Date: 4/2/10 11:16 pm (UTC)OTOH I wish they'd just have the damn book in a store here in the Forbidden Planet in London at least. WAY TO FAIL, UK

Date: 4/11/10 10:34 pm (UTC)It took only a week and half to get here to Toronto and with free shipping it was cheaper then buying it online in Canada. And faster shipping.
But it was a long week and a half of checking the mailbox.

Maybe if they put dragons and vampires - or vampire dragons - on the covers...

Date: 4/2/10 11:24 pm (UTC)My bookstore always has a copy of The Thief, and they just put in a bunch of ACoK copies. They never have QoA or KoA, and I can't help but think they are making the best part of the series unavailable to people. Obviously the book industry needs to be taken over by the Sounis community. I say we plan an attack.

.......and I'm definitely willing to join in the attack.
no subject
Date: 4/3/10 01:27 am (UTC)Yay! That is all I have to say. Oh, except that I would join the attack as well, if we could all decide on a specific week to do it so that I can get down to a bookstore.

no subject
Date: 4/3/10 03:27 am (UTC)Ya, I don't get why ppl order online when you can quickly pick it up at a local bookstore the day it comes out! I understand if you don't live anywhere close to one or its not being published whereever you living at.
I'm happy that the library was actually decently fast enough to order them and now the copy I hold for fun when I already bought one is being shipped to my local library! Yay!
Congrats mwt!

Date: 4/3/10 09:31 pm (UTC)Discounts. Huge discounts! And, depending on who you order from, no sales tax (10% in some areas). And, best of all .... sometimes when you preorder, you can get it before the laydown date!
no subject
Date: 4/5/10 04:02 pm (UTC)As for discounts..that failed now. Yes there's discounts but they made a new damn rule about no pre-order of books can allow free shipping! so when you add that amount in, it cost more than to buy the book online than at the store, so i opt for the store day. I think i go hold book next time to pick up! And it was good, i got the discounts from the store b/c they were doing their march break sale event! There's not much independent bookstore I know off from where i live, its all own by Indigo Inc.
well hope everyone is getting to read it now!

Date: 4/3/10 04:43 pm (UTC)And yeah, neither Borders in my area had the new book in stock the day it was released. Which was fine, because the independent bookstore was holding one for me. But they had only three, which they were holding for preorders, and the lady said they'd had others wanting it that they had to say no to. So disappointing.
