<HTML>I've been trying to find a copy too. It seems that the Canadian distributor is General Distribution (part of the Stoddart empire which is under bankruptcy protection).</HTML>

<HTML>My Dad checked at one of the bookstores in Canada and found that it has not been distributed yet:(
I will just have to wait a couple more months for the release in US.</HTML>

<HTML>Just order it from the UK...shipping isn't that much more expensive than ordering domestically. How's your exchange rate for British purchases right now? Ours isn't "horrible" but not great either. I couldn't wait for the US version. I don't think it's due out until January '03! Can you wait that long? :-) Besides, if you're a die-hard fan, you wouldn't wanna wait anway!
Amazon.co.uk has decent prices on the paperbacks and Ralph Spurrier at Post Mortem Books in London (see Jasper's links) was able to get me a signed hardcover copy. Maybe he can get you one too. Besides, they're collectors items! Mr. Spurrier even called me in the US to do my credit card over the phone since I didn't want to send it via email. I think that's pretty cool.
Good luck!</HTML>
