The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince

[Farseer]

If my luck fails, then someone's gonna have to read it to me

Pick me, pick me! I've done more than my fair share of RotE readings! Come early 2013, let's Skype or something...though, once we're done, that may cost more than the book purchase.
Kennit's luck to you (at least until *LST spoiler*

I just checked the shipping costs to germany: $ 21,--, which is quite a bit.
Does anybody know if the book will also be sold in the UK when it's out? From there shipping is much cheaper.

[Farseer]

Yes, the shipping is a killer. Still, we won't be able to originally source it from anywhere else so there is no choice.

Just ordered mine too .

So, 2013 will be a good Hobb-year. Blood of Dragons, The willful Princess and the Piebald Prince. Just great

Well, we have been waiting for it for some time and it's almost here!! No firm date yet (sometime early in 2013) but the RotE-based, 37 000 word novella 'The Willful Princess and the Piebald Prince' is due to come out as an illustrated hardback from Subterranean Press.

Here's a blurb from the SP site but please be warned that there are spoilers aplenty for the story so BEWARE if you don't want to be spoiled.

To pre-order your copy (which I advise that you do to ensure that you get one eg like what happened to others who wanted 'A Fantasy Medley' but didn't get it!), please go to this link. I made sure that I ordered mine before telling the rest of the world about it...

Hi, im in the UK where can I pre order it here? I really don't want to be paying so much in shipping! and its not coming up when I search Amazon. I soooooo want this book!!
Thanks

For anyone in the UK looking to pre order Ive found it on Amazon >> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wilful-Princess-..._2?ie=UTF8&qid=1346187283&sr=8-2-fkmr0 But it is showing out of stock at the minute!!! Hopefully they will be able to get more!

I thought Skype was free, or is that if you're skyping in the same country? I dunno. But one way or another, I'll have to know that story!

skype-to-phone isn't free. skype-to-skype is.

littlemizzangry, as much as the shipping costs suck, I personally wouldn't trust amazon to actually have copies when the book is published. If SP manages to sell all their copies themselves, there won't be any left to sell through third parties. If you look at their website, most of the books they print & sell are special editions (only release, signed & numbered, special artwork etc) ... They kind of specialise in special editions. And that's why generally their prices are higher and print runs smaller.

However, this is all speculation as we don't know how limited the trade edition of WP&PP actually is. You might be lucky and get it through amazon after all.

That being said, the data amazon has for that book is rather strange, as it lists "HarperCollins Specials" as the publisher instead of SP, the publication date is for the END of 2013 and they also list a trade paperback...

a real life? is that legal?

on a more serious note... if we do come across anything, we'll inform ya, mervi...
