Like many my pre-order is in with Amazon.co.uk Hope they are getting a big delivery. That is the subject of this thread. Are Osprey/SLitherine going to meet the 11th Feb delivery date in the UK. I imagine this is largely a printing and distribution issue, and I would hope that with a company like Osprey behind them the logistics behind the printing should be quite smooth?

Pretty good going, did not think it was released for another 9 days yet!

It isn't officially - it seems that FoG has attracted the sort of early selling that JK Rowling fought so hard against

Nik,

in the case of my local source, it is simply that, since time immemorial, he has received his Osprey publications anywhere up to a month before the "oficial" release date. So naturally, when he received his initial order of FoG - he put 'em out for sale.

No skullduggery involved, unlike what may have been the case with Ms Rowling (I waited for them because I had to.) I've seen 'em - but have to wait until Thursday to pick mine up.

The wait is killing me!
