On one of the conversation forums I notice that you where reading salmon of doubt. Is it worth getting the hardback or should I get the cheapo paper on specail offer.

Cheers

Well, Salmon of Doubt, as I've seen it, is a a nice compilation of DNA's short stories plus the unfinished script of the so-named story itself. I myself am a sucker for hardback books, and since I often return to read the short stories there, I notice it doesn't wear just as fast.

But as far as I know the texts in the two versions doesn't differ, so I guess it's just a question of what you like yourself

Sorry Tilly ,
Having re read the question I asked , I feel that I didn't phrase it very well. What I really should have said was.

Is it a good enough read to keep re-reading it often and hence justify the hardback version , or is is more of a once read then keep in the bookcase?
But thanks for the speedy reply

Cheers

No need to appologize

Well, the Salmon of Doubt story itself I only read once - it was a bit too frustrating reading a story you know there'll never be a proper ending on While the added essays and short stories I've read several times now, because many of them are so funny I need a little laugh to brighten up an otherwise bleak day...

But I don't feel I can decide for you - I can only say the hardback copy worked out very well for me as I am one of those persons who read good stories again and again and again...
