I cannot believe that you well educated Bond fans have to wait so long.

I think this novel, and future novel's should be released at the same time.

I mean, goddamn it, the USA make-up a Hugh amount of any worldwide sales.

Just checked yesterday at the stores and have a copy ready when the day comes.

Don't understand why we've had to wait nearly two months more than the U.K.

Oh well, the wait hasn't been that bad anyway.

Was it ever even explained why the wait between each release was so?

Nope.

Seems to often be the case with the Bond books lately. The Bensons came out earlier also I'm somewhat sure.

I've been incredibly busy lately and haven't visited CBn in months. Today I checked in and realised that SilverFin was released in the UK, and I'm incredibly jealous.

I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Could probably order it from there if you wanted, not sure how much shipping would rise the price though however.

A good suggestion, but I'm worried by the time the book arrives, It'll have hit US shelves already and I'll have wasted my money on shipping. I suppose I'll just be patient and wait until 27th April, but it's difficult. I'll make due by attempting to start and finish YOLT. And if there's still time before SF's release, maybe I'll reread Casino Royale, just for the hell of it.

Noticed the Waldenbooks by me has a Harry Potter countdown stand. Where's the SilverFin one?

It must have been damaged during shipping and handling.

One can hope.

I don't see much of any anticipation for SILVERFIN in the USA. Look at its Amazon.com sales rank - it's in the 1,000s. I doubt this book will make much of a sp[lash here in the USA. I've already got my UK edition so I will not be purchasing a second copy.

I don't know. As soon as the ad campaign starts, things will probably pick up. Also, with children, when one kid reads a book and talks about it with his mates, the news spreads like wildfire. That's exactly what happened with "H. Potter."

I'm fairly confident SilverFin will be a moderate success in the US.

Well the book isn't out yet naturally as you know. I expect to see a somewhat better ranking once April 27th rolls around for SilverFin. It's the first in a series, so I guess that leads to the point that pre-ordering may not be through the roof so to speak.

[Righty007]

I will contribute to the US SilverFin sales and maybe kids will see me buy it and then get it for themselves.

[DLibrasnow]

We can hope....but it seems a number of the natural readers of this book in the US (Bond fans) have already bought (and read) the UK edition.

Me too. Will definitely be adding the US copy to my collection.

I only buy US editions because I'm a patriot.

Maybe they'll want both versions.

I only buy US editions because I can't afford shipping.
