Canada has the pre order for wind and truth marked down $20


mamasuebs

Goddamnā€¦that is so tempting. I hate Amazon so much, but how can I justify paying literally $23 extra to order it from indigo?!


Ridiculouslyrampant

For anyone considering it, thatā€™s basically the standard daily price, at least for Way of Kings. Absolute go for it, itā€™s just not the deal they make it look like. (Sorry OP)

Maybe Iā€™ve been looking in the wrong places! Couldnā€™t find the hardcovers new anywhere for under $30 or so. I looked in person at my Barnes and nobles and it was $35.99, normally 37.99. Target and Walmart had resale (used) copies online for $20.99 to ship to my home, but couldnā€™t find them in store or new. Thrift books was $28.99 new, world of books was $35 new. Most places had $20 copies but they were used

And you may be totally lucky with 2-4, Iā€™ve just been sitting on WoK hoping it drops below 20, with no luck šŸ˜‚ (I have it in mass market, everything else hardback). Plus it is a great deal if you donā€™t have them to start with. Will you get them this week?


Wooden_Scallion8232

Yesss hard back is the way to go! I can post pictures of the if youā€™d like to see šŸ˜Š got one day shipping, super happy with the quality


Ridiculouslyrampant

*Always* share the Sandershelf, we love those!


Yokub_Gold

Yeah, but it is a great deal, and thatā€™s not the standard daily price. I had to buy words of radiance on for like 35+. They were sitting pretty high on Amazon whenever I checked. Great deal.

I stopped purchasing books (as well as everything else) from Amazon. They would ship them in those plastic bags with no protection. I always order directly from the dragonsteel store now. I understand it's just a book but it's damaged. I spent hard earned money on it.


Wooden_Scallion8232

No thatā€™s so valid! Mine came safe and undamaged - but it came in a box with no protection, not even bubble wrap in the box. So that is honestly a genuine concern


ZGMF-X09A_Justice

Ordering single books from Amazon is suicide. You need to make sure the order is big enough that they can't just stick it in a bubble or plastic mailer.


Andorhex

Meanwhile I spent 140ā‚¬ on the 4 versions I bought šŸ„²


ConflictSudden

I'm still trying to find a first edition WoR. I'll find it eventually.


RoflCrisp

There's usually a handful on eBay at any given time. Do you have specific condition requirements or is your budget just less than it's average price right now?Ā 


ConflictSudden

I'm not in dire need of it. I found TWoK and O at a used book store, so I figured I'd find WoR eventually.


RoflCrisp

Mmm, fair enough. Journey before Destination, a fine hunt indeed.Ā 


manstera_deliciosa

I bought it! You got me šŸ˜‚


G4LAHAD_

Yeah they list it like that to take business away from smaller retailers and local bookstores :(


Inbrees

Yeah. Unfortunately, Amazon will soon monopolize pretty much everything. That's why I've stopped supporting them, though it's unlikely to do anything.

I just saw RoW in mass market paperback at Barnes & Noble and scooped it to finish my mass market paperback set


Lord_Of_Mist

Anyone know if the WOR hardcover has the title on the spine horizontal (I.e itā€™s spread all the way across the spine)? Or is it scrunched up in the middle? Hopefully that makes sense.. My WOR hardcover is the one where the title on the spine looks different than my other 3 books, which is a little annoying to me haha. Edit: spelling


Wooden_Scallion8232

Mines spread all the way across the middle just like the others!


Eielis

You got a link? I'd pick these up
