Facebook fan reported a Toronto store selling TUC early!

There's 2 copies at Coles in North Bay according to Chapters.ca.

Sounds like I'm going for a motorcycle ride tonight after work....its beautiful outside and I'm on the other side of Sudbury from North Bay. 

The Slog of Slogs!

The motorcycle slog sounded like it was going to be nice. You know, if they're listed online and you show up rather than call (if that journey is short enough to be worth ending in possible disappointment), sometimes books are on the shelves already despite not being shown as "available" in their computers.

Toronto is definitely selling them ahead of time:

Indigo Eaton Centre: 11 in stock
Indigo Yorkdale Shopping Centre: 3 in stock
Coles Beaches: 1 in stock
The Existential Scream
Weaponizing the Warrior Pose - Declare War Inwardly
carnificibus: multus sanguis fluit
Die Better
The Theory-Killer

Best of luck in your ride, Hopper8r. I ended up ordering a hardback copy from Barnes and Noble online and a paperback copy form Book Depository. One of them should be here by Thursday, I can power through over the weekend and finally start looking at, and contributing, to other threads besides this one.  I feel like I'm VERY late to the party here...hopefully the discussion will be on going for a while...so much to read and talk about!

I thought the same before I got my copy - don't worry, there will still be plenty of things to discuss after you've read TUC. :)

The COFFERS boys!

THE COFFERS!!

I took a chance and rode 2 hours.....ignored the pimply kid that told me on the phone it wasn't released until the 25th, walked to the back of store in the measly fantasy section...
..

 Two copies of TUC tucked in sideways!

2 more hours home, one case of monkey butt, and no weepers on the slog!

See you all in a few days!

It's not even worldwide release yet and obviously it's only the hardcores who have found their copies already outside of UK and Europe.

And since I'm off the opinion that readers have just missed so much packed within TAE I expect we'll spend months figuring out and agreeing (or not) upon what happened, let alone what's going to happen.

I've had an order in with Barnes and noble for about a month,  thought I might get it early,  but i still waiting for that call,  so while I wait I decided to review the entire series on Amazon.
The world holds no terrors for me, I stand naked as the falling sword, I am the Terror.

Today is the day one of my two copies should arrive. I'm working from home and much closer to the front door than is reasonably expected...talk about a conditioned path. Well played R Scott Bakker...well played.  Further updates as events warrant.

Good news! My hardcover copy is available for pick-up at the Clayton Barnes and Noble here in super-freaking-hot STL. Unfortunately, I left the house this morning before checking my e-mail AND I also left my 20% discount coupon at home! So, a special trip home is indicated!

That is good news, Beardfisher King! My door bell just rang...and I'm now in possession of my hardback copy. Looking forward to joining the discussions and sharing thoughts and theories.  I will see you all on the other side.
