Emily asked Sebastien de Castell:

Hi, Sebastien! I've been trying to invest in HC of the Spellslinger series through The Book Depository. However, the hardcover of the first book is published by Zaffre Publishing whereas the others are by Hot Key Books? I want to make sure they match, but the difference in publishers has a bit stumped and unsure. What's the difference? Is there a difference?

Sebastien de Castell Hi Emily,

There's only one English-language hardcover edition of Spellslinger and that's from Hot Key Books. However Hot Key is owned by Bonnier Zaffre Publishing, so sometimes you'll see Bonnier in the cataloguing records and other times Hot Key. So long as it's definitely the first edition hardcover, though, you should be fine.

Best,

Sebastien
