My book came yesterday in the post. Didn't realise it was in the foil wrapper. I've decided to keep it in the so cool wrapper and then buy another one where I can take it out the wrapper and read it.

You got it already? I'm jealous! Did you do express shipping?

Mine says it'll arrive on the 10th or 11th. But maybe I get it today as well?

Where's that mailman?

No. I ordered it with regular shipping. But, I also live about 3,000 miles closer to the UK than you do zencat.

Just read the prelude in the London cemetary. If this book is even half as good as the excellent Blood Fever then I will be a very satisfied customer.

Hey zen, since I ordered it from a link on your website, does that mean you get some pennies from the purchase? :angry:

Had I known (or perhaps thought about it) I would have gone through your site before purchasing. :angry:

That's okay. You can buy Book 4 via my store. :D

I just got my DOD today. Woohoo! I'm very happy to see the foil wrapper can be resealed (like the collectors cards) so there's no reason to buy an extra copy to leave sealed.

Yes, I noticed that too...I have the foil wrapper off on one side waiting for me to return the book to it once I am done reading it.

I always amazed people growing up that I could read a paperback without leaving any creases in it. They could always be sold later as brand new books. :cooltongue:

So, after reading it I plan to return it to the foil wrapper to be sold as brand new at a later date.

Hmm, that's odd. I'm convinced the copy I bought could not be opened and then resealed (in fact, I had to take to mine with a pair of scissors). Surely they wouldn't have released two types of foil packaging?

Anyway, the book's been flying off the shelves here. Everytime I've been in a bookstore since Double or Die has been released, people are purchasing multiple copies. Glad to see it's doing so well!

Interesting to finally know exactly how many of the foil-wrapped copies are out there.

Quite a few... :cooltongue:
