    The unkindness of Ravens

    5 days to go until this limited edition book is reslesed. 3000 copies are being made availiable as per usual.

    Do you think we will have the usual fiasco that has accompanied all the other BL limited edition book?

    And who is planning on buying it. I will for sure.

    Well it will be limited to 2 copies per customer so at least nobody will moan about cretins selling multiple copies on ebay.

    I can see where limits on books can be a pain. And two copies per person is just about right. One to read and tear up. The other to sit on the shelf and retain its condition.

    Why would you tear up a 30 pound limited edition novella?? Is that what the cool kids do these days?

    I must be even less cool than I thought, I like to keep my books in the best condition I can.

    Exactly! I like to treat my novels as best as I can :-)

    Anyway, two is a good number. This way I can order one for myself and another one for a friend of mine who has no credit card. It is also a nice move, that the books are shipped for free!

    I'm definitely going to try and get hold of it. Will go nicely with my Gold Aurelian.

    Re: The unkindness of Ravens

    got my order in but was a little concerned when it said Buy E Book.....as it was it was a wrong heading. Can't wait though these got all the ltd editions and they look great on the book shelf

    Re: The unkindness of Ravens

    I also ordered two, the speed of the BL page is also top, no delay what so ever. But well, it is not a HH title.

    Re: The unkindness of Ravens

    It said 'Buy Ebook' when I ordered mine aswell but its now changed to 'Buy Now'. Given that there was no lag whatsoever, I'm assuming they were able to correct it.

    I think the fact that it's not HH helps immensely.

    Either way, 1 copy has been ordered (along with the complete Kal Jerico and Daemonifuge books). Also got my Monstrous Arcanum the other day so I'm a happy boy.

    The book number that you get is not related to your order number. The books are stacked in piles and they just grab a book for each order.

    I'm looking forward to putting my £30 copy of The Unkindness of Ravens E-Book on the shelf too.

    Re: The unkindness of Ravens

    Being a collector of these novellas is a dangerous past time! Luckily this one seems unpopular compared to some of the others; I only managed to get a Gold Aurelian on the original release night because I fell asleep at the keyboard and woke up a few hours later with the BL website confirming my card details.
