A while back I began to collect some fantasy novels I'd had my eyes on. I used to wait until a fantasy series was complete before beginning to read book1, but I did still like to purchase those that I was interested in, having them on my TBR shelves, staring at me, sitting, waiting.
   These days due to unreliable publishers, inconsistent formatting, vanishing dust jackets and a strange shift in cover finishes (from glossy to matte or vice versa), and of course, lastly and not leastly; due to the unreliability of certain authors I've mostly come to abandon my keeping in tune book-buying and instead have shifted to only purchasing books when the whole endeavour I'm interested in is complete. I'm only one person and I already have over a 1000 physical books waiting on my TBR shelves, and I frankly don't need the hassle of chasing down editions in a series that can't or won't match.
   And even then, it can still go wrong sometimes, to whit I present you the evidence:

Not once, but twice!

I did eventually get the right format though.

Had to go on ebay and have a picture where someone was holding it in order to verify that it's what I needed.

Is the series worth it? No clue, but it does have beveled edges though, which is really nice.
