Since this is the next FR sourcebook release, I was just curious as to whether any of the scribes here had any information on an approximate release date?

Amazon are saying Auguist 1st

But as Amazon always gets stuff late Id say the release date for Gaming stores will be around 15 July

I went to WotC and they say July 2004. But often FR products come out earlier than the announced release date...

Here's the link:

Yeah, online retailers are not that reliable with release dates. I've seen various dates for SK and for the next WOTSQ novel.

Okay then. Since WotC products here in Australia seem to be released within 1-to-2 weeks of them being released in the US, I guess I can assume Serpent Kingdoms will hit gaming stores here after the 23rd.

I often buy from Barne's & Nobles and they list Serpent Kingdoms coming out on the 28th of July. But as DDH_101 mentioned, products usually come out sooner then listed and I've noticed this happening many times with B&N products lately.

Books a Thousand is now listing SK as being ready to ship within 3-5 weeks. In past experiences with gaming products, I have seen this company give this listing about a week or two before it hits gaming stores. I'm thinking late next week it might start to pop up.

As the Lady K mentioned, any US release date for D&D products has to have another week added to it before it's release here in Australia. So, even if it does start to "pop-up" next week in the US, Australians won't have the opportunity to purchase it until after the 10th.

That's even better...

Especially if you earlier theory about Amazon releases proves correct.

I guess we should rename this thread the "Ask Eric Boyd thread"

Yeah, I used to be a manager for them. The in-house system was always on the money, so it must just be a web site precaution. Although we sometimes would get the books about a week before I would see it in the game stores so I could look at them.
