Later than I expected ... but more should show up as people notice there is a market!
I need two ARC's (US and UK) to match the two I have for Runes!!
And of course the two Published versions for both countries and the audio book version!!
*yes, I know - I am a SRD GEEK! - guilty as charged!*

I just picked up an ARC of Runes (US edition) a couple of days ago on eBay for only about $10 US (unread, mint condition
). I'm happy to wait for a bargain!

Wow. Well, it was only a matter of time.
But yeah, like AK said, I was expecting it to come earlier. I thought the Runes ARC came out much earlier than this.
Already up to 41 bucks. Wow.
(And I'm half tempted to bid on it...heh.)

..The slogan on the cover is awesome.
I thought you were a ripe grape
a cabernet sauvignon
a bottle in the cellar
the kind you keep for a really long time

I think if this "Peter" person wins, he should give the book to me as a gift. Not only for being the awesomest admin ever, but also to make amends for all of the times he has been mean to me over the years.

I will let you read it after I do ... if I win (I will NOT go higher) - but you will probably not finish it till well after the actual book is released!!

Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.
