I've ordered this for the Stuart D. Lee and Brian Sibley sections more than anything else. Blackwells seemed like the only viable place for me to order, here in NZ.
Out of curiosity, do the Bodleian publications ever indicate whether a book is a reprint? Just wondering in terms of anyone who might wait for wider availability / better deals, who might also want a first print.
Not sure how the Bodleian indicates re-prints, but it's releasing in the US on Sept 2 so I'm assuming those will will be 1st prints as well. For what it's worth, looks like Blackwells as well as Book depository is out of stock, but Amz UK still has some. Not sure if that's temporary or not.
Yeah, Amazon UK doesn't ship any physical goods to NZ as they don't want to collect the GST (which is bizarre, given they do collect the GST on the Australian site -- not that I have ever used it). I'm sure it will be something related to them trying to avoid paying their honest way...
Blackwells claimed to have stock when I ordered a couple of days ago, but we shall see. Book Depository is showing September as being when they will have stock for me, so Blackwells was pretty much the only option
