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.

Damn..... I just spent nearly all my student budget on a proper new computer and so will have to scale down my ambitions. But I'll have to get one of the limited edition ones. US$300 is just out of my league. Damn, Damn Damn!!!

Wrap them in plastic and put on the shelf. $300!! a little too high for me when that would buy food shopping for a couple of months.

The other half would murder me and then i wouldn't be able to read or stroke said limited edition purchase.
I need something else.
Perhaps i could sell my old CD's to drum up some cash??? ( Muses )
Any body on this forum who likes Rap? From 1970 to 1995 i have about 200 CD's. I don't listen to it anymore but my children can pull off impressive Cheek lifts and crazy legs.

Bill told me that the cover art should be available around September.
Don't know if Subpress will make the rest of the artwork available. . .

Oh great. So we will not see the art, and the cover will also not be available for some time? That means I have to buy the thing unseen if i wan't to have it!? Because i don't think the supply will last until september...
Great!

They did last I checked. Which was these last few minutes. I just used Amazon's "search inside" thingie, found the TOR edition of GotM, and searched for words such as armour/armor, centre/center, defense/defence etc. Only found the Americanized spellings.

I misspoke then. I checked the copy of MoI (Tor mmpb) I have with me, and it has 'armour' and 'grey' in the first few pages I flipped thru. So I assumed...

I checked some further. GotM and DG has Americanized spelling, the rest does not. Funny that, I guess they just don't prioritize Malazan enough to spend time on changing it. That, or they've just realised British English is superior.

It may be that they just want to get it out asap because it's a priority. They probably get an electronic file to typeset, so search/replace shouldn't be difficult. Or they figure their discerning readers have good judgment/judgement.

I've put my order in for the $125 one (which I'm paying $100 for - yay for discounts!!), but it didn't mention anything about postage and handling. Surely they don't pay for it? :confused:

That's another thing do these prices include shipping and handling? If so thats super
K I just checked...it's not. I gotta pay $10 bucks extra for shipping to Canada. It's $17 for international shipping other than Canada and you Americans get it for free, as I assume its relatively cheap for them to ship within the country.

Check with Subpress. . .
I figure that the shipping charges will be added to your credit card and will appear on the invoice you'll receive.

Shiara if you payed by paypal then u probably didnt get shipping in there as it has be calculated and i dont think paypal gives you options like that. So yeah ask em, cause i dont wanna pay for shipping if i dont have to.
