Penguin Random House Buys Simon and Schuster

[STMSTS]

Wondering what the sales were like on the TMP novelization reissue? I could see a TPB anniversary edition for Vonda McIntyre’s TWOK novel.

The 2006 reissues were done on the cheap, reusing the old plates even though they were old-fashioned in style and visibly the worse for wear.

Not that cheap, seeing as how they sprang for new cover art. Between new cover art and new layout, I know which one's probably going have a bigger impact on sales...

That they could have been done even more cheaply doesn’t mean that they weren’t done on the cheap, especially given the likely costs-to-profits ratio of a couple fairly generic cover designs versus all-new layouts. (Personally I would have been more likely to buy them based on new layouts than on new covers, but I won’t try to argue that I’m a representative consumer on that point.)

Hah, I forgot about that. I guess we are getting higher-priced reprints! Was that re-typeset?\

If they do re-issue Wrath of Khan, maybe I will finally buy it. It and into Darkness are the only film novels I don't own.

I'd buy it.
