I've been looking at various vendors selling Frostgrave and I found that some have a copy with 136 pages, while others have theirs with 96 pages? Why is there a difference? Thanks! |

My guess would be one is print only and the other has all the illustrations. |

Sorry, one is the rule book (136) and one is "Tales of the Frozen City"(90) which is short stories set in Frostgrave. |

Cyrus, I thought that too, but when you go to North Star's page it has it listed as 136 pages:
link On Amazon it's 96 pages:
link Various dealers on Ebay show either 96 or 136 pages:
auction auction Here's Osprey's site which lists it at 136 pages:
ospreypublishing.com/frostgrave The problem is that thay are all showing the main rule book cover with these different pages counts. Tales Of The Frozen City has a different cover illustration:
link See what I mean? I'm guessing the 136 page count is the right main rule book, but unsure now. Still confused… |

New release. Misinformation
It happens.
I like how there are USED options on Amazon since it just came out officially today. :-) Grimm |

@53Punisher,
I can see why you're confused, but I believe they are confusing the two different books. We all know how well people read these days. |
| 53Punisher | 21 Jul 2015 10:59 p.m. PST |
Yep, I agree. 👌 So the 136 page is the one I'm looking for, right? I originally pre-ordered from Amazon, but they emailed me that it wouldn't be shipped until late September! Not waiting that long, looking for another vendor. 😀 |

Thanks, Cyrus, you've been a great help! 👍 |

Originally the book was going to be 96 pages, but it grew, so by the time it was released it was 136. Some sites still have old data. |

Amazon always has old data, because they don't give a fig about the product or you. |

Thanks, guys. That clears it up for me. I appreciate all the info! 👍 NickNorthStar, I definitely agree! In my experience, why would they list the book for pre-order, saying it will be released in a couple days, then when you order it, email the customer to tell them it's not in stock and they'll be shipping it near the end of September!? Really poor and misleading info and customer service IMO. I ordered it elsewhere early this morning and it already shipped! I'll have it by Friday. THAT'S customer service! 😀 |
| NickNorthStar | 22 Jul 2015 11:17 a.m. PST |
Yep. I've found them showing the wrong front cover to books, because the publisher has changed their minds between first listing it's ISBN number and going to print. I've also caught them listing books the publisher has no intention of selling to them because of their crippling terms. |

Hey Nick! My books came in today. Thanks, Tim |
goes the authentic route as he paints
