I expect Who's Wee Dug is correct. I think there is some kind of embargo that says the books should not be made available before the release date, but PJSM are expecting it to take a few days to get to Japan - maybe it will have a do not open until label on the box!

By the way, I thought the write-up for Unseen Academicals in the Discworld Monthly was very good and i'd pretty much agree with it. :D

I've actually pre-ordered the signed copy of Unseen Academicals... I couldn't afford the other one ... :( !

I am also reading the Watch series to my mother ... she doesn't have time to read at the moment ... She's loving them!

I ordered my signed copy from PJSM last week and got an order confirmation no dispatch info so I don't know how you managed that pooh but well done :D

I ordered my copy from PJSM on 1st September. I haven't got a despatch date yet, & the 'track order' feature just states that my order has been printed but not despatched. :cry:

heh - if anyone who hasn't got the book yet is interested (like me!) there is a teeny tiny shocker of a spoiler in SFX magazine... (next to the little pie-chart they put at the bottom of the big reviews)
