It was published in three versions: a trade paperback edition, a trade hardcover, and a signed, limited edition hardcover.
It sold extremely well and all three issues have been collected into a hardcover trade paperback.
It has been published as both a series of hardcover books and as an online database file.
The miniseries was then collected into two variant graphic novel hardcovers, one with a regular dust jacket, the other without.
Typically, a hardcover edition appears first, followed in months or years by the much less expensive paperback version.
Since 2012, the yearly special is published in the form of a hardcover book.
