I always use the address and phone number for a small public library if i'm buying from another country. Very handy if you don't have someone letting you use their address.

Gah! This is so aggravating. Anyone want to make some extra cash and ship me a copy? I already ordered one from Waterston but I'm scared it won't make it in time. I literally convinced my wife to push back our vacation so I could read this book and now it will release a day after I fly out of the country.

No copies in Scotland at all. I went into Waterstones and they checked the system for me and said that there were a few stores down south with copies but literally every store had only 1 each. I can't remember them all but I'm sure they mentioned Carlisle, Cardiff, and a few others if anyone is in those areas. Belfast as well.
Looks like I'll just be waiting on my book depository pre-order :(.
The Princess street one in Edinburgh offered to order me one in, said a couple of days, but they had one in the Sauchihall street Glasgow so just went there instead, another person beat us both to the punch. So we have 3 of us in Scotland.
Where about in Scotland are you?
Post by: Wolfdrop on June 30, 2017, 07:03:44 pm
I've ordered the one in the Carlisle store to get picked up on Argyle Street, so hopefully it's only a day or two!

I wanted to confirm that it worked first before posting my plans here. Thankfully I just checked and the book i ordered last week is already out for delivery so I can spare myself the attempt. If anyone wishes to try and get the book early this way TunnelBear, a popular and, what I read anyway, very reliable VPN service also has a free 7 day free trial. I will try this tonight if my book isn't delivered for whatever reason and share what I find.
EDIT: Just wanted to thank Madness for providing that bookstore with the free preview of the first 2 chapters. It's what gave me this idea in the first place.

So, I made an amazon.co.uk account to get the kindle version... then I remembered I don't know wtf I am doing. To add a credit card to pay you have to use your legit address otherwise it won't work right? So how do you add an UK address on the account so you can download the ebook? Right now it says this service is unavailable to US customers.
No, as long as your shipping address is UK it will work. Your billing address does need to be your real one, but that won't stop you.
Make sure you are fully signed out of .com though, or it won't work.

Probably because your shipping address is a US one? Or you are signed in to .com?

As far as I know, books usually do not have a hard street date (unless they are huge, blockbuster releases), so they should all be available to be sold on arrival. Hopefully you got your hands on one.

BUT! (And i'm not sure if this is ok) if someone has a way for me to acquire a digital version... now(?) I'm all ears.

There's about 6 pages of posts you might wade through.
Forum Navigation 101 :) :
Click on the blue topic link on the main subforum page to go to the beginning of a thread:
http://www.second-apocalypse.com/index.php?board=36.0
That'll take you to the start.
There's a button to the far right of each topic that if you hover over it it says "latest post". Clicking that will bring you to the end of the thread.
You can always navigate to past pages by click on one of the blue page buttons on the bottom left of each page (pro tip, if you click the "..." you can see all the pages"). Dont hit the "previous" / " next " buttons on the bottom right, this will go to a different thread entirely.
Part of this conversation might be useful if you read the next several posts:

I got an .epub from the Australian Kobo store (I'm in Canada) by registering a throw-away email address and paying using Paypal. It's DRM'ed and I had to bring it into my reader through Adobe, so it wasn't entirely smooth & painless, but it's another way of getting a copy in addition to Amazon.

Seems to be happening to quite a few people - just look at the above comments where several people got their date delayed to July 25th. I wonder if it's because they're hardcover rather than paperback copies... (mine is a paperback and seems to be keeping to the estimated schedule so far)

Lol, Wilshire! Wiseblood, I'll shoot you a PM and we'll plan a mini-Zaudanyanicon!

No copies of TUC in Mallorca (Spain), obviously.
And my Amazon (hardcover) purchase delayed to Augut 11th - fuck, fuck, fuck. :-\
As you may know, if you're not fixed on a hardcover edition, you can get the UK TPB or the ebook. That's how I got my fix, anyway.

