Those who need, and those who will give
Edge is the most recent one to rave about the fact that some will not be seeing Runes for quite a while. Edge, I'll mail you a copy tomorrow if you pm me your address. I thought this would be a good place for others to make it known that they'd be willing to mail a copy out to those of us who are what I could only describe as in Hell! After all, when we're able, Watchers take care of their own.

I'd be happy to mail out a couple copies to those in need, once my local B&N gets them in stock!
Just pm me, and I'll see what I can do!

So long as my copy arrives before the Elohimbrunch.

Count me in. I have access to the book and am willing to ship. I may even be able to get a hold on another signed copy. Just PM me or reply to this thread.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Got mine tonight. Had to cancell my order at B&N (they told me on the phone that even though they said it would be here today, they're just sitting in their warehouse and won't be delivered until the 23rd. wtf) then drive way the heck out to a Borders across town.

Fist as usual, you're the MAN! And Creator, you too! Great Av's guys. EDGE, of course. Doesn't he rock?!
Creator can you really get a signed copy? I may be interested if you can, that is if I don't hear from another source who "said" they could in the next few hours.
That would be awesome. I will let you know. Cate

Sorry Cate, I can't get one - it was an offer from Arturia for getting a UK signed version. But Romeo may be able to help!Cate wrote:Fist as usual, you're the MAN! And Creator, you too! Great Av's guys. EDGE, of course. Doesn't he rock?!

Has anyone heard from Seafoam Understone lately? His last post was on Sept. 9th. I bring his name up because I remember him mentioning in a thread a while back that he likely wouldn't have the necessary funds to acquire Runes in hardback, so he was going to wait it out for the paperback version. I would hate to see such a veteran member of the Watch deprived of Runes, so I hope he becomes aware that there are folks here willing to help.
(I'd like to help out but I'm up here in Canada and still awaiting the book's arrival, so it would be faster and easier for our U.S. members to help Seafoam.)
Come back, Rockbrother! Your presence is missed.

It would be a near-crime to not send a copy to Seafoam. Heck, if anyone knows his address, pm me, and I'll send him one just in case he hasn't found other means.
Unless you're out there Seafoam? *peering through the darkness, hoping to catch a glimpse of our Rockbrother*
