There's a lot of confusion about the release date on several different sites. Looks like they may have messed things up just a bit.

I'd say chance your arm and see if it's there on Monday. We'll likely have to wait a bit longer on this side of the Altantic anyway.

*sigh* and I was hoping to send it to someone for their birthday on September 21st. Can't see that working out!

I ordered mine yesterday...hasn't shipped yet, according to their website. The wife bought me Finding Serenity yesterday, so I have something to tide me over until then!

PHOENIXROSE- Did you try comic book stores too? Thats where I picked mine up yesterday and I also saw a copy at the Waldenbooks yesterday too. I was really surprised cause things take a while to get to Alaska. The big chain stores had no idea what I was talking about when I was frantically calling all of them. But those mom-and-pop comic stores were rather friendly and cool.

Hmmmm, not a bad idea, but most of the smaller stores don't open until after my bedtime. I'm really tired of working nights, you know that? But I've got a day off, so maybe I'll stay up and go check that out. I only really know of one place even remotely nearby, though.

I pre-ordered 2 copies (1 for me, 1 as a shiny gift for Browncoat neighbors) from Amazon in April, and the ship date is October 4th. And I thought by pre-ordering I'd get it early. Guess not.

I ordered my copy from amazon.co.uk in april and was told I would receive it june 21st. June 21st came and went, I emailed them, they apologised, they had the date wrong, it should have been july 21st. July 21st as empty as June. I complained lots, amazon apologised again and took delivery charges off my order, they now tell me I will receive it next week.

Seems to me that no one on either side of the atlantic knows whats going on, least of all little ol' me. I just wanna look at the shiny pictures soooooooo much.

yours in anticipation

Should of ordered in a shop. They phoned up the publisher (Titan Books) and all (They had too because it wasn't on the shops computers...) Should be in Friday or a couple of days after. HOPEFULLY!!!!

Choo, your sig looks fine on a monitor that has the definition turned up, but a little big at the lower definitions.
Also, there's an odd black bit by Mal's head that should be smoothed out and made rounder. There's my graphic artist coming out again.

NOT cool.




But I've got the book in my hands. It exists. Two 8 1/2 by 11 pics of Mal page 27 page 79 and lots of other pics of Mal like page 81 82.

8 1/2 full page pics of all 9 characters. Scripts for Serenity episode. The Train Job. Bushwhacked. Shindig. Safe. Our Mrs. Reynolds. English translations after chinese words.

I pre-ordered it at a Barnes and Noble store in the United States. Not from the website. They called me when they got it. Maybe they weren't supposed to release it to me or something. But they did and I AM NOT GIVING IT BACK!

Did you pre-order it from your store?

Maybe the warehouse will send it out to your store like it did to the store I shop at.

Or at least if you pre-order it they will hold you a copy when they get their shipment.

I got a First Edition. And we do not know how many they printed in the First Edition. If it is like normal Firefly/Serenity stuff, they did not print enough. And then people have to wait for the second printing.

Do they have complete scripts for all the episodes covered in the volume?

Even if not, I'm incredibly excited about this. I really hope I don't have to wait until my birthday to get one.
