BS believes that he can finish writing ToM till the middle of August, but that it will be tough. However, I would think that it will then certainly need more than just around 2 months to release a massive book like ToM. In my view, a release in Dezember or maybe January is more realistic. But we'll see...


And I believe this book is being edited like those, in pieces. It can be done, just means paying the printers a lot to compensate for the overtime required.

Did anyone actually have trouble finding a tGS copy at their local bookstore at the release date? Everywhere I saw they had way more copies in stock than they could sell - even at the small airport locations where they had like 2 copies that no one bought.

I think they could print far fewer copies than last time for the initial release, then print more following the (inevitable) revisions.

Since when has Amazon ever been accurate about a release date? *NM* krassos - 07/05/2010 03:43:03 PM 340 Views

I don't think they care if those copies don't sell. It's still advertising. Tom - 09/05/2010 04:49:50 AM 584 Views

I agree - and I'd rather wait for the paperback, actually. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/05/2010 08:18:12 PM 727 Views

I just like hardcovers more - more of a preference of mines. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/05/2010 09:28:53 PM 671 Views
note to self, the dust covers can be taken off *NM* Yunalesca - 07/05/2010 10:45:15 PM 306 Views
Yeah, but then what? BlackAdder - 07/05/2010 11:00:25 PM 654 Views
Yeah, I take them off when I read them, but I don't like losing them. That happened to the WH cover *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 07/05/2010 11:29:44 PM 269 Views
So put the dustcover on top of the books on the shelf from which you take the book. Tom - 08/05/2010 04:46:19 AM 587 Views
It gets damaged on the side with no book in it to keep the shape. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/05/2010 02:52:43 PM 618 Views
Cool. Bookdepository has it for half the price with free shipping. And it's the Orbit version. BlackAdder - 07/05/2010 07:31:15 PM 625 Views
