*Good god, kid. Put the bloody book down and get some sleep!*


How's it looking this far? Disappointed or elated?

The library was nice enough to drop off my copy this afternoon free of charge :tup: I just finished the first chapter, I love it already!


I started reading last night. I've gotten to Chapter 3 and so far I am really enjoying it! :tup:

Yes..that tennis chapter was awesome!! It reminded me of a combination of the golf match in Goldfinger with the sword fight in Die Another Day. :tup:

Anyone knows the CHEAPEST way to buy Devil May Care in English or Spanish, and the shipping cost for Argentina?

Thanks.

Saw a very nice display of them in a nearby Barnes & Noble. The red dustjacket really makes it a standout.

Maybe we'll hit the Amazon jackpot tomorrow, Professor. Cincy is about 100 miles from me also, who knows what kind of postage they saved for our books to not be delivered 100 miles in several days!

Mine was delivered today. :tup: Plus, I got a notice from Amazon that the price of the book went down from when I pre-ordered - I got fifty eight cents back. Rock on! :tup:

Same here - all around!

The postman waited until my golf league day to deliver. I just got home at almost 10:00pm and the box was waiting on my desk. I'm not in a particularly good condition to read (and remember it) so it will have to wait until tomorrow evening.

Still, very glad to have it in hand! :tup:

Indeed, one of the highlights. It's just so good to have a new Bond novel, to sink ones teeth into.

You don't want to know what us Australians have to do to get the paperback edition in the first place.

Y'know, I think I would've liked the option of a paperback instead of having a hardback foisted upon us - it's just easier to stick in my bag and read on the way to work.

You could get the large print edition, terminus. It's a nice trade size paperback.
