Dear John: "Why do both hardcover and trade paper editions of Robert McCammon's The Queen of Bedlam exist?" (Dan) John responds: "Every once in awhile a publisher will do a simultaneous hardcover / trade paper release of the same title in hopes of reaching a broader audience. In the United Kingdom this is done with almost all titles. Two other examples are Michael Connelly's Blue Religion and Murder in Vegas." Good reading!
