That's what I've been keeping an eye on - quite expensive to NZ at the mo (NZD $179 / 128 USD).

Just looked up the tracking, says it's at customs in New Jersey...been there several days. International shipping is crazy right now y'all.

Blackwells are the cheapest I found (73.11 Euro - $85.50 USD)

Just ordered - thanks for the heads-up!

Seems I did not fare so well. Received my copy from Amazon.uk a few days ago, just got home to open it today. Alas, torn up front inside binding. The whole of the book actually sits loose within the front and back covers. I assume if I contact Amazon.uk to get a replacement copy, I'll have to pay shipping back to them, as well as lose my 1st printing?

You won't have to pay return shipping (or at least if you do, they will then refund it once they receive it - just keep the tracked postage receipt). Just get approval to return it first. I imagine you will have to wait for a reprint, though. So you may just want to return it and get a refund if that is a problem (and just source one from elsewhere).

Thank you, Stu. Wondering if it might help to contact Harper Collins directly as well?

If Amazon will not replace the item then you would contact HarperCollins, if you contact them know they will just ask you to contact Amazon first.

Thank again. Spoke with Amazon UK, they cannot offer an exchange, because they have no more stock, and have no clue when they are getting more in stock. But they gave me a 25% refund reimbursement.

Another question, is there a definitive way to tell what the real 1st printing on this edition is, by looking at the copyright page?
