Kevin's Watch

I usually order books from Amazon, but this feels special and I am going to look for an independent bookstore to patronize. There's one in my neighborhood (192 Books, in Chelsea, Manhattan), though they're rather small and may not carry it. Will check with them.


P.S.: I am a newbie poster; do advise if this is not the right sub-forum for this topic...

I'm just gonna grab it from the chapters in my mall xD a half hour bikeride that is totally worth it!

Amazon.

Should I confess this is the first time I haven't even bloomin' arranged a copy before the release date!

Waterstones.

I have completely given up buying books from Amazon unless there's a very large price difference, but I would have bought this one from Waterstones either way. There aren't really any independant bookstores near me.

I pro-ordered it from Chapters in Dublin (first time I ever pre-ordered a book). It's a big store but has an unbelievable secondhand sci-fi/fantasy section.

Kindle version pre-ordered from Amazon

Hardcover... haven't ordered yet.

Barnes and Noble. I want to get it no later then this Tuesday, and this location has been good about getting books on time in the past.

Wonder if some of these places may not stock a lot of copies and sell out quickly. Will make folks like ussusimiel who preordered look wise

Not sure Donaldson's a big enough deal for that to be much of an issue in anything but small independants. Big enough to be stocked, yes, but not sell out in the first few days.

Around here, they eventually get copies. The only sure way that you will get one is if you order ahead of time.

Originally, Amazon. But I've cancelled my order since I've received no shipping confirmation yet. Which I thought good enough reason to buy 'TLD' at the local independent bookstore.

Got my copy today at Chapters!

Pre-ordered from Waterstones. No phone call yet!

Also getting kindle version as easier to hold than a great big book!

There is that, Iolanthe, but you will want a hardback first edition for SRD to sign at Elohimfest next summer, will you not?

Oh yes, that's why I pre-ordered the hard back. Thing is, will the plane cope with a heavy book like that? Will I have to pay extra on my luggage?

B&N. Not usually, but for this one. I called ahead: it'll be there.

Got it! Am I the first!

Was pre-ordered on Amazon as a birthday gift for me, so it should be waiting for me upon my return home from this business trip. (But now I have to avoid the forums for a week...)
