Get there as early as possible. There will be a huge queue. At least two hours earlier will get you in the queue - possibly near the front.

Cheers, appriciate the help.

Hayling Island Bookshop

Just found out that this signing is only available to those with tickets and these have already been given out so it looks like Piccadilly it will have to be.

Hi samvimes - yes, the shop on Hayling Island really is tiny. I think I read that they are so small they can only stock one of each book.

Let us know how you get on at the Piccadilly store. Have you decided what you're going to say to Terry yet?

Erm ... if they can only stock one copy of each book ... who got the only ticket to the signing?

Terry of course! He fancied a nice quiet day out by the seaside.

Tesco

As this book is not out till the 8th wasn't it nice to find my local tesco ad a full shelf last night.

Hope there are no prizes for weekly sales (mon-mon) as this can really split the figures

pm if you want a copy posted

Hi Swan and welcome!

I'll have to take a trip to my local Tesco I think. A long story, but Tesco putting their Pratchett books out too early is the reason that I got married last year.

 

[silverstreak]

Strolling through asda this morning I was rather surprised to find the long awaited Nation on sale.After a long debate with myself I finaly decided I might as well pick up a copy.The wait at the checkout seemed as long as I can ever remember and as I left the car park I think I laid some rubber down.So here we are on Sept.the fourth a proud owner of the long awaited tome.Let the joy be unconfined.

 

[Tonyblack]

"Long debate"? I can't wait!

 

[chris.ph]

another jack welcome onboard swan. preordered mine from amazon and im now waiting very impatiently!!!!

 

[The_Discworldaholic]

Got mine today from waterstones for half price which is excellent so im going to read it again, (read the proof already) But im shocked about the ltd edition copy only available at two stores and ive got no chance of getting one, even when some get offered on ebay i bet they go for silly money, bang goes the complete collected UK editions works of Terry Pratchett, im not a happy bunny.

 

[Tonyblack]

I know what you mean.

 

[Tonyblack]

I have to say that I'm not wild about the US version of the cover.

 

[The_Discworldaholic]

i agree, generally the US editions are poor, but no matter its the UK editions which are the important ones, and theyre the ones WE get

I remember feeling quite pleased about it myself, but Tony, I wouldn't go that far

 

[Tonyblack]

I did and I've just been out this morning in the pouring rain to get two copies of Nation from Tesco at £8.49 each. One for me and one to take to Tucson next month for the missus.

 

[Jarmara]

I ordered mine from Amazon last night, £8.50 and reduced rate on Folklore of the Discworld too. Ok, I'll have to wait but I have the new Eoin Colfer to keep me occupied til it gets here.

 

[Dotsie]

I'm glad you said that, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed! Now if I go out to get it, & Nation is on the shelves, I'm going to have a problem

But there are worse problems!
