As the title says, does anyone have information on the Australian release of DMC? Or do I just assume that Borders, Dymocks etc will have it stocked May 28th?

Or do I have to go down the avenue of getting it from the UK?

Tks

The person I spoke to at Borders said that it'll be out mid-May. No firm date could be found on his computer though.

My local Dymocks store said they are receiving stock for the 28th, and will contact me if it arrives earlier.

Or earlier. Sometimes books show up on shelves a day or two before the official release date.

The first official confirmation I could find (though nothing on the Penguin site itself):

Well it wasn't at Readings first thing this morning. I will check again at lunch time. I'll be begging at Borders tonight if I can't get it today.

Tomorrow I need to visit the dentist (around the corner from Parramatta Borders) for root canal work, so as a treat I'll get this book afterwards to help lessen the discomfort of it all.

Just to let you all know, BORDERS is selling it for $21.95 from 2 o' clock today

Did a bit of shopping around and they have the best price.

If you go to the Pitt Street store, one of the guys that works there is a HUGE fan, nice bloke too :tup:

Thanks for the news chief.

I wonder if they are all selling it now? (all Borders stores) Couldn't see it anywhere this morning.

Picked it up at Borders, so I assume all Borders have it on sale now.

Can't comment on Dymocks etc.
