J. K. Rowling eBook Will Cost $19.99

Little, Brown and Company revealed the cover for The Casual Vacancy today, a 512-page novel for adults from J. K. Rowling.

The hardcover will cost $35, the large-print hardcover will cost $39.00 and the eBook will cost $19.99–what do you think? Publication is set for September 27, 2012.

Here’s more about the book: “When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.” (Via Book Riot)
