Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
I bought a UK edition in AbeBooks from Paperbackshop UK, which are the same as Book2Anywhere. They refund me now because they said they have in stock and now confirmed me they are receiving new stock tomorrow, which won't be first print.
I talked to someone at Oblong and she said the books they have online are on order.

I suppose I took "Available in our warehouse" to mean it was actually sitting in the warehouse and available.Originally Posted by becca69
I sent an email inquiry and am awaiting their reply.
If it isn't a first I am a little bummed because I could have purchased two more UK editions earlier.

The Cuckoo's Calling has been deleted from Foyles website:

A part of me tells me "That's good! That means they are out of 1st printings, and you purchased one before they deleted them", but the other part...
....makes me paranoid that it might still be a 2nd edition. Right?A part of me tells me "That's good! That means they are out of 1st printings, and you purchased one before they deleted them", but the other part...
Yes. I am too paranoid, but also I am too negative, so the best thing you can do it is ignore most of my warnings....makes me paranoid that it might still be a 2nd edition. Right?A part of me tells me "That's good! That means they are out of 1st printings, and you purchased one before they deleted them", but the other part...
I mean, the first option is what I already said.
The second option is:
They have X in stock, and received Y orders, with Y > X. Then, they will ship the first X and to Y-X, they will make them wait until they receive the 2nds printings. Meanwhile, they delete the books from their store, to avoid more conflicts.
They don't actually have their own warehouse. The girl I spoke to said they order from the publisher's warehouse.

So, it's a 2nd printing for sure, right?
She wasn't sure but the books are all on order from the publisher, so it sounds like that is the case. I'm going to call next week and see if they got any 1sts in. They said their order was placed a few days ago and they never had any in store.

Oblong just confirmed the books are backordered.
I canceled.
On the bright side my two UK editions have already shipped. I'm telling ya I should have just bought four UK editions.

Yes, you should have Brian!
I will wait for Foyles, but I think they won't be 1st.
That signed copy on ebay made the news here.
Tried ordering from a semi-local store last night that listed an unsigned US 1/1 in stock, but an email from them today indicates that it is on order. Sounds like that will be a 2nd printing.

I found what appears to be 3 UK editions in stock in Australia. No shipping options outside of AU.

I wonder do they still clip the prices off UK dustjackets in Australia.....?
It says those are paperbacks.I wonder do they still clip the prices off UK dustjackets in Australia.....?
With 20 hours to go the eBay auction is at $3100!!!
19 different bidders and 73 bids! Amazing.

The unsigned first is $635.

...Or ten.

This is absolut amazing...
Those signed editions were sold for 19Pound? This is nice plus ^^
Well, so far it looks like I have a US first on the way from an Amazon seller but have been cancelling a lot of orders today. Guess I should just be happy with the one...
Lurker, you should be happy with a one. I would be more than happy if I'd had a 1st US and a 1st UK. The signed and the proof copies can wait
That's incredible!
How high can it go? It's the only signed copy currently listed and the hype is huge, think it will hit $5,000?

I found this:
http://biblio.co.uk/books/610987961.html
It says "Bookseller has 222 copies at this price.", which seems weird. 222 seems a random number
Anyway, I think tomorrow or Thursday, a library having stock won't mean anything anymore
