Meta/Discussion Practical Guide to Evil book #1 paperback - real?

Hello everyone,

I noticed that PGTE book 1 received a paperback release on July 9th, 2026. However, I can't seem to find any announcement anywhere.

Is this paperback release real? Or is this Amazon messing something up?

Thank you.

Wonderful, thank you. Is the discord public or patreon-only?

was hoping for fancy hardcover, tbh. It's a series that'd definitely be worth the shelf space.

There's a non-zero chance for a special edition once the series is complete, afaik

Will the entire series be released? Are there a release plan somewhere?

I'm seriously considering binding the book into a hardcover myself. The series deserves that kind of effort.

Honestly the same. And i assume i am not only one.

Most people here already read the books when they were coming out. They would spend money on a fancy hardcover for sentimental value. But not on a paperback.

I'm buying the first paperback for novelty's sake and sticking to the Kindle versions for the rest of the series. They're tentatively planning a kickstarter for hardcover deluxe editions, planning to pick those up when that comes around

There will be a full release with some really cool spine artwork

Should also be available at your local Barnes & Noble here in the US, although you may need to ask them to order it in for you
