   Star Wars novels come in three basic physical formats: hardback, trade   
   paperback, and mass market paperback. Some books are eventually   
   released in all three, some are only ever released as hardbacks.   
      
   Personally I prefer the mass market paperback because it's cheaper and   
   smaller (can fit more on the bokshelf). The problem is that the greedy   
   publishers release the expensive bigger versions first, and it can be a   
   long wait for the smaller cheaper versions, if they are ever released.   
      
   Does anyone know if there is a way to find out which books have which   
   formats planned?? Some online book stores do list pre-order pages, but   
   they aren't always created nor reliable.   
      
   I don't want to buy the expensive hardback only to find the paperback   
   gets released six months later ... but I also don't want to wait months   
   for a paperback that never turns up and then not be able to get the   
   then-old hardback.
