By the Sword - Release???

Archangel78 05-21-2008, 03:40 PM

Hi all,

Just wanted to check to see if anyone has received a copy of By the Sword yet? I am a long time Repairman Jack fan and a short time lurker on this board. I thought I saw a post by fpw about it being shipping out last Friday. Just wondering if anyone had any news.

Thanks!

Hi there and welcome. I have not gotten my copy as of yet, but I'm at work now. I hope to find my copy in the mail from today.

My copy hasn't shipped from Amazon.ca yet...they won't even give me an estimated delivery date.

The stuff I put with for free shipping. Sheesh!

Thanks for the welcome all, it's greatly appreciated! I will be checking my mailbox when I get off work (With fingers crossed).

I still haven't gotten mine. I've been putting off reading anything since last week. Now I even have the new Chuck Palahniuk and Dean Koontz sitting on my shelf. But nothing until By the Sword. Maybe some FPW short stories.

According to Barry Hoffman at Gauntlet, this was supposed to ship from the printer to Gauntlet by the 16th and arrive by the 21st. Even if they did arrive on time, I think the earliest anyone will see their copy will be the 24th, more likely the 27th.

So probably any day now. Also I would like to add that it is really cool that you Mr. fpw read and respond on your message boards. You don't find that happening all that often at all.

Thanks for the replies all!
