Damelon Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Or is Orbit doing this on purpose, reacting to Overlook's delays? Or are Waterstones not so interested in publication dates?

Darth Richard II Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Eh this happens a lot in the US with Orbit books, I think its just Orbit in general doesn't care about street dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odium Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 If someone finds out whether or not Kindle copies become available before the listed date of the 25th, please post here! I live outside the US and the UK so I depend on the digital release and holy shit I dont want to wait another month, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Orbit could be stealing a march on Overlook. Bakker has sold okay for them in the past but not gangbusters, and they may have figured they can pick up a few dozen (or a couple hundred) extra sales this way. It's not quite in the same league as Voyager picking up a few thousand extra sales when they gazumped Bantam's AFFC publication date by over a month though.

That's what I was hoping for, but last year when the book was available in some stores early the ebook didn't come out until official release date, so I'm not holding my breath. The UK version should be released on the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piper Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Horrible business by Overlook to let the U.K. publication come out almost three weeks before they can get the US version out. Count me as another US purchaser who paid the extra for shipping across the Atlantic instead of waiting for Overlook to get their act together.

Hello World Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I would do that if I didn't feel like the book would arrive after it's officially released in the UK, at which point I'll just buy the ebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Uh, books come out weeks, sometimes months, earlier in the U.K. all the time, for as long as books have been coming out. Especially SFF books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially SFF books. Yup. Gardens of the Moon was published in the UK five years (!) before it came out in the US. A Clash of Kings was four months earlier, A Storm of Swords three months. The UK has smaller print runs (generally about 20% of the size of the US ones) which makes it easier to get the required number of copies ready ahead of time.

Do you mean the pages of the font, book or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
