if I may say so, EEE!

The first copy of Corambis arrived this morning, courtesy of the FedEx ninja. I've put it on the shelf with the other three where, I have to say, it looks fabulous.

Sometime between now and April 7, therefore, more copies of Corambis will show up in bookstores. I wish I could give you more precise information than that, but I can't. Official publication dates, like the Pirates' Code, are more guidelines than actual rules unless you are J. K. Rowling, which I most certainly am not.

(EEE!)

I wish I could get it sooner but B&N and Borders won't have it until the official release date and are shocked if you even mention seeing it sooner. Grrr.

As a Borders gal--it's because our distribution centers absolutely never mail us the books on time if you aren't famous. Usually we don't get ahold of SFF books until a week after their release date. Lucky day if it's on the release date, and an amazing rarity if it's even the week before. We only get JKR/Stephenie Meyer/Stephen King the week before their date, generally.

I agree it's pretty irksome when there's something you really want and you unpack all of the receiving only to find it hasn't shown up on time. I wish they would, you know, pretend they cared about customer satisfaction. (I love my store, but not my company. *g*)

Ah. Well, I guess I'm just lucky I get on the date it's supposed to be out then. *shakes head* Borders...you used to be so good.
