Right now, the Scribner edition is only available as an ebook and audiobook edition. I bought the new Scribner audiobook edition that came out on January 6, 2023, because of Alec Nevala-Lee’s review in The New York Times. Sherriff’s forgotten 1939 novel The Hopkins Manuscript. Stewart’s 1949 classic novel Earth Abides then there’s a good chance you’ll love to read R.
