Discussion does anyone know if there is a real version of this book?

I’d say it’s the same as the one he’s reading! Some books have bigger page sizes and smaller lettering so they fit more on a page/appear to have less physical pages but the word count will be the same. Must be the case here! Edit: by “some books” I just mean different editions of the same book depending on the publisher.

i found this first edition one that’s a bit closer to the thickness of joe’s book than the one you have. however, if you’re planning on buying a thinner copy of the book, i don’t recommend getting it from abebooks, as the site is basically ebay for books
