It's here, it's arrived, and it's finally mine! *bounces*
Seeing as HarperCollins New Zealand is still trying to believe that the mass
market paperback of _Hallowed Hunt_ exists, I had to order it specially, and
there are a couple of bookstores here in Wellington that will do so (and
have some chance of a) believing you when you say it exists and b) having
one actually arrive).
The one I usually use was having immense problems with Baker & Taylor - I'm
kinda confused on the details, but I think B & T seemed to be confused about
the release date.
The other one checked their computers, said oh, Eos is connected to
HarperCollins, and hey Baker and Taylor have 85 in stock. We'll send off
the order now, and it should arrive within a week. So lo and behold I
wandered down there in my morning break on Wednesday and looked pleading at
at the person I was talking to, when she asked if I was desperate enough to
have them check the boxes.
She turned to the other person at the counter unpacking books and asked if
the B & T shipment had arrived yet. The B&T shipment was the one being
unpacked at the time, and TSK was the next book about to be done.
There went my ability to concentrate on my work for the rest of the day!
(What, *wait* to read it? You have to be kidding!)
So it's all mine for the grand total of NZ$50.00 and I am happy happy happy
about this. There was one more copy in Unity Books on Willis St on
Wednesday, but I didn't go in there today, so it might be gone now. Worth
checking, if you're after it.
I am on the second read through now, with my flatmate having read it this
morning while I was at work. And if there are Wellingtonians on the list
who want to read it, email me offlist and we can sort something out.
