Found A Copy of Towers of Midnight Early?

[Owayn The Traveller]

Anyone from Ireland find a copy? I know Dubray books in Kilkenny have it and loads if them apparently and the man won't sell early but he is willing to sell at 9 am on Tuesday, bless him.

Why didn't he just say no don't have it? Teasing fecker!

 

There you are. Couldn't pm you back... I'm debating a trip into town Saturday, but would be mighty cross if I didn't get it then. Think I might stick to the spoiler free boards for now, (eyes scalded on one ill-advised nosy on spoiler board), then free for all Tues night. You read fast? Cos I read sooper fast. So there.

Yeah I looked at the spoiler board too, tWas a mistake. Yeah resigned to waiting till Tuesday. Got tue and wed off. Hoping to get it read in them days, prob won't as I have to go to Kilkenny so it would be half day gone before I can start. I'd say I'm a quick reader never had a race. Wanna race?

SORRY LUCKERS, for posting this origonaly in the wrong place. My bad.

 

anyhoo...

 

FML

 

Today is possibly the worst day of my life.

 

So, i went to the local book shope Waterstones where i had pre- ordered my copy of ToM. Only to find out that they had not yet recieved it at this late date, and would not untill about 5.30 on tuesday. Thats bad enough as it is. but wait, it gets heartbreaking.

 

I then went over the road to the other book shop to see if it perhapse had them in stock...and lo and behold, TOWERS OF MINDNIGHT WAS ON THE SHELVE.

 

Shaking, i picked it up, went to the counter payed the £20 for it and started to walk out....just when the woman behind the till called me over. Took the book out my unsuspecting, fan-fanatic hands, and told me she would loose her job as it wasn't available untill the 2nd!!!

 

I went mental and shouted at her about displaying it, naturaly. and then was promptly escorted out by security.

 

I HELD IT IN MY HANDS!!!!!!!!!! FML

 

 

So my next escapade took me a train ride to the capital city Edinburgh, to scour every single book store there but to no luck.

 

 

What would you do, i'm pretty sure my life is now void and i should just end it now, lol jk.

 

 

BUT SERIOUSLY, I HELD IT IN MY DAMN HANDS!!!!!

 

i just wanna cry now

I had thought through a situation like this ever since I called a local store and was assured it was on the shelf, only to be told they couldn't sell it when I showed up.

I am now carrying $40 cash with me while I scour other local bookstores, because I have reached the point where I WILL, without hesitation, throw money at the person trying to stop me and run out of the store.

For people in the NYC area:

Someone on Theoryland said they found some at Port Authority Hudson News and another person confirmed this but said to go to the book corner on the second floor. Good luck!

 

Check out this thread at Theoryland. Someone in Atlanta seems to have found a store.

Any confirmation re: NYC and the Port Authority Hudson News? the one at the bus station?

Man, that's tough to swallow

 

I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that the earliest I can possibly get it is Monday evening, and if my library fails me (it hasn't yet thank the Light) I'll have to drive over an hour to get to a bookstore that has it on Tuesday morning. (and another hour back to get to my WoT reading chair) It'll probably take no time at all to read either, due to a work layoff this week and next week

it happened like 6 hours ago and i'm still in a complete rage about it....imma go to the gym and work it out or sumthing, get back and finish off LoC.

This is what makes the internet and the fact that I live in the middle of nowhere so rewarding.

[ghenjei]

I HAZ IT!!!!

 

NYC people- Port Authority Bus Station, Book Corner on the Second Floor

[Guest DannX]

So i went to my local bookstore to preorder ToM, a week laiter i get a sms saying: The book you ordered has come and is ready to be picked up. So i went to the store and got the book, no problems what so ever. That was this Monday :D

 

I suspect it is beacuse I live in Norway, and since the book is writen in english, they don't check the realse date :D

 

So i finished reading the book this two days ago.

Thanks!

[Seminoles]

Anyone have any ideas where I should look in the Riverside/Inland Empire/ LA/ Palm Springs/Desert areas? It's the weekend! Why don't they release these things on a Friday so people can actually read the darn thing, ugh.

 

What are some oddball locations books are sold at? Should I scour the gas stations? They have books sometimes, lol.

 

 

Well I found the one gem that has it out west, and they sold their last copy this AM. I hate you whoever you are!

[Guest Chukardog]

not true I found a bookstore that put it out early. I didnt realize it at the time otherwise I would have purchased it.

[Guest Chukardog]

as a hint, I cant go back and purchase it as it requires a boarding pass to get through security

[nwash_10]

Hey Guys...sorry for the delay in responding. I've been on the road all day. The bookstore in Philly didn't have ToM in stock. I had to have them order it on Wednesday and it arrived at like noon today(10/29).

So they won't have any in stock and you'll have to order it. My only concern is that even if you place the order tomorrow, ToM won't actually arrive until the Nov.2nd anyway.

[Seminoles]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Victory!!!

 

I got the last copy, but anyone in the SoCal area (I'm in Palm Desert) I found 2 bookstores (both sold out) that had it early within 60 miles of here. So, perhaps next year you can get lucky just PM me and I'll give you the 2 stores if you'd like. Where I just got it *may* still have it but when I asked over the phone he just said ya I got a copy but he may have said ya I have one copy..can't recall, pretty certain no more though so really just trying to be helpful for next year(I'm moving otherwise I'd keep my secrets, haha) so the info is useless to me.

 

It was nuts though, lol. I had to drive through the mountains and had never done it. Came across quite a few WARNING ROCK SLIDE AREA signs, Warning Moderate fire warning signs, narrow bridges, and windy roads..but I conquered that damn mountain and claimed my prize! lol To the chair!!

[killerrabbit]

My quest for ToM has succeeded, thanks to those who suggested the Port Authority Bus Terminal! For those near New York City, this is the place to get it. Go to the Book Corner on the second floor. There was at least one copy left after I bought mine, and maybe more in their storage facility.

 

Thanks to those who mentioned it! It took a three-hour round trip train ride to NYC and back, but it was totally worth it!
