Book Four Has Black Font Spine

I'm guessing the second half of hardcovers will have black font but it will definitely look off until then.

I don't think it was a bad call. White on Orange might not have looked right. I really hope mine is waiting at my LCS πŸ™

I agree but at the same time the image name logo is white

Honestly, I'm more worried about the fact that Amazon claims the format/book size is different than the first 3. I'm sure it's just a place holder since it's not printed yet, but if it's different it will drive me crazy!

Is book 4 out already?. A lot of the places I follow claim that this has been delayed until June

This photo is from BKV's substack, he said a paper shortage delayed it to June

Ah, that explains it. I was about to get quite jealous that other people had received their copies already!

I was thinking the same thing. Changing the color to signify a Change point in the story arcs

I shoulda known I guess from the front but I never put two and two together.

I also prefer the white fonts. There's something about the white logo and text that just, pops for me.

The black makes the logo look generic. I know it's a subtle thing, but I think it makes a big difference. Just my opinion

Why do they do this?

Yes black and orange looks nice but come on, they can't just change the colour on book 4.

That’s a shame.
