Is Sunward hardcover?
First, I my apologies if you find the question stupid. I wrote to the Contact email address and never received an answer, so I am asking here. According to Amazon.com, this book is softcover and it is being released by Catalist Labs. I have it on pre-order, but if the information and ISBN that Amazon has is incorrect then I will never receive the book and I would have to search for another online store, that ships here in Eastern Europe. So, is the Sundward one great and awesome hard cover? :) Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's a hardcover and a nice read. It'n also a little pricier at $40, but I think it is definitely worth it.

To be fair, not entirely Amazons fault.

As we've said a few times .. when Amazon gets their shit together with Sunward, we'll let everyone know about it. ;)

Re: Is Sunward hardcover?
I wrote to Amazon regarding that and suggested the correct product info. Hopefully they will solve it sooner than later :)

Amazon's catalog team is ... sometimes retarded. On my attempt to update the catalog (by providing a feedback) check out below what I have received as an answer. Even when I provided a URL to the product page here...
Quote:

Please ... it's easier if you let our team that works directly with Amazon handle these things. The old Catalyst entry should _not_ be updated, because our book has a different ISBN and technically has a different title than theirs. The "*CXD" that was in Catalyst title? It meant "Cancelled." :) I appreciate that you're trying to help, but you just un-did some of the work we've managed to get done with Amazon. :)

Re: Is Sunward hardcover?
I very sorry about that :O I tried to update the book long before posting here and I have received the answer now :) Would you mind reveal some of the reasons behind this mistakes? Because it is not uncommon for Amazon to do such things? What kind of system they are using for updates and new titles?

Re: Is Sunward hardcover?
Amazon got information ages and ages ago from Catalyst. Since then, we're no longer with Catalyst, the book's specs have changed, and the ISBN has changed. The title they have listed right now is Catalyst's title, which is never going to come out. They actually do have OUR information and our titles setup, but they haven't ordered yet -- don't ask me why, the core book sells well for them -- so until they DO, we're not pointing people towards them, for the obvious reasons. Sunward and the GM Screen have been out for 17 days now. I don't begrudge anyone that wants to save money, but it sure seems that other retailers are a lot more reliable when it comes to RPG stuff.

Indeed, and that was a nice surprise. So to sum up: - hardcover - full color - cloth bookmark
