5th Elephant
Now everyone's here (hello if I haven't met you before) it's time for a
round of "Hunt the Pratchett book" - hurrah !
5th Elephant is published 3 weeks tomorrow. As long term Terry Pratchett
book buyers (or readers of this mail list who've watched as we've played
previous rounds of this game - usually rather brief !) know "published" is a
relative term - the record is finding it a month before publication date
held by Feet of Clay and Hammick's Epsom.
The rules are simple:
Whoever tells us via IFIS Announce (which is per the rules) where we can
walk into a shop that has it in stock and buy a copy wins. In stock is the
operative phrase - pre-orders do not count!
Since the abolition of the net book agreement bonus points are awarded
for finding it cheap - any sub tenner reports gratefully received.....
Entries involving the words "Amazon.co.uk" are void unless they really
have do it early - like the 3rd B5 Psi Corp book that I got from them on
Monday :-)
Further rounds to be declared at a later date.
Rules for other traditional society games such as "The Annual Peanut
Throwing Competition" and "New Year's goings on Bingo" will follow...
