Pretty much the title: which are the character's on the Gollancz paperback covers?
The ones I'm pretty certain of are: Szeth on Words of Radiance part two, Shallan on Rhythm of War part one and Adolin on Rhythm of War part two.
I also think Kaladin is on Words of Radiance part one, but that's mostly based on the fact that the guy is wielding a spear.
Asked this in the pinned post but didn't get a response so figured I might have more luck making a post about it.
What do we know about the release date for the Gollancz paperback of Cytonic? Both the UK and DE Amazon sites have June 9, 2022 listed as the release date for them, but Book Depository seems to already have them listed as available.
I've got the Gollancz paperbacks of Skyward and Starsight so I'd prefer the same for Cytonic, but I'd also rather not wait until June to read it, and I'd also prefer to order from Amazon as I've had quicker deliveries from them in the past than Book Depository.
Does anyone know if the June 9 release dates on amazon are incorrect/placeholders or does Book Depository have them incorrectly listed as available already even though they aren't?
I assume it is more rare but is that the case? I would have guessed that the actual first edition would be most desirable.
How much time does it take for Gollancz to publish the books? Rythm of war hasnt been released by gollancz yet so i got curious, i'm planning to start reading the series and wanted to buy the gollancz split editions, since i find them more beautiful, but it seems that the releases from gollancz dont keep up with the US versions, wich are the ones that releases first
I really want a UK hardback edition of Dawnshard, similar to the UK edition of Edgedancer.
Does anyone know if Gollancz plans to release such a version?
Hey collectors. I'm not well-versed on names and terminology so excuse me if I've got something wrong.
About a decade ago I saw and immediately bought the Necronomicon, the black hardcover edition from Gollancz. Shortly afterwards, I saw Eldritch Tales and bought it too, and they've had a cosy spot in my book case ever since. Recently I found a pic online with more books in the same style. Complete Chronicles of Conan (which I bought), Complete Lyonesse (which I ordered, to my wallet's dismay), Conan's Brethren, and Tarzan of the Apes & Other Tales.
Now, I also saw the Dune trilogy at a local bookstore, and I've seen Le Guin's Earthsea collection online as well. Of the latter, I can't find a definitive answer if the spine is the same as the others (I've seen some pics with a different type spine).
So my questions to you book fanatics:
Are the Dune and Earthsea books part of the same 'collection'/edition?
Are there any more books I should be aware of?
I did see some other book about the occult or something with the same style, but I believe its dimensions are much smaller; I'd rather have them all in the same (or approximate) dimensions. Unless there's actually a whole collection of the smaller version, in which case, I'd like to know about those too.
Way back when I bought Way of Kings and Words of Radiance around 2016, I bought each in two separate parts from the Gollancz editions (I live in Australia and Gollancz editions of Sanderson books are the more prominent one here).
Starting from 2017 though, Oathbringer and Rhythm of War are in one whole book rather than split into two parts and I was wondering if Gollancz editions TWoK and WoR are sold in one part as well in any Australian store, because the years haven't been kind to my copies of those books
So I started collecting these and have around half so far. My latest order just came in which contained Good Omens (I know it's not discworld but it's apparently part of the library collection) but unlike the rest it has a paper binding instead of embossed cloth? Is this normal? Is it because it isn't discworld?
Just wondered if anyone else who also had this collection had the same thing.
I know it's only a petty thing, but I wasn't sure if I got some weird wrong version or something.
Short story shorter: I started reading Philip K Dick and learned about Gollancz's SF Masterworks and saw they had a branch for Fantasy too. Read Elric. Didn't like it. Read The Broken Sword. Loved it (with one gripe).
Anyway, I checked the Fantasy Masterworks series andβsurprise!βit has a ton of titles. Most of which I hadn't even heard of. My experience with Elric tells me that many of the titles would be on the list simply because of the influence they had on the genre (or subgenre) irrespective of their literary worth. I'm not qualified nor interested to discuss merit of each fantasy story as literature, but as a reader I thought The Broken Sword is a stronger entry to Fantasy than Elric. (And although Elric had more influence on sword-and-sorcery, Elric was influenced by The Broken Sword, so...)
The other thing about this Masterworks series is that there is no information on how and by whom the titles are selected.
As a reader with limited time and decreasing interest in Fantasy which has more effort on worldbuilding and less on prose and characterization, I'm in need of your guidance on which classics to try out. No need to stay bound within the Fantasy Masterworks series. Mention any classic you want to.
Anybody knows how the deal is between Brandon, Tor and Gollancz?
Tor recently announced Dawnshard hardback but since I'm mostly collecting Cosmere in UK/EU versions I'd like to know if there's a chance it'll be released in that version as well.
To my knowledge nothing has been announced and when I checked Bookdepository they have listed release date for EU version of Edgedancer one year after release of US version. Can I expect something like that for Dawnshard too?
Is there a noticeable quality difference between the Gollancz edition that is published in UK, versus the Indian version? Visually they look the same but the Indian version is much cheaper (in India), I was wondering if there is a difference in paper or material quality.
Hello fellow mistings!
Having just completed Mistborn Era 1, I ordered the 3 Era 2 books. Where I live, I don't have many choices: I ordered via Amazon.
Thing is, even though I chose the Gollancz editions for the 3 books, the covers seem slightly different (AoL & BoM don't have the borders on the cover). My interrogation is simple: will they have coherent spines, or should I look for other shops to satisfy my desire for a beautiful, coherent library?
The books I chose:

Thanks a lot.
Just a very minor thing that caught me off guard, but in every other book I've read, it's very obvious when you start a new chapter because it always starts like 1/4 or 1/3 of the way down on a fresh page with blank space above the chapter title/quote.
But I've just started reading Children and I got a bit confused because while there is a quote at the start of each chapter, there's no kind of spacing like that at all. Was this intended or was my edition (Gollancz 2021) just trying to save space and squeeze everything together?
I'm not actually that bothered and I'm sure I'll get used to it, I'm just asking since I looked it up and haven't seen any mention of it online.
I'm just curious which you all prefer or collect. I've read The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance in the Gollancz edition, and just started on Mistborn.
At this point I'm still debating whether I want to start my collection up on the Tor edition before I will have too many books to change my mind.
I like how the Gollancz are all in the same style but Tor is just more colorful. I will make up my mind when I finish The Final Empire I guess but what are all your preferences and why?
