Canada seems to be ahead this time?

Since Canada gets either the UK editions or US editions, not so much. Amazon.ca is just lagging behind.

I wouldn't be surprised at this date, although it will be annoying if we get four major SFF releases almost simultaneously (Lynch and Rothfuss are due at the same time, Sanderson in the UK with his Way of Kings series as well). Of course, it is Amazon, so should be treated as having the same reliability as the Titanic's ability to dodge icebergs.

Pat has contacted SE. Apparently SE should turn in the MS in mid-June, and the release date will be worked out then. This new Amazon date could be accurate, or it could still be the end of this year, or it could be something completely different. Stay tuned.

So the book will most likely come out towards the end of the summer or fall. But that is just in the UK right? So for me to get the book at the same time as most ppl I'll need to order it off amazan.uk or something?

Order from bookdepository.com

They do free worldwide shipping regardless of the size of your order. And you can order UK or US versions of books! It's awesome!

NO SHIPPING FEES?!
Holy shit, that just cut the cost of the book for me by half. Great thanks, mon!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

hmm just had a look on amazon uk and no date, but on an interesting note it says the book will only be 509 pages!? for the final chapter of the series this seems very short especially considering that if so i think it would make it the shortest book by SE throughout the entire series? Hopefully and most likely theyve just got it wrong

Just as the Man's Language-which Mongora called gibberish-was beyond her ability to understand. The reason for that, Iskaral Pust knew, was that the Man's Language was gibberish, designed specifically to confound women." - BH

That's just a random number. Dust of Dreams was listed as 509 pages as well, but it's 912 or something. So don't worry, from looking at Erikson's latest novels I'm pretty sure TCG will be around the same page count as the latest ones.

They had DoD to me in like a week. UK to Canada.

The only catch worth mentioning is that while BookDepository will get the book, and will ship it free, amazon.uk will have it sooner if TCG is handled the same way as previous MBFs. To my utterly guesstimating non-scientific estimate which anyone is free to contradict, the difference runs at about 2 months.

I asked in store at my local Waterstones yesterday and they told me that the hardback would be released in the UK during January 2011.

I really hope that is just the publishers being very pessimistic.

Yup, it's official. Steve's editor told Pat that The Crippled God has been pushed back to January 2011.

At least we know what the most mind-exploding moment of 2011 will be...although a part of me howled in despair, you just know this is going to be nothing short of spectacular.

Just pre-ordered The Crippled God and Stonewielder from Amazon-UK. Total is 26,98lbs or stlg or whatever for each book. 20 for the book and 6.98 for shipping. The free shipping promotion does not extend beyond United Kingdom

Is that for hardcover and trade paperback?

Hardcover. IIRC as of DoD they started delaying the tradeback for a few months until after the hardback had been out.

Not so with the UK edition at least. Bought tradeback from the store in norway the same week it was released.

And in the US, Tor releases the HC and TPB at the same time.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

Just heard about the delayed release date. Not too big of a deal, either way I'm sure I'm going to be paying 50 some dollars to get it in the US, but delays do suck. At least I know I'll be done with my reread of the series by then.

Oh, and Amazon just changed the number of pages to 848. Not sure if they're just guessing again, but that sounds about right to me.

uhm, that should be 'stuff.' My stiff is never nihilistic.
