The Yak Shack Forum

We're getting daily reports of books being leaked in Canada and America :) so I find it dissappointing to find that no Shacker has raided these fabled stores ;) apparently one was sold in a New York Pharmacy today! Where was Sara??  ;D Or more to the point, I don't think Sara has been on today - do you think she's on her sofa reading it?   :rofl: Quick get her on the phone and read us all to sleep tonight

Anyway - look this guy claims to have them in hand

Anyone want to email him and pester him for a transcript of the first paragraph in pretense of wanting him to prove that he really has it  ;)

He hee - not long now  :o=

I would rather wait and enjoy knowing that i am reading it with the rest of the world

The seller may have it in hand, but won't ship it until July 16.

But he writes "IN-HAND 07/16/05!"   ::)

** PRE-ORDER! ** IN-HAND 07/16/05! ** FAST SHIPPING! **

Im guessing he has wrote it in a way, for people to think he has it but it is still a Pre-Order!

I do know one retailer in my area, will have the book on Thursday (Tomorrow) but deffo won't sell any until Saturday!

But the whole line is:

** BRAND NEW! ** IN-HAND 07/16/05! ** SHIPPING DATE 07/16/05 **

It's great that he has it in hand, but Martyn's right, it's still a pre-order.  At least Amazon is shipping it so that it arrives on the 16th.

If somebody knows anybody who can tell me the number of chapters before Saturday for sure, this would be very interesting for me. Please don't ask me why, a longer story.  ::)

I don't think that info has been released, but JK did give the names for three chapters on her website.  I can post them in the spoiler section if you're interested. :)

Thanks, but no need, the only interesting thing is the number of chapters and nobody knows it yet, that's right.

There are less than Order of the Phoenix I'm sure she said that somewhere on her site.

Yes, that's right. All up to 37 is possible.

Oh I am gettinge xcited now my amazon order;

And I can't cancel them now he he not long ;D

 

To tell you the truth if I bought one I wouldnt return it. I would tell them that your stocker was stupid enough to put it out there and I bought it far and square. I wouldnt leak anything just read it for my self. But then again I would miss a amazing release party

Yeah but did you see the court orders and stuff on the Canadian ones? Anyway I would feel really mean if I read it before everyone else. We're going to read it together, Dan too ;D

I admit I would return it - I do agree with your philosophy Mike - that if someone is stupid enough to sell it to you when it says "not to be opened til Jul 16th" all over it then I would be stupid enough to buy it.

The problem is that if I read it I'd be DYING to discuss it with you all, so I would be bursting, and the chance of a JK auto would tip the balance, I'd have to hand it back :)

I got a phone call yesterday from BORDER"S BOOKSTORE reminding me that my reserved copy would be available at midnight Friday and must be picked up by NOON Sunday or it would go back into the sales pool. Believe me, that ain't gonna happen. I'll be in the store at 6 o'clock. Hummmm...should I sneak in some POA and SS cards to see if anyone likes them? I only have like 250 base sets of each.

I know Roz the J.K. auto would make it oh so better 8)

I heard that they issued a court order forbidding people from opening the books they bought... can they even DO that?

Here is nobody who knows someone who has the chance to check it in any book which is already lying in a shop?  ::)
