This is great news! Looking forward to buy these NA editions. I am just curious to see how they will play compared to the Fighting Fantasy series considering you have been writing gamebooks for more than 20 years! I enjoyed Bloodbones and Curse of the Mummy despite their hard (sometimes unfair) encounters.
Regards
Will the North American Hardcover cover of Alice be the same as the 5th Anniversary cover or will it remain the same as the paperback and the older hardcover? Thanks.
