RSB confirmed July 5 2016.

So let it be purchased so let it be done!

Just bought it on Amazon. Amazon won't charge you until it ships.

For American consumers, Barnes and Noble did not carry TWLW in stores in Los angeles on release day, Borders did, but Borders died waiting for RSB and GRRM to finish the next books.

I bought on amazon with next day shipping to get closest possible to release date.

Ah, here's the page. I couldn't find this when I went looking for it yesterday, thanks locke.

So, do we think that purchasing all at once will make a change, or the pre-orders all get charged at the same time, regardless, so its not particularly relevant on the order, but rather the shipping time?

I don't know how it really works, but I have Amazon Prime so I'm not in any real hurry, since it will be to me pretty quick.  I might have it sent to my family in NY, because we'll be leaving here on the 7th...

I just bought it too since Locke tipped the domino. Whether it kicks it up the charts or not, might as well go for it now that the date is firm.

I'm assuming that you can pre-order the Kible version, correct?
“No. I am your end. Before your eyes I will put your seed to the knife. I will quarter your carcass and feed it to the dogs. Your bones I will grind to dust and cast to the winds. I will strike down those who speak your name or the name of your fathers, until ‘Yursalka’ becomes as meaningless as infant babble. I will blot you out, hunt down your every trace! The track of your life has come to me,

Yes, the ebook version.

Love the tree flesh. Filling up bookshelves is easier than decorating, but inconvenienct to move around. But retail price is a rare thing .

If anyone is still thinking about this, I now control the purchasing of madness, ciphrank, camlost, and probably mg, for unspecified reasons.

Probably some 7 books I'll be ordering if there are still those that would like to coordinate.

Ok so since asking what people are doing isn't working:

I will be pre-ordering the book March 16th, at 9pm EST. (fyi, DST is that sunday, so don't mess up), probably 7 copies of it.

Anyone who would like to attempt to make a difference, let me know if that time works. I can move it earlier/later if anyone cares.
