Could have put this in the CoD thread but thought it would gain more attention here... Smiling

Go to this link for a chance to win one of ten early copies of the new hardcover of City of Dragons as well as paperback editions of RWC Volumes One and Two: Dragon Keeper and Dragon Haven - Robin Hobb Give-Away

Good luck and tell us if you win one!!!

Hmm... interestin'...

Worth a try. Most likely 'thul will not win, but still...


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.

Gotta be worth a shot! Though, as I can't even win an argument on a good day, I don't hold out much hope...ever the optimist eh!

Might be, but there's nothing stating that that 'thul could find.

I take it the competition is to win an American version of the book? I only ask because I've often wondered what the difference is between that version and the UK version and hence why I need to wait until April instead of February..

Yes, it's for a US copy, fool-ish.

As for the differences, it's mainly just the spelling choices (here we go with the useless 'u' thing again! Big Grin) as far as I can tell. I did also learn from the Newsgroup recently that apparently the maps differ between the UK and US versions as well, so I will be interested to see what the differences are as I'm not waiting until April for the UK version...as I've said before, what's an 's' or a 'z' between friends? Of course, I may likely purchase it sometime later, just for the sake of my 'collection'.

I also know that in Dragon Keeper or Dragon Haven (or possibly even both), there was a list in the front of the book matching up the names of the keepers to their dragons, and this list didn't appear in our UK version.
