A'ight, I went to the grocery store today and on my way out this book caught my eye on the magazine rack. The cover looks almost identical to the Season 6 Part I DVD set, but says "Special Collector's Edition / The Sopranos / The Book": It's 128pp, magazine-sized paperback, from HBO & Time Inc., $11.99 cover price ("Display until 7/30/07") So I bring it home - looks nice, lots of pictures and articles. I check online to see if it's on Amazon, and I see something completely different, with the same name and ISBN number. This one -- same title, same ISBN number, same publisher, different cover -- has (it says) 192pp (rather than 128pp) and costs $14.93 ($21.95 list). And despite the release date of May 15, 2007, Amazon says it's in stock and shipping. WTF is up with that, I wondered... so then went to HBO's site store... ...and they have what looks like a third different cover! ...With the same release date as is on Amazon.com, I assume perhaps it's the same one w/ a different cover? I don't know WTF. But, apparently, Amazon is taking pre-orders for the Hardcover "Deluxe Edition" (no cover photo) due out in October (224pp hardcover). So perhaps I'll wait for that one, then see how they compare...

I just got back from the gtrocery store, and saw this book (the first one you posted Geoff, with the cast on the cover). I made one of those stops this morning to pick up something I forgot. Anyway, I bought it, and haven't had a chance to read it yet, but it looks really good. From what I can tell it has pictures stories on the cast, beautiful pictures of the inside of the Sopranos home, which is even more beautiful and bigger than I imagined. Nice shots of "The Bing", and different locations; a section on Chase and so much more. So, are all three you posted the same then or what?? I picked it up, and put it down a couple times, thinking, I'll get it next week. Then I thought, if it's a collector's edition, maybe it won't be there next time I look, so I just bought it. I paid $12.00. To me, it's worth it. TIS

What about a Sopranos comic book? In this day and age of graphic novels, comics and the like, that's not such a crazy idea.

A lot of big fans thought the Stephen King DARK TOWER comic series would be a big joke, but that one's actually very nicely done, if you're into that sort of thing...I guess I might pick up a SOPRANOS comic, but...I think they're putting most of their "other medium" bang into the videogame, which I haven't bought (we don't have the 360 yet, though the kids are clamoring for one)--wonder if that one's any good?
