Hey CLZ team,
There’s some variants of the Kickstarter editions of the Farscape 25th Anniversary soft/hardcovers, each with unique ISBNs. Can these be added in please?
Book contents are presumably the same for each. Details taken verbatim from the indicia pages of the Chiana & Ka D’Argo editions I have, except as noted. The printed date in the indicia for these is November 2024.

Note: the ISBNs listed on CLZ for both #1HC and #2HC don’t seem to match any of the above. I don’t know why, perhaps different printings were distributed through the campaign? My editions are both noted as First Edition, printed in China.
The artwork for all editions on the Kickstarter campaign, although marked as ‘Not Final Art’, is very close to the published end result. The only real difference is the 25th Anniversary logo isn’t on the final covers.
2025 retail editions: these are already present on CLZ under “Farscape TP” (book one, book two). Interestingly, it would appear book one is a reprint of the 2018 omnibus edition. And the contents of the 2025 retail editions match up with the contents of all the Kickstarter soft/hardcovers above. So maybe some of these series should be merged, maybe not!