De nada.
TUC was my very first ebook, since I didn't want to wait any longer for the arrival of the paper version. Normally, I only read books on paper as well. Your patience muscles will be getting quite the workout then. I admire your willpower.

But due to my job (and family issues, hahaha) I have an almost masochistic level of patience.
Anyway, pray for me to the God of Gods.

A heads up for anyone interested...I just called my local Barnes and Nobel to see if I could get lucky and they would have a copy. I was just told that it is out, however, they are not going to get a copy as there are only 59 copies of the book in the warehouse. Just for clarity, I asked if she meant 59 copies for the state of Texas...she, politely, responded with "no, 59 copies for the united states." So it seems I will be making my first e-book purchase...even though it goes against every fiber of my being to do so.
Holy... fuck.

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!

Coles Beaches: 1 in stock

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!!
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.

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!
Yay, BFK! And it's early!
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.

Picked up my copy of TUC today! I've been riding with it in my cab, and I think my passengers see me as some kind of demoniacal necromancer. I mean, who rides around the city reading something called "The Unholy Consult"? Only a demoniacal necromancer, right?
Yay nice one mate :)

huskylord, coming to Zaudunyanicon? (http://www.second-apocalypse.com/index.php?topic=2175.0)
Yeah, Canada seems to be SOL regarding an ebook. Most members have figured out a way to finagle an ebook from Amazon.co.uk, .com, or kobo.com.

It was funny. I called in ahead to ask that they reserve a copy for me just to be on the safe side. The guy, who to his credit did end up successfully placing the hold for me, had to ask me multiple times what the title of the book was like his brain just couldn't process a novel called "The Unholy Consult."
Lol, I've heard one or two similarly humourous stories from people booking rooms for Zaudunyanicon.
The front desk just isn't able to hear and process that name (good job, Wilshire, confounding people with your brilliance ;)).
I have to wait ten (at least) days more to have my copy from amazon.es, sweet Sejenus give me patience.
You'll make it, Woden. The day will be upon you and suddenly the moment will pass and you can begin your journey through the pages of dead, tattooed trees :).

I usually read my books on the phone, the above screenshot is on my PC. I have a portrait monitor for coding but it also comes in handy for reading.
I had to repurchase the books for my reread last June as I originally had the books up until TWLW on my Kindle, but forgot my login. I had a few years of little to no books read due to going full blown workaholic around 2012.
Somewhat annoyed about the cover of TDTCB being different, but I got that before changing shop regions. Also I have no idea why TJE's cover is all blurry like that.
And yeah, I'm mostly an ebook as it's quicker to get the books as well as an issue with availability in this country.

The sranc take Amazon.es!!!, I will never buy another book from them. Now they tell me that I will receive my TUC copy in a fucking week when it was supposed to be received today. And they give me no fucking explanation. I will descend upon them as a hunger.
¡Qué raro! I've had much better experiences with Amazon. Although I've never used Amazon.es. Usually their customer service is top notch, what's up in Spain?!
Post by: Woden on August 11, 2017, 07:54:45 pm
It's curious because I've bought other books in Amazon last week and today they have told me that they are sending them to me next week, and this is ten days earlier than told me when I've made the order.

I was waiting for the courier in my office (although I am on holiday) all the morning. When the secretary left I was still waiting another hour to no avail and then I went home to have a lunch. Obviously (lol) the courier came when nobody was there, in lunchtime. Hopefully I was able to locate the place where the book was and LO! there I ran and grabbed it!
My precious!!!
I love the smell of new book, almost good as the smell of a new car, lol.

Having an actual physical book just feels better. Plus you can always make notes if you want to, and/or add those diacritic marks and circumflexes that are missing (I'm definitely guilty of the latter). ;)

Lol, you would have fit right in at Zaudunyanicon ;).
I wish I could remember such minutiae as dates and circumflexes. Alas, my understanding of the world and the books are much simpler.
