My local Borders Books and Waldon Books both say Resurrection doesn't come out till mid-May. Is Amazon.com REALLY shipping it?

Yes, they are really shipping it. In fact, they ship within 24 hours last time I checked. |

| Had the same problem. I finally found a copy at Mediplay. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I ordered from Barnes and Noble online and got my copy 3 days later. It was a very reasonable price, too.  |

I've seen bookstore employees reading copies at the checkout desk for a week, now. So it's definitely "out there."

Patience was killed in a recent FR book. But, don't worry. I'm sure it will be raised soon to appear in another tome. |

No, no, you've got it wrong. Patience got caught up in the second round of FR god purges, along with most of the rest of the Roman household gods. So we've lost Courage, Fidelity, Patience, and Temperence.
But somehow Prudence is still here... 
PS: For those not up on Roman gods, those were all real ones worshiped in the house. FR isn't the only thing I obsess over... |

Sigh... And now 4e as well. |

My fave household god is the Egyptian god of frustration. Points to whoever catches that obscure reference. |

... Daffy Duck. Michael Garibaldi, security chief of Babylon 5. It is his personal household god  . I think Zack Allen called the reference to G'Kar when Garibaldi went missing after the nuclear attack at Z'hadum.
I remember specifically, because I have the same "shrine" to the god of frustration in my cubicle at work .

No, it hasn't. Because I've just noticed that some overseas online stores have now registered the novel available for shipping in a number of European and UK locations.

See, my point is made. You can hear the laughter coming from the overseas stores right now. |

Why am I not surprised that you got that one?
To stay on topic, as of Friday, my local B&N didn't have Resurrection. |

| I had copies sitting on the shelf last Wednesday at work. Didn't seem to be a problem getting it, and I was surprised it came out last week instead of this week as do most WOTC products. |

| So, I decide to stop by my local Borders on the way home from work. I browse my favorite section looking for a certain anthology. I don't find it, so on a whim, I decide to do a search through their in-store db. Low and behold, the book is listed with a status of "In Store" and points me back to my favorite section. I plan to visit them again at lunch today. I need to speak to the store manager anyway. |
