IGJ is where? (no spoilers)Whorl

So far, aside from the few people with advance copies, nobody but me has mentioned reading IGJ, or even seeing it. I checked out a B&N "superstore" yesterday, and they didn't have it. But I didn't hallucinate my copy, honest. Nor is it marked as an advance copy or anything like that; nor was it gotten out of a back room. It was sitting on a table along with other new sf books that indubitably have been released. Did I manage to stumble into the only store in the world with a copy of IGJ? Anyway, I do have a couple more non-spoiler comments on the book, but I think I'll wait until I know it's really out there. --Adam *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.

Amazon seems to have it. Geez, I have a lot of reading to catch up on!!! ;-> I can't WAIT! ===== Jeff "My dice hate me!"

I ordered my copy from Amazon.com on June 4 and just got an email that it is arriving tomorrow. What serendipity! I am on vacation right now. I'll be able to read it and then finally be able to read Adam's first impressions posting. Hope all you other Amazon customers get your copies very soon now.

I would love to support my local independent bookstore, but us country folk don't have the good pickins you city slickers do. <g>

Perhaps I should say that while I put a spoiler warning on my post to be on the safe side, and while you shouldn't read it if you want to come to IGJ absolutely fresh, I didn't discuss any crucial plot twists; in fact I didn't discuss the plot in detail at all. If you want to read a review of IGJ, my post may serve in lieu of anything better. --Adam *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun.
