Sweet. Any hope of separating the EU stuff from the general movie plot stuff? worried

Can anyone confirm/deny whether this is on sale at SDCC?

I would have picked up my copy out there had I been able to make it out (family medical emergency made me cancel the trip at the last moment), but that would have been from Karen. It seems silly to have Karen out there and not able to sign a book that is out...tuesday, right?

So are booksellers selling it? Is anyone at SDCC? Bueller?

If they are selling it at SDCC I'm sure it goes on sale tomorrow with the rest of the Star Wars stuff.

For those wanting to know there is no timeline in the front of the book or sneak peek of the novel by Karen Miller. But essentially the story is what was reported on the main page a little while ago in three parts happy

I have had it on preorder from Amazon and on my account they show it shipping 8/28. On the book page it says 8/26 but if it really was
then they would have sent it already. It would be nice to just get a few spoilers to hold me until it arrives.

No, they're just going to tax "businesses!" So unless you buy something from a "business," like groceries or clothes or gasoline ...
or unless you get a paycheck from a big or a small "business," don't worry ... it's not going to affect you.

yoda, I'm surpised to hear that you couldn't find it anywhere thinking . I picked it up this morning at Borders. Right when I walked in they had everything new for SW on a big display case. Couldn't miss it.

I got it this morning. Was surprised to see it out. Surprised to see there's no screenplay credits or anything in there, either.

Borders had a bunch. Retail $20, but with free rewards zone membership and first day special it was $12.

So far so good!

Ordered from Amazon, but since UPS does not deliver on weekends*, will not have the book until Monday. I did see it in Wal-Mart and was tempted... but then I'd have to hassle with returning one or the other. I've got two finals to complete this weekend anyway. happy

However, willing to be spoiled! Bring 'em on!

*Some UPS services might, but not the Amazon Prime 2-day, apparently.

First bookstore was completely unaware of its existence (and it usually does SW author signings!), second store had a few copies but surprisingly, the Legacy TPB was displayed much more prominently (both stores are LARGE stores). No sign of Clone Wars kid stuff or the Visual Guide in either.
