Today is the official release date for A Local Habitation [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy], available now in bookstores across North America. The Kindle edition comes out on March 9th; I do not know why there is a week's delay between the two, but it's a great opportunity for you Kindle-lovers to pick up a physical copy, read it, and give it your local women's shelter. ;)
Because this is What We Do Around Here, I present our resident little dead ghoul, Mel, all dressed up for the occasion. Not that she has anywhere to go, as she has a tendency to get herself barred from all pleasant social venues. Something about killing the other patrons...
But yes, it is my release day. I have an Amy and several puffy cats, and have thus far resisted the urge to smack my head against anything. Now help the bookstores empty their shelves by rushing out and bringing Toby home with you!
I went to the Borders at the Fremont Hub around 5:30 this afternoon; they did not have a copy.
Fortunately, there is a Barnes and Noble right across the street. They had many copies in a nice display, in the center of the store. I almost missed it, though, as they did not have any copies in the SF/Fantasy section and I entered via the Starbucks entrance and not the main store entrance.
After I bought the book, I left via Starbucks and ran into someone I know from Baycon. He was there looking for book; I directed him to the display.
