Dammit, I hate these people who get a hold of the book before the release date! Makes me severely cranky!
Mind you, lots of things make me severely cranky. Like lack of chocolate, PMS, not enough chocolate, not being able to get my grubby little paws on books before their release date, not enough chocolate. Things like that.

gotta have connections...that's all...or a BIG budget to play with on Ebay! But look at it this way...there are only 25 more days until WOLP hits the shelves!
AAC - so you got one in the end - so glad. I knew of a copy sent here which was unclaimed for ages and was just about to sidle up to remove it to send over to you when the real owner turned up and claimed it! Damn! Knew I should have nicked it earlier....
I'm re-reading my copy - started again last night. Funnier on the second read because I can now take time to really enjoy it whereas I find that the first reading I want to keep reading to find out what happens. Second and subsequent times the subtleties really start to stand out.
Me neither :(
but does anyone else pre-ordering from amazon.co.uk have a expected delivery date of March? (I remember at least one person saying this, but I'm too lazy to look back and find out meh bad)
I'm hoping it's just a glitch in their system, hope not though, I keep adding stuf to that order, it's up to about £60 so far and is likely to get bigger.....
(Of course I suppose the sensible thing to do would be to email them)
