Most of the UK hardbacks can only be found at used book stores and places like Amazon marketplace and eBay. I guess if you're really lucky, you might find a new copy of Fool's Fate forgotten in some corner shelf on a small shop somewhere, but generally all these titles are "sold out".
The thing that makes it especially difficult to find a decent used hardback copy of Assassin's Apprentice and Royal Assassin is that the prints were limited to about 2000 copies, and reportedly half of those went to libraries etc. So quite a few of the 2nd hand AAs that are sold are not in very good condition as they have been read by lots of people! So before you buy online, make sure to read the details and/or ask the seller questions.
(This reminds me that I should put the rest of Willems book editions info up at the wiki, there are some informative notes for collectors included. So much to do... *sigh*)
