Let the Pre-Ordering commence!!

[Furls Fire]

Barnes and Noble now has the hardcover edition of The Runes of the Earth up for pre-order with a release date of October 14, 2004. $21.56 non-member, $20.48 for members.

Not sure how set in stone the release date is...but it sure is awesome to see that it can be pre-ordered now!!

Here's the page at B&N

Wow, released on my birthday, heh.

[Revan]

LOL! Lucky git heh, we probably won't get it over here at that date... we'll probably get it in the year 2074 or something... knowing my luck...

[I'm Murrin]

We usually get it early, but I think they're trying to make the dates as close as possible this time.
btw, does Barnes and Noble exist in the UK? I've never seen one.

BARNES & NOBLE? COOL!
There's one close to me, AND,
my birthday is in October also!
WOW! Anybody wanna come along?

[duchess of malfi]

Sure if you want to come to the one in Ann Arbor. Three days before I turn forty. Couldn't ask for a better present!

[Furls Fire]

My bday is the 10th of October, so it will make a great pressie for me too. About that release date, I don't think I'll take it as gospel until I see it on the official site.

Then Vain can set up a count down clock!!

[duchess of malfi]

I surely hope it is the right date.

I had been planning on going to Chicago for a three day weekend for my birthday. Now, I think I will lock myself in a room with some snacks and my new Donaldson book instead.

Well, I plan of giving Russ ALL the kids and closeting myself away for the "binge read" of Runes.

[Jake]

wow, I really can't believe that Mr Donaldson is continuing his work after so much time. I was amazed when I heard there might be another set of books coming out. Add that with finding this place; this is a good a day as any.

I can't bear reading hardbacks, darn it, so may have to wait for a while for the p/b, on the other hand...

[I'm Murrin]

I hate hardbacks too, but i'm right on the edge of deciding that it wouldn't be too bad as long as I don't get half the series in one form and the rest another (which would most likely happen if I got the first couple in paperback - I'd get to book two and be unable to wait for book 3).

[Furls Fire]

There is absolutely no way I could ever wait for the PB. I have the Chrons in both HC and PB...the HC's I leave in our library. But, my poor PB's are falling apart!

Amazon also has it for pre-order. $18.33, same release date.

Just by the bye, for SRD's rightpondian readers, you can also pre-order Runes at W.H. Smith:

www.whsmith.co.uk/whs/go.asp?ISBN=0575075988&DB=220

The price, however, is ghastly — £20.

My paperbacks are due to be replaced (for the third time)
and I keep my hardcovers in my bookshelf also.
(Not quite large enough to say "library".)

Amazon sounds like the better way to go, since Barnes & Noble told
me that the price will be $26.95!
Add $3.00 shipping if I want it sent directly to my house.
(However, I live right by a B&N bookstore, so there is no need for that.)

[Furls Fire]

hehe. Well we have a huge family/den/music/library room in our house. One whole wall is nothing but huge glass doored shelves. So I call it the "library".

[I'm Murrin]

Lucky. I only have two large shelves, and they were filled the day they were put up :/

[Furls Fire]

My hubby Russ had them built into the wall when we had the house built. I have a rather large collection of books, heaven help us if we ever decide to move!! We would need a truck just for the books.
