Brandon Sanderson / Re: Warbreaker Paperback!

As usual I bought the hardcover but waited for the paperback to actually read the book (I hate hate hate lugging around hardcovers). Just got it today, yay...
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Note that you can still find both, if you know how to look. They ARE on Amazon, you just have to go the paperback first, then click on the hardback link there.

Takes you to the hardcover Elantris.
I WILL be selling signed copies through my website eventually. These, however, will have remainder marks on them. (Each one has a little black dot on the top.) Plus, we're not sure when we'll begin selling them.
My problem is that while I want to support the authors I like, I'm also extremely cheap. I have a hard time buying anything new, because I know I can get it at such a better price used. It's a dilemma for me, because I want the authors I like to get something out of me buying their books, but I don't have that much money to throw around.
