Is this going to be a limited edition or a regular release? Also,I can’t wait to read The Reach of Children, been wanting to read that one for a long time.

Hi John,
Not an official answer but I would expect it to follow the usual PS Publishing route of a limited edition of 100 signed and slipcased copies, and a (fairly) unlimited edition of hardcovers.
As soon as I know details and prices I’ll add them to the page.
If you are UK based then direct pre-orders from PS are usually post free, and if you are state side a number of retailers stock PS books.
Once again as I find out I’ll update the page with relevant links.
It will be good for “The Reach of Children” to reach (!) a wider audience given the demise of Humdrumming curtailing the original release.

John, what Tim said it about right, as far as I know. I’ll let you know if there’s any change when I hear from PS.
