On the same day I saw Mark Lawrence review Paternus, I also saw a review on Novel Notions on the third in the series. I try to recognize the hints life gives me...I'm supposed to read this series. That said, I am definitely more of a hardback book guy. I wanted to see whether the series is in hardback or if they are all paperback? The limited places I've found the first book are all in paperback. Thanks!
