BY THE SWORD for sale already in germany?!?!

I was shopping abesbooks.com when I searched for By the Sword. I stumbled across what looks like a Mass Market ( paperback ) copy for sale already in Germany. Is this legal? If not FPW should know.

I may be wrong but see for yourself.

At $28.30 it's probably hardcover. And my German is rusty but isn't "gebunden" mean "bound" as in hardcover bound?

look at the bookseller. paperbackworld.de

Either way, that edition isn't supposed to be out yet ( at least thats what i thought).

[SIZE="3"]That's one of the ARCs they were giving away at BEA a few weeks ago. Obviously a German bookseller snagged one for resale. That's a no-no but it happens all the time.[/SIZE]

What through me off is not only the website name, but that cover looks different than the ones I have seen elsewhere.

If you click on the "View Larger Image" link, it says: "This is a stock photo and is not the actual image of the item available from this bookseller."
