I admit I had sent the publishers a message informing them about my feelings on the design etc. I doubt it would have made any difference. I'm just curious to see what the final product looks like since several sites have varying images.
Has anyone received this yet? I've got an e-mail from Amazon saying they're 'still trying to obtain the item', and I see it's showing as out of stock at Speedyhen and Waterstones. My initial thought was that HC had underestimated demand, and I was going to end up with a 2nd impression, but I'm now wondering if there's some sort of delay with supplying any copies.
I think a delay getting them printed and bound is far more likely than them selling out. The original deluxe edition of 1,000 copies did not, as far as I am aware, sell out quickly.
I went in to my local Dymocks and was told the supplier dates show both 21 November and 1 December. The woman didn't know what the delay was about though. We shall see what the big hold-up is all about.
Thanks. Though how very disappointing. Nothing about this is consistent with the existing deluxe editions - neither the spines, nor the covers, nor the damn slipcase. Seriously annoying
