Thief of Time
<Richard O'Brien>
Would you like to play a game ? A really easy game ?

I suspect that most of the students are still AWOL but with only 2 weeks to go it's time
for yet another round of "Hunt the Terry Pratchett Book !". Those who've been following
this for a few years will know that we haven't played the May round for a few years owing
to TP's habit of usually writing just one book a year. The book this time is Thief of
Time and it's due to be published in Hardback on the 1st May which means it's open season
from now on. There's no paperback this time out - The Truth comes out in November
I quote from my mail of 12th October last year:
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 briefly !) 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 do have it in
stock early.
I've got Babysitting to do a week Saturday (28/4) so I would rather like it by then ;-)
Lets go shopping .....
(I note that the taped version is narrated by S.Briggs of map and other merchandising
fame)
Anyone on for a summer shopping trip once the exams are over ?
