Amazon.com tells me that I'll get my copy between May 26th and June 4th...but it won't give me an exact release date.

Is there any truth to Amazon.com's allegations? [Wink]

Really? Doesn't publishing take several months after the manuscript is finished? If it isn't finished yet, how can it be coming out next month?

I thought so too muppet. It seems like the publicity alone would take a chunk of time. [Dont Know]

The book is finished, edited, all ready for press. Deseret Book is an amazing publisher and has been gearing up for this publication for a while so they could hit the ground running. I think it will be in stores the end of June or first of July.

Alright! Though I guess this means I definitely wasn't chosen as an advance reader. I am just kidding. Couldn't use a winkey or folks would think that means I am an advance reader.

I guess I should stop checking Amazon eight times a day to see if my copy was shipped out.

Just get it down to a moderate *5* times a day and you'll be pronounced sane. [Smile]

My system at work said today that the book was in transit. I take that to mean I can expect it in my store in Friday or Monday's shipment so be on the lookout! I can't wait!

I got it! They came in to my store today! Try your local Waldenbooks/Borders. Maybe they got theirs as well! [Big Grin] :wanders away to read:

Deseretbook.com has it in stock and ready to go.

(We reported on this at http://www.philoticweb.net/ a nice while ago - more reasons to visit us for your OSC news [Wink] )

I went to reserve this at the library yesterday and it wouldn't let me. But it was only because I forgot I was already on the list! I think I might be first, because it's been months since I could have done that. I even paid off my library fines in anticipation....
*waits, but not very patiently*

Jeez! Amazon is going so slow, it says that it's releasing on July 30th!!!

(but it's also only $16.77) Is the sale price worth the wait??? hmmmmm....

I had to read in the OSC changing styles thread that the lead chapters are up on the home page. Trust me, I looked for them last week. I didn't realize it was necessary to click on the title, and that takes me to the page with the chapters link. [Big Grin] <--is psyched

I got mine yesterday at Borders. I gave up on Amazon and cancelled my order.

I also ran onto a copy of Stone Tables which Amazon couldn't get for me [Big Grin] , so I'm happy.

I just wanted to complain that our book finally arrived, and my wife instantly snatched it up! Oh, the agony! How much longer will I have to wait?

Wow... it has been a loooong time since I've posted on this side of the forum. At least, I can't remember the last time I did. I got my copy from BN.com the other day, although I forgot about using the link on the frontpage. [Frown]

Mine came all wrapped in plastic like they just grabbed it out of the box that came from Deseret. It smelled all nice and new. Love that new book smell. [Big Grin]

I tend to just fire through books, but I am gonna take my time reading this one.
