And speaking of dragons...
Novik's website says Victory of Eagles paperback will be out July the something. Err uh hunh?
Book City doesn't have it but BC doesn't have much. So off I pedal to Bakka and look for VoE, which should be displayed everywhere if out. No displays. Ask the clerk. 'It'll be out in June." 'Anh, but, someone said it's out the 19th...' 'We don't have a definite date but we'll be getting it in June. You can pre-order it and I'll give you a call.' 'Ah no thanks, I'll come back.'
Odd. I could swear Shay bought it. So off I pedal to the World's Biggest Bookstore. Which has Victory of Eagles, that isn't available to the independents until next month. I have no idea what this is all about, but I fancy someone's getting shafted somewhere along the line.

It's not uncommon for book publishers to cut special deals with a book store that gives that store the right to sell a book before anyone else.

Yeah well- west coast is west coast except when it's not. And when it's not it DIES because everyone thinks the west coast doesn't get hot.
