Cindy Pon's Silver Phoenix: Update

[sanguinity]

I've edited the original post, but I feel this is important enough to bring up top, because I know a lot of people are talking about buying the hardback to send a message. As noted here by Jonquil and here in comments to the linkspam, the hardback version of Silver Phoenix is remaindered. This means that the link between the hardback edition and the publisher is now severed: they've already sold off their stock, and cannot tell if you're buying a copy.

Which means that if you are considering buying Silver Phoenix right now, this is the choice you get to make:

• Buy the hardback because it has the cover image you want. The publisher will never know that you did.
  
• Buy the paperback and boost the official, visible sales statistics. This will ultimately help keep the series in print.

There may in fact be other options, options that may or may not involve purchasing a copy -- y'all can brainstorm if you feel like it. Just do know that buying the hardback at this point is not the tidy option that I and many others would have liked it to be.
