mattdawhitThe family coordinated exceptionally well to buy me a trilogy I really wanted to read, whilst also managing to infuriate me thanks to publishing format, I'm 99% sure purposely.

Steve Bannister@mattdawhit @cstross oh how annoying!
Charlie Stross@mattdawhit I suspect the one in the middle was printed in the US as a trade paperback while the top/bottom ones were UK editions (also sold as trade, but there's no mass market in the UK any more so they're printed on C-format stock to make distribution cheaper). Ah well, hope you enjoy them! (If you find the ending is a downer, the story continues in the "Empire Games" trilogy.)

I've actually read Empire Games already, I'm excited to dig into the actual events referred to in them
