The US version of our very first book is now available for pre-order from Amazon and Barnes and Noble! See, your patience paid off!



Now, it may have a different cover, but the content is the same: 120 oldies and 30 brand new, book-exclusives! It won't be released until Jan 19, but that doesn't mean it doesn't make a great stocking stuffer! Who wouldn't be overjoyed to receive a piece of paper saying they'll get a book in a month!?

And again, here's the links to the pre-order pages for Amazon and Barnes and Noble!

Put the stocking on your genitals to distract them until it comes out.

I'm going to get the UK version and pay the extra money. It's hardback and has a cooler cover. I guess that's what we get for being foreigners. lol

What if I told you that I bought it on Amazon UK right when it first came out and had it shipped here immediately? I was a little too impatient I guess...

So is there any difference between that book, and http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cyanide-Happ...dp/0007318863/ ? Besides the title and the cover, of course... I'd really rather have it in hard cover <_<

Amazon delivers abroad - both UK and US, just check out what works cheapest.

The cover may be different, but the contents is definitely worth it.

What does the back cover look like on the US version? Has that been purged too?

I didn't notice last time, as I was rushing for the "Add to Shopping basket" button, but love the choice of pictures on Amazon.co.uk

I got the UK version, when I went to pay for it the guy looked at me strange.. Shit like that makes my day.
The book exclusives alone are well worth it.

Why didn't the Yanks get the same cover?

The US cover is a bit better I think. We got a chance to put some funny stuff on the back, whereas the UK back cover was written by our publisher and is pretty straightforward.
