From Gauntlet's email newsletter today it appears that people who want RJ#10 better order from Gauntlet as soon as it's announced.
[INDENT]We have a long waiting list for the sold-out F. Paul Wilson title INFERNAL. It's possible we may receive some returns from one distributor, but the book is almost impossible to get except on the secondary market (for far more than the Gauntlet website price). We urge anyone interested in receiving the next book in the Repairman Jack series to order no later than May 1, 2006 to guarantee yourself a copy of the book.
As we have said in the past we provide copies to our customers first, guaranteed. Next we service a number of dealers with whom we have solid relationships. Finally, we provide one national distributor with remaining copies. Once the book is published we are obligated to send them their copies. With INFERNAL a number of people have ordered the book 2-3 weeks after publication. We have no other choice than to put them on a waiting list. Save yourself the hassle in 2006 by ordering early.[/INDENT]
