Another sold for ~$30 on ebay on 5/28.

Another one. From our friend early in the thread that canceled his second auction. It's at 25ish right now.

That's number 8.

And that's makes... four for the forum, three for the Abyss, and this eighth undetermined.

This one is reasonably priced but I don't think it is worth it any longer, by the time it arrives the book will be out in about two weeks. We have waited years for this, the slog of slogs, and we have entered Kuniuri the ancient walls of Sauglish and our holy library in the distance. Five weeks to go.
The world holds no terrors for me, I stand naked as the falling sword, I am the Terror.

None of them are worth it in my mind. I'm completing the slog. No shortcuts.

When i was 18 myself and 2 other friends decided to walk the 25 miles home instead of getting the night bus. 5 hours and 30 odd mins later another friend going to work in his car passed us came back and offered us a lift the final 2 miles, which my other friends wanted to take. I declined as i had walked that far and my 2 other friends walked it with me.

This happened 19 years ago, and we talk intermittently about this event. No one ever says "i wish i had got in the car".

How's that for a rationalisation :)

Lol - that's a great anecdote about restraint and willpower ;). Too soon TGO will be unleashed on an unsuspecting world.

If you're not the "bitten" then you're the "herd". Slogging isn't for everyone :P

Oh I don't want an ARC to read. Reading would ruin the thing. I want it to display on my shelf with the rest :).

Love it, themerchant. Slogging isn't for everyone.

I imagine an ARC would look great on your shelf.

I think it would look great as a photo on SFFDen with a spoiler free review attached to it! :)

Lol - I think you think that the book would look good with you in a bath. I'm not sure I can concur directly ;).

Seconded.
