... impatiently wait for Amazon to deliver.

It might be difficult to get hold on an English one in local bookstores here.

Same as Mac
The next bookstore with the book will probably 20 kms from here, and since I have school next day, I'm relying on Amazon

Experiencing Viking metal gods Amon Amarth live in concert, myself. Can't understand all this excitement over a book featuring a story we already know.

I assume that, if I'm granted the time, I will eventually get my hands on the new book but I'm not experiencing the same excitement I felt awaiting the publication of The Silmarilion.

Selmo,

I'm kind of feeling the same way. Calmly looking forward to reading the story and seeing how it compares with what's already in print in other sources.

I'll pass on the bookstore but will still be waiting by my mailbox. For those of us who aren't anywhere near the places where the signings are occurring but who would like a copy signed by the artist, ADC Books has a pretty good thing going. They are taking preorders for copies autographed by Alan Lee. The "regular" signed edition is $37 if you order through ebay....slightly more on Abebooks. They also have the deluxe edition signed by Lee, which is the one I'm getting as a birthday gift. The downside is that they won't ship out till April 20-24, which is when they're having a four-day Tolkien festival at Moreton in Marsh with both Lee and Nasmith present (promoting his CD) to sign.

I'm out of the loop. What is the It that you're all talking about?
