Swiggy,
Well, that's very nice to hear. Thank you! I honestly wasn't certain about it, but my agent liked it, and we decided to put it up as a measure of goodwill for the Amazon people, who have been very nice to us. We don't expect it to earn serious money, but we thought some fans might be interested.
In answer to your comment, I'm actually planning something fun in this area. I think I'm going to print a small number of 'Elantris Omnibus' books. These will include the following (an * noting the things that aren't on my website.)
All of the annotations for Elantris
All of the deleted scenes
Both essays about the book from my website
The glossary and pronunciation guide
*The original Aon images I drew before Tor spiffed them up.
*The original maps that 42 did for me, along with my notes about them.
*Hope of Elantris
*Another short story in the Elantris world (?)
Together, that would be about 200 pages or so of printed material, and we'll probably sell them through my website at $15 trade paperback, $25 hardback, for any who happen to be interested. Amazon has exclusive rights to Hope of Elantris for about six months, so the printed book wouldn't come out until then. However, this is one of the projects I've begun puttering around with.
I'm not sure if people would want something like this, and it certainly wouldn't be something that would make a lot of money for me. However, it occurs to me that having to reference all of these things on the web makes for hard reading and the like, and so people might want a printed version.
Thoughts?
