And considering buying ANY type of version of a book from there is cheaper than walking into a store and buying a book of the shelf here in Australia, AND they get delivered to your door in individual packages (so no books on order delay ones in stock) I am well happy. I'm reading Morgan's "Woken Furies" at the moment and have pre-ordered Steel Remains from Amazon UK (due to current discount) - I'm loving his work.

When I showcase debuts these days, I automatically assume that there is going to be a more-or-less simultaneous release in the USA, UK and Canada. And I usually wonder why when they do not.

If you liked <strong>The Blade Itself</strong>, you'll be sure to love the next two! <strong>TK42ONE,</strong> I don't know where you stand on Science Fiction, but Richard Morgan actually has several novels aready under his belt. The most recent being <strong>Black Man</strong> (titled <strong>Thirteen</strong> in the sates), which was hailed by many as one of the best novels published last year. You could always check some of those out! <strong>DrBloodmoney,</strong> It's funny you mention cover art. As I was digging out the UK cover art for this post I was wondering how Del Rey would manage to butcher this one for its US release. Alex R,

Book Depository is a great site. US publishers continue to lose my money to their UK counterparts by either: A. Not publishing in HC when the UK gets a HC release, B. Continuing their proud tradition of horrible cover art compared to the UK, C. Releasing months or years after the UK release. Yup. Book Depository is a great site.

I keep hearing about Morgan (just like Abercrombie) and now I have to wait (just like Abercrombie). Whatever happened to more universal and worldwide releases?

Very cheap and a good selection. I will probably get The Steel Remains there as well, why wait?
