Re: The Shepherd's Crown - No Spoilers in this thread please
I don't know what region Australia would be in. As for broadcasting (DVDs and so forth), we're in region 4 - is it the same for publishing? I would say probably not. :|
We usually get Terry's hardbacks about a week or two after they're released in GB... possibly because they're ordered as soon as they're available, but it still takes a week or two for the books to actually GET here. Dratted geography, moan, grumble, complain.
Hardbacks stay on the bookshop shelves for about a year before we get the paperbacks, which I assume is fairly standard, right?

The U.S. cover is an abomination in comparison to the UK cover. And they position it as "A Tiffany Aching Adventure" instead of "A Discworld Novel."
The only saving grace is that the U.S. version will be available only a couple days after the UK version. Still, I'd really like to get my hands on the UK version, even the limited edition...

Thanks for the heads-up, Tony. The UK edition wasn't up on Amazon.ca a couple days ago but it was today, so I ordered it. Because of the favorable $US, the total book plus shipping price of US $24 was less than the book plus shipping on the US site--and I get the "real" version instead of the bastardized US version.
Now the next step will be to figure out how to get a 1 free audiobook no-cost trial deal by signing up again for Audible.com. I'll do anything to avoid the monthly fee.

Not spoilers, but Penguin Books has some "exclusive deleted scenes".
