I don't suppose they say what is on those 'exclusive manuscript pages' do they? Do you think it'll be worth getting even if you already have Eragon and Eldest?

Hmm...I probably wouldn't get it. I already have them both; I don't really need them in one book....

Oh, and Saphirarox had posted this in Come Here When You're Bored. I'll just quote her. She deserves the credit for it :D

I hope this pic worked, it's of the cover art for the combined volume of Eragon and Eldest. (One book, both stories.)

Thanks, Toph, you're a sweetie. Although Sauron made this topic months ago, so we'll split it, he got the info first, I found the pic, how's that?


Yeah, I assume that's what it means forsworn. I've seen books with the original manuscript pages before though, and I didn't like it. (Actually, I didn't like the final copy of the book either. It was rated 'R', for 'Retarded', no offense meant ppl.) Just don't read the book 'Anthem', I had to at school, and I died a thousand times over at it's sheer stupidity.

No problem. I'm fine with splitting the credit anyway :D

So you mean the combined edition will have stuff that was never published as part of Eragon? Like....the rough draft parts?

Yup, which is pretty cool, 'cause I've heard CP mention those parts (though he didn't go into detail) and I've always wanted to see them. It'd be pretty interesting.

Yeah, it would be cool to see what he took out and what he didn't see as fitting. As opposed to what he actually had published....

Yup, we might also get to see some cool parts the publishing company took out, that CP wanted in.

The new Omnibus has a segment of what CP wrote. So, it's basically an exhibition of his handwriting. I also don't like the cover art. They adopted those blasted scleathers from the movie again!!

Post Re: Eragon & Eldest to be Published as One Edition
No, but I think randombuzzers.com has a price listed, I wasn't really paying attention when I logged on to the Skolir team forum.

???Really??? I thought the cover art looked pretty cool... It didn't look like the scleathers to me...And here it is again...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not a scleather. They don't have hair. (Thank God!!!) Hmm, I have to admit though, the back edge of the wings is dangerously close to resembling Saphira's wings in the movie, but they definitely aren't the same thing.

Post Re: Eragon & Eldest to be Published as One Edition
Thanks Wolverien!

Hmmm.... Lol, I wonder if it will even be worth buying the Omnibus, just to see the original manuscript. Lol, I think I'll just go oggle at it in a bookstore and then determine if I want to buy it... Lol, I might just buy it because the cover art is so awesome.

True. It might be more depending on whether it's hardback or paperback though...

That might be true, some info on this:

The $16 price is only for the online webstore, in normal stores it would probably be like $20

This version is the paperback, as of yet I haven't seen any hardbacks.. (yet?)

If you'd like to have it I'd still say wait a little longer with buying it O:)

Hugs,
Wolve

Yep, it's out. And it was about 4 and a half inches thick :lol:

But I'm probably not getting it. I already have Eragon and two Eldests :lol:
