I signed up and never even saw the email. I suspect they sent out emails in a first come first serve order until they were gone?
Emails from newsletters tend to be sent out in alphabetical order, hence why I received FS's email over an hour after the sale started, and an hour after it sold out. I wasn't buying one so harm done to me, but having a 'W' surname means I get newsletters late on a regular basis.
Yeah, seems plausible. I got the email at 16:06 GMT whilst the book was still technically available.
A lesson to those who want to be alerted first via newsletters, call yourself Mr or Mrs Aardvark
There is a reason for all those "A1 Plumbing supplies" type names -- got you to be the first in yellow pages when that was a thing.
I think in the case of something like this, anyone waiting for an email was probably going to be out of luck. I had a feeling they would open the site a little early. Even HarperCollins did that back in the Children of Hurin days, which is how I scored #3.
