Certainly better than these beings will write. Poetry. Bah. Give 'thul a moose to eat instead.
Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.

Actually, finella, I think I said previously that The Book Depository had the paperback version listed as out today (yesterday here in Australia), and only the hardback is not out until April. It's still coming up as being 'unavailable' on the site though, while the hb is available for pre-order...so not sure what's up with that!

Probably differences in local publishers or something like that.

Weird. Typically, in the US, only Hardbacks come out first. You know.. because they're more expensive. Publishers will generally wait 6-12 months before releasing a trade paperback version. ![]()

Maybe they wanted to sell heaps of paperbacks...those who collect the hb will likely buy both...the pb because they can't stand the wait and then the hb for their collection...well that's what I'd do if I bothered to collect the hb copies. HOT OFF THE PRESS: A fellow Aussie on the Newsgroup went to a local bookstore to purchase a copy of AA for a friend and City of Dragons (UK) was on shelves. ![]() Of course, TBD must have had it right (I had my doubts so that's why I've waited) so now I'm stuck here...though I think I may just drive the 1200kms to the coast and back tomorrow. Too late in the day to get there before closing now... HOORAY! City of Dragons is here!!! ![]() ![]() ![]()

1200km is quite a drive... 38 889.3179 femtoParsecs, to be exact. Yes, that is a unit of distance measurement. Parsec (3.26 lightyears), multiplied by 10-15. 1 femtoParsec = 30.8568025 meters A most useful unit of distance measurement.
