’d love to buy the set for each of my four son’s families (10 grandkids and counting). I put the quality of your stories with the Narnia tales that I’ve already bought for them.

Keep on doing the fantastic job that you do.

If I get re-employed before they come out I’d definitely buy a collector’s edition but as it is I’m also holding back on new podiobook donations till I get a job (I’ve donated for your older podiobooks but not yet for Ravenwood though it is certainly deserving).

Time: February 8, 2010, 4:26 pm

I am more interested in the Special Edition, regardless of price than the paperback.
As a side note, I discovered podiobooks about 2 years ago, but for some reasons always skipped your share series (shorter that GAOTSC). I picked up quarter share 5 days ago and will be done with Captain Share today. If it seems like nothing, I will add that I have a full time job, a pregnant wife and 4 children. The scene at chez Henri is a masterful piece of writing that had me grinning in public to the dismay of the young lady sitting across from me. You are an exceptional writer and you’ve made my pantheon of masters. More! please? …Sir!

Comment from Bruce
Time: February 9, 2010, 3:54 pm

I’ll take one. And I’m hoping my wife isn’t watching the blog for a while so I could give it to her as a surprise!

Just to help you plan – my default would be one, but if you went with a much larger order and got stuck with some extras you couldn’t sell, I’d be willing to pitch in and purchase 1-2 more – could definitely find people for whom to give as gifts.

My personal take is that of your podcast audience who wants a book, a very high percentage would be interested in the collector’s edition unless they’re just really strapped for cash. After all, we’ve got you on audio so we don’t “need” the book – we just want to have something tangible to look great on our bookshelves and coffee tables. And so we really want the nice version.

Comment from George

A signed copy of one of the great science fiction writers of our time. Heck yea I want a signed copy.

Comment from Stephen K
Time: February 11, 2010, 7:53 pm

I’d also be looking at these as gifts as well. With podcast novels I’ll usually grab 1 for me and then 3 or 4 more (Hardbacks always) as gifts for my good friends. It allows me to support the work of great folks like yourself and also hook more people into podcast fiction

Comment from A. Gibb
Time: March 2, 2010, 8:46 am

Nathan: I am a huge fan of all books except for the second entry. At the moment, I hesitate to recommend the series to friends, because of the weakness of that one book. I urge you to rethink that one in concept and tone before it goes into actual print—it would be a shame to diminish the caliber of an otherwise amazing series. Wonderful job on narration, by the way. Thanks for all the hard work; looking forward to “Owner’s Share”. —A. Gibb

Comment from B. H. Giza
Time: March 2, 2010, 10:56 pm

I’d buy the special edition at the price you mention. Let me know if it comes to be. One of my favorite series in over 20 years, and the narration was top-notch. I will enjoy having the print version as well…and the authograph would be icing on the cake. Please keep the Wang series growing. best wishes, B. H. Giza

Based on this tremendous response Ridan will be doing hardback versions…but we won’t be offering them through standard retail chains (the “retail” cut would drive the price up too high so we will only sell these editions “direct” for now.) This will allow us to keep the prices reasonable and put the most money in Nathan’s pocket . We are trying to judge quantities so if you would please send me an email to: sparker.ridan@gmail.com it will help me do some calculations for the print run.

Yes, please – add me to the list of those very much desiring a hard cover edition! As others have noted, likely 100 copies will not be sufficient. (I’ve e’mailed Ms parker to add me to the list.

I’m waiting in happy – if impatient – anticipation for Owner’s Share! and sincerely hope you will continue the series beyond it.

Actually, have you given any thought to returning to earlier works and adding to them (as separate books)? For example, having just finished Captain’s Share, I would so love to be continuing the trip to Break-All to find out how the new knife-wielding “hard case” crew member works out [Captain's Share] and what other ‘stuff’ happens along the way there & elsewhere!!! Also, there would appear to be a wealth of possibilities in exploring the 10 “stan years” Ishmael spent aboard the William Tinker — say dropping in on the 2nd, 4th, 6th & 8th years. It would seem to be a way of providing opportunities to, occasionally, interact with Pip, Brill & a few memorable others … to bring them back into the mix & see how they are fairing?? Perhaps as simple as overlapping at the same orbital or one of them encountering a need or problem that requires help from the one or more of the others??

Nathan, you books have given me many hours of pleasure. My sincere hope that you will have a long, long writing career. Good health and safe voyage as you do so.

How embarrassing … spelling and grammatical errors in a comment directed to an *author*.

Put it down to unchecked enthusiasm, LOL.

Thanks.

I’ve left room in the story lines – I just don’t know how they’ll be woven in, or when.

Yes – please (to the signed hardcover). Like many others here, I’d sign up to buy signed, hardcopies of all of the ‘Wang” series….Congratulations on the contract….

I also wanted to have the stories filled in, and then I tried South Coast and now I am willing to just see where Nate wants to take us! While I wouldn’t mind revisiting those times, I am looking forward to new characters also. Thanks Nate.

I am very excited about the collectors addition. I have turned on so many people to the “Shares” and would buy one for myself and one or two more as presents for some of your newest fans. Keep us informed as to the particulars of the release and how to order them. Looking forward to Owners Share and Ravenwood 2. Thanks again for the escape. Sean

Another one for the collectors edition please, not sure at what point $35 counts as expensive for a special addition, twice the cost would be fine to be honest.

Comment from Nate
Time: March 31, 2010, 3:57 pm

That was a ballpark number and we’ll have to see what happens when the proof hits the page in terms of page count.

I’m hoping it wont be TOO expensive.

I would love to have a copy! It looks as though you’re going to have to at least double the run, though!

You’d better get them to print more than 100. I’m definitely in for a signed limited edition.

The books are still available for now.

Order thru Ridan, they’ll send the inscription requests to me, and I’ll send them out from here.

I would really enjoy a hardcover set or compendium of all the Golden Age books. ($80 – $120?)

Comment from Nate

That’s an interesting idea, Joe.

When we get the other books lined up we’ll see about maybe making an omnibus edition or something.

The plan is to produce all the Share books in matching hardcover editions so you’ll be able to add to your collection as each one rolls out.

Beyond that, the “boxed set” really needs a box
