Yeah, I'm really anxious to get it, too. I don't like PDFs much (have trouble reading on computer screens; I much prefer hardcopy books and my sofa for reading), and would hate to pay twice for the same book. :)

Buy the PDF then take it to Kinkos or somewhere like that to be printed off.

Well, that would be around 20€ for the book, 56€ for the passport and about 1000€ for the flight to the USA. Sorry, I wait for a printed version Birdy |

Well, since I am XXL, I only fly first class or Troop Bay. And since the UN takeover of the US has been postphoned until next year (The black helicopters are grounded due to a MidLife Upgrade)... Birdy |

Kinko's is still like 10 cents/page. Still paying for it twice.
I hate it when a release date is "........." |

Expect books to arrive in print version 4-5 weeks after the PDF release. Seems to be about the lead time for both Battletech and Shadowrun products.
For those getting it from venues other than distributor -> retailer, add a week or two (or less if you get it straight from a distributor). |

In an ideal world of course. Alliance games doesn't have it listed yet, which means not this week. I think that makes it about 6 weeks since Loose Alliances and Interstellar Players (BT book) were released.

I've been informed that the official ship date is next monday, so most game stores should have it by the end of next week.

Well, sounds like some stores in Europe have it already, but in general I wouldn't expect it in Europe until a week after it leaves distributors in the USA.

How do players overseas get books before the players in USA and Canada do?
This is not just a Fanpro thing for I have seen it happen with other companies to. |

They order from internationally operating retail services ... who get their copies in the US the very second it hits the distributers, and send via air mail. I guess.
Or LA was printed somewhere in Eastern Europe. Then it'd be a much farther way to the Us than Kiel. ;) |
