    I went to Angus & Robertson Taree yesterday and asked about my book on order (DW ofcourse). The girl brought it up on the computer and told me that they were only printing the books TODAY (22 Oct). Great so they have only just printed them. She said to expect it within the next 7 - 10 days.

    If anyone can confirm this it would be great, this IS what she told me, but safer to remain pessimistic and not get hopes up to high.

    I asked my bookstore in Sydney and they said End of the Month

    They said it was originally going to be 1st October but got pushed back

    Which is okay for me

    :) No MORE ENGLISH :)

    I ordered DW and Darksaber from my local bookstore about a week and a few days ago. I've just been informed that Darksaber has arrived, yet DW will not be in until next month, as that is when it is published!?!

    I'm happy that at least one of the books has come in, and that I have some peace of mind and less uncertainty about when Destiny's Way will arrive. But it doesn't mean I'm not angry...

    Why are we Aussies so deprived of getting the books on time?

    :mad: :mad: :mad:

    On Friday I was told by collins that DW had arrived in their warehouse and it was to appear on shelf soon. The only uncertainty was when exactly this week the book would arrive at the store i had ordered DW from My guess would be Wed to Fri of this week I will have the book.

    There is a reason for DESTINY'S WAY being so late to be released in Australia. It WAS supposed to arrive a day or two after the American date in stores Australia-wide. BUT when they printed off the cover jacket here in Oz, it came out with the wrong colours. SO they had to go and fix it up. How do I know this? My Angus & Robertson store told me because I kept on bugging them so they made a few phone calls. They told me Tasmania (where I live) should have it by Friday THIS week. The Mainland will have it by Wednesday because we are further away. Good luck guys.

    I was just in Angus & Robertson (Geelong store), wagging Psychology, and I dropped to my knees and prostrated before the glory of the 4 copies of Destiny's Way I saw on the shelf. Unfortunately I only had $35 on me, not the $39.95 which they bleed out of us for an NJO HC.
    So, I'll get it tomorrow..

    I am currently on holiday, in Darwin visiting my parents, and sweltering in the heat!

    I will try look for Destiny's Way in a few book stores tomorrow... I hope I find it! I would love to spend the rest of my holidays sitting by the pool and reading a new Star Wars novel!

    Why, oh why now ? With about a week to my Year 11 exams, i am more or less bound to study for them instead of spending constructive time reading a book :(

    However, come two weeks time (or possibly Melbourne Cup day, are bookstores still open then ?) i will be free to read it :)

    Most unfortunately, due to the carelessness handling of spoilers recently i've been spoiled for some of the juiciest info :(

    I know what you mean, DaJames. I have all my Yr 11 exams packed into 3 days.. what a bugger of a setup.
    I've been spoiled of most of the DW plotline too.. I really have to stop doing that.
