Hey I have only read TLT through my library but love it so much I want my own copies to reread. I saw that the additional short stories come out at the same time as the paperback editions, but are there versions that include them? Like Dr. Sex at the end of GTN? I ask bc I was looking at paperbacks in a bookstore and didn't see the short stories included but if it exists I'd rather buy those

hello anon! so I think this will depend on your country of residence. in the USA, paperback copies are released ~1 year after publication and for TLT, include a glossary and extra short story (GTN: sermon on cav and necros; HTN: As Yet Unsent; NTN: The Unwanted Guest). I believe the Ireland/UK paperbacks include the short stories and extras as well

however! I know in Australia, the paperbacks are released on the same day as the hardbacks, and so the short stories are not included. Not sure where you are located but this may be why the bookstore paperbacks near you don’t have them?

(Also, Dr. Sex is an online-only short story at this time, and I believe is not currently officially printed anywhere. Hope this helps!)
