Those who have dealt with amazon.wherever in its many avatars, what does it mean when their wp says a book has not yet been released that two people you know have already read?

1) amazon doesn't update its wps enough. If you preorder they will have the thing in stock already and send it along.

2) amazon doesn't know its virtual fundament from a virtual hole in the ground. Do not deal with them unless you must.

The various wank communities make for dispiriting reading lately, hence my icon. From the behaviour on both sides I can't help feeling that HP fans deserve their fandom and may it choke them; from reading HP (nice but no big deal) I conclude that my feelings are right. 'But for Wales, Richard?'

This is Cent Demons and the French edition, which they present with all info as for vol 1. amazon.ca's French webpage believes it hasn't been released yet.

Ah. Curious and irritating.

In France, yes, which I assume is how incandescens and mikeneko got their copies. I'm trying to avoid ordering from overseas because of the time factor. In this presumably bilingual country I thought someone in Montreal would be offering it. Alas, I seem not to have bookmarked the Mtl store-with-manga/BD I've looked at- name forgotten- and google is amazingly unhelpful about online French bookstores in Canada.

Ahh your google fu is powerful indeed. Thank you! And what string did you search on, for future reference?

Though it's still only vol 1. Clearly vol 2 has not yet reached these fair shores. Order from France it is then...

(I'm assuming they deliver ^^;)

Yes, in fact. Amazon.fr is speedier than you'd expect, and has the usual Amazon discount, which is blessed when we're talking euros. -_-;
