Local folks: anybody want my extra copy of Empire of Ivory?

[annathepiper]

On my way home this afternoon, I stopped at Barnes and Noble downtown to pick up the fourth Temeraire novel that I'd failed to find over the weekend, along with the latest J.D. Robb paperback. (I was not successful in finding Koji Suzuki's Spiral, which so far has failed to be present in three out of three bookstores checked; I shall have to venture a little farther afield.)

Shortly after I got home, however, risu also came home and presented me a copy of Terry Pratchett's Going Postal... and another copy of Empire of Ivory. In a word: DOH!

So now I have an extra copy of the latest naominovik goodness. If anybody would like my extra, please to sing out. I loves me some Captain Laurence, but he doesn't have to occupy my bookshelf twice. ;)

Still though, public thanks for risu. Because the thought was entirely awesome, as I have every faith that the books will be!

ETA 10/2/07 12:25pm: cflute was first to ask for the book! Captain Laurence and Temeraire will be winging her way.

A friend of mine says that Going Postal is probably his favorite Pratchett novel to-date, and that says a lot for it, because the man is an absolute nut about Pratchett's writing.

It's definitely one I'm going to have to look into getting...

I have yet to read a single Discworld novel, so hopefully I won't be too confused when I dig into this one. But risu says it is chock full of Funny, and I'm in favor of Funny, so I'll be happy to dive into it. ^_^

It's yours! I'll hang onto it and if jam happens as planned again on the 14th, you can have it then. Or, I could hand it off to technoshaman on another lunch. I just got back from giving him the songbooks. :)
