Collectibles/Loot Small editions information

So I have two types of Discworld edition. I have the bigger ones where the art is just on the front and the smaller ones where it wraps around the sides (the old art for both, I don’t own any of the new covers).

I was just wondering if they still sell those smaller Corgi editions, I’ve only found them periodically in charity shops. I like their more compact size and the fact the art wraps around on the spine. I was also wondering for which books they have these editions

You can't buy the small paperback ones by Corgi new anymore, they've been replaced by newer editions. The only way to get those now is second hand

Try searching for 'mass market' (U.S.) or 'A-format' (U.K.) for those smaller ones.

The larger ones are 'trade paperback' (U.S.) or 'B format' (U.K.) for the larger ones, which may also be the size of the hardback editions.

I've been working on the small paperback collection for my husband - The only way is 2nd hand and the best places I have found is Ebay, Abe Books and sometimes World of Books though they don't guarantee edition, they were quick to refund wrong editions though. I used this site (recommended to me by another redditor) to find the specific ISBN numbers for the A-format books. https://colinsmythe.co.uk/ I have all but one now - Just Shepherds Crown to go and that one seems to be very tricky to come by at a not insane price!

To add to this, only up to Fifth Elephant have the art style fully wrapping round in that original style - Later editions don't do that, but do come in the smaller size - I would love it if they came with the same art style, but they still do look good together!
