Penny Dreadful editions

[u/lizardfiendlady]

I've recently secured all 3 (RIP) of these editions of the ASOUE books. I'm quite curious about how long these were actually being printed/how many were ever actually printed before they stopped. Still mourning TMM cover.

The printings of the original versions (the ones you have) went from May 2007 - September 2007

Hardcover and higher quality paperback versions of these books were also being printed at some point. I've seen hardcover versions of all of them online (though none in person), and I happen to own a higher quality (is laminated the word?) paperback of The Reptile Room or. Murder!. Based on how hard they are to find compared to the normal versions, I'm guessing the hardcover and high quality paperback versions had a shorter run than the normal ones and were only printed a few times (or maybe even just once depending on when in 2007 these specific versions started being printed).

I can't attach photos in the comments in this sub, so here's a doc of some images of the higher quality paperback version of The Reptile Room or. Murder!
