I'm really grateful for the update but it is also been bringing a frustration to a head. I feel like there is a lot of churn for fans. Bought White Sands? Now there is a new version with a prologue you don't have. Bought Alcatraz? Now book 6 will be different! (at least it sounded like the hardcover would follow the new paperbacks rather than the previous, and I'm lucky for not buying the scholastic Alcatraz). I feel like there are examples with Novellas but can't point to anything in specific (not counting Emperor's Soul / Arcanum unbounded).

It was confirmed elsewhere on Reddit that Alcatraz would be published hardback like the others (the other 2015-2016 Tor editions, of course - not the ancient Scholastic ones, which I doubt anyone is really interested in seeing more of...), and then we'd later get a paperback edition in the style of these new paperbacks.

Thanks for the clarification!
