Desert Spear Hardback Sold Out

Hey all,  just a quick note to say that it looks like the third printing of the US hardcover of The Desert Spear is sold out almost everywhere (Amazon, B&N, most Borders locations, etc.), and with the mass-market paperback scheduled for late February/early March, it is doubtful they will go back on press for a fourth. If you’re in the UK, though, there are no worries. They are on the fifth or sixth hardback printing there, and there are no signs of shortage.

If you are in the US and are looking for a copy, you can still order online from The Book Depository, though I don’t know for how long. Book Depository charges a little more up front than, say, Amazon, but they have free shipping, so it usually evens out.

If you are a brick & mortar store shopper, you can go to borders.com and plug in your zip code in the “Reserve/Check Inventory” search box on the right side of the page, and maybe you’ll be lucky enough to find one of the few remaining copies at a store near you.  (bn.com has a similar feature but for the most part hasn’t had the hardcover since August.)

If any of my readers work at bookstores that have TDS in stock, let me know and I will pimp your store!

  1. Wow, sounds awesome!!! When I bought my hardcover in late April this year (not the German version; original always reads best 🙂 ), I’d have never imagined that it would become a hard to get so fast. Really, really, really great!!!
    Double thumbs up 🙂

  2. Canada’s big book guys Chapters and Indigo (sister companies) still have ’em in stock. Just in case it helps… chapters.ca or indigo.ca.
