UK books

has the EU come to a complete standstill in the UK. I havent even seen Refugee yet, never mind the BF books. i missin so much

 

Nobody but specialist stores - Forbidden Planet in particular - seems to get in the Scholastic books, such as BF books. And Refugee has been out for aaaages in bookstores.

 

i honestly havent seen FHII anywhere..i travel all over the country and not seen it. not looked in the last fortnight tho

 

I found it in Waterstones, but that is the ONLY place.

 

It isn't just you Tod.

If I want to I can get FH2 in London, but that's the only place I've seen it in. My local stores (Essex) equals zip.

The BF books and other Scholastic ones have always been:

1) Tricky to find

2) Over-priced at £3.99 per book!

Nor is it just books, both JEDI & REPUBLIC issues have been a week late in getting here too!

I've had to get all the Fett books from Amazon - mostly UK, but #2 was so late on UK I ordered it from Amazon US and paid the extra.

My local Books Etc (Middlesex) has Refugee, but I had already gotten it at Forbidden Planet in London. And Murder One in London can be quite good for sci-fi as well. Don't count it out! They actually had the first Fett book but I had already gotten it online.

I have yet to see 'Tatooine Ghost' in either the Ottakars or Books Etc in town - had to get that at Forbidden Planet also.

However, I did find the 'Infinities:ESB' GN fairly easily at Books Etc. Thought I would have to wait or order it online. And Books Etc seems to be right up to date with the 'Long Time Ago' series.
It seems to be very hit-and-miss.

 

And I thought my locals were bad! They had TG on time.

Nice to see someone else knows about Murder One, great little place that looks nothing like a SF bookshop, then you go inside and into the basement and bang! Aladdin's Cave...

I thought Aladdin found Robin Williams in a lamp?

 

I havn't seen Refugee in any bookstore yet



I managed to snap up the only copy of TG in my local but thats it

 

im in london fri so i'll have to pop to FP in charing cross

fingers crossed

 

I live in Northern ireland, and i find it really hard to get Star wars book, but a Forbidden Planet has just opened up and so mesa happy.

P.s, FH2 is an Amercian edition so thats why you wont find it in most bookshops around the UK except for Special stores such as forbdden plant or stores with amercian contacts.

Nope, my FHII is a UK edition, bought on May 1st. You can tell because US books are a shade shorter than UK books (which makes my NJO books uneven, since I have one US one), and of course the price on the back is in £ instead of $.

 

Well , Waterstones informed me that they could not get hold of a british publisher and that i would have to order it from another major company.

So i am guessing very few Bookstores could find british publishers, so your must have be one of the lucky few.

 

BF?

 

BF = Boba Fett. We are referring to the (so far 3) books telling Boba's story between AOTC and III. So far there are
'Fight to Survive', 'Crossfire', and 'Maze of Deception'. 'Hunted' is due out around October. Though written for young adults, they are very good, and worth reading.

TOD - check out Murder One as well when you are in London. It is on Charing Cross Road just up from Leicester Square Tube Station as you head toward Oxford Street/Tottenham Court Road. When I do a bookstore run to London I usually go there first and then walk up to Forbidden Planet on New Oxford Street. Also the Books Etc right before the Oxford Street intersection carries 'Insider' magazine if you are interested in that.
(Murder One is a good store - have known about it for awhile. Carries mystery and romance books upstairs and sci-fi downstairs. They get a lot of US imports before they come out in the UK).

 

Well I get most of my books off of Amazon, but I have seen FH1 in Smiths.

 

I got my copy of FHII at Waterstones, but the price has gone up to £6.99 since Remnant

 

woohoo...back of the net!!!

1 trip to waterstones in oxford st and i managed to bag FHII, shatterpoint and tottoine ghost. blitzed em all in a week and have had a certain degree of faith in the EU restorred.

 

FH II has been on the shelves of my local Smiths and Waterstones since it's day of release and I'm getting FH III on the 4th of July, checkout the link in my profile for the UK books:delayed or missing thread, always a good pplace to go to see whats avaialble in the UK
