Post by: Priscellie on August 07, 2008, 09:20:47 PM
Backup (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1596061820/iagonet), the Thomas-centric novelette published by Subterranean Press, arrives October 31st!

Is it just coincidence that it is to be released on Harry's birthday?  ;)

I think it's more of a "Halloween" thing, but maybe!

Yeah, this thread reminded me to tell them my future address, I had warned them it was going to happen.  All is good now.

I got no email. I am now concerned. I've got to flip through my old emails to see if I still have the confirmation now.

It was not a "Your Item Has Shipped" email, but a generic newsletter from Subterranean Press.

Grrrr... can't wait any longer. :: Goes to Subterranean Press's site and orders it::

Now that's two packages of Dresden-y goodness I'm waiting for, the other being the calender, which I ordered via Amazon.com.

Well I went to two different book stores today and they did not have Backup yet. This is a sad thing. I was going to get it for me and as a b-day present for a friend. Now I have to wait and I hate that. I hated waiting this long!

Brick and mortar bookstores will NOT receive copies of Backup.  You can only find it at online retailers.  Order from Subterranean Press (http://www.subterraneanpress.com) or from Amazon, B&N, or Borders through the Jim-Butcher.com store (http://www.jim-butcher.com/store).

As of today, Nov. 2, none of the big sellers (Amazon, Borders, BN, including their online stores) have copies of Backup.  And they have no explanation as to why it wasn't delivered to their warehouses by Oct. 31.  I just found out that it is a limited edition publication.  What on earth were Jim's adivsors thinking?  Well, I am terribly disappointed as I was so looking forward to the first Thomas Wraith story.  Amazon's website says it's a 3-5 week wait, if they can get copies at all.   :(

I tried to get this from the book store they did not have it. Then I tried to get it from the press and they are sold out, the second print is sold out and they are not planning a third release. So is it going to be put out by anyone else? Or am I just out of luck?

Limited Edition? Indeed what were they thinking. I just found about it a couple of days ago and won't have money for months....dang school. LOL... I sit in hope that they will change their minds and have more copies available next year

I just got my copy yesterday and LOVED IT. I would love to hear more from Thomas's point of view.

I finally got my copy yesterday.  I find it to be a good stand alone.
