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 happily do so, but I borrowed it from Darth. He's already doing more than his fair share of Runes-sharing 8)

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

From the U.K I'd be happy to send out copies to whoever - wherever, send me a pm - if anyone in the US wants a U.K edition to complete their collection just let me know. Of course its not published here for another week, grrrr...,

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.

There are no bookstores in my hometown so I'm unable to help. I am impressed by the generosity of the Watch, as always.

Dymocks wont stock RUNES till the beginning of NOVEMBER!

its to be expected :roll:

i am interested in how much RUNES cost those Northern Hemisphere folk who already have their copies .. Its AUD$49.95 for hard copy here .. when it arrives. Which is pretty good i think.

anyway .. its all good!

Sky, let us know if this Dymocks place doesn't end up stocking it. That's Edge's problem. It may or may not ever show up there. If a Watcher is unable to get it at all... Well, that's just wrong!

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.

Runes is out in the UK on 21st, and I'm going to Manchester @ 12 Novenber for the signing.

So, if anyone wants a UK version signed then let me know and I'll pick up 2 copies and get them signed.

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!

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*
