honestly i feel like people overreact to this stuff. like yeah the movie tie in covers might cut a scene or two but it's usually just extra fluff that didn't matter anyway. i read the martian movie edition and it was fine, i didn't miss whatever they took out. publishers are just trying to make the book match the movie for people who saw it first, it's not like they're ruining the story. if you're really that upset about a missing chapter then buy the original cover version, it's not that hard. plus most readers probably don't even notice the differences, and if they do they probably don't care.

Did you guys also have to Google "quinoa" and then eat sad chicken again anyway?

Fixing things before anyone notices. That's the real flex.

Did you see that one article claiming you get less splintering standing it up?
