Wasn't sure where else to post this so thought to post it here.
I have noticed that a number of the high count posters are from Australia and this post is aimed at them.
I live in Brisbane and have noticed that for around a year or so now, when new FR novels are released bookstores do not get them immediately. It takes at least six months for the book to come out. By bookstores I mean QBD, Dymocks, Bookworld/Angus and Roberts.
For example, before I left for holidays in early August the most recent novel available from these bookstores was Realms of Elves.
So I was wondering is this occuring only in Brisbane or the other cities in Australia as well? And if it is occuring, where are the Australians getting their novel fix from?
I purchased a number of novels while I have been on holidays, but still have the Fighters series to get and the new ones when they come out.

In terms of the 'chain' bookstores, yes they take ages to stock the various titles. I use my local RPG/hobby store for novels that I really want and find that they are about a month behind the USA.

Galaxy Bookstores is a reliable source for me.
Milsims is reliable for FR and DL novels also, but they can take quite a while to ship in older novels. |
