I finally got to see the paperback of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, which is out just in time for Christmas. For various good reasons, Tor elected to publish the hardcover in January of last year, too late for Christmas shoppers. A lot of people complained (including me), but it’s clear that they knew what they were doing — the book didn’t end up competing with the big, frontlist holiday titles and sold very well indeed. Still, I’m very grateful indeed that the paperback (which Amazon has for $10.36) is out in time for the holidays this year.
