Well, it’s certainly a learning-experience kind of day.
Long story short: HarperCollins has shipped a beautiful, limited edition slipcased and signed edition of LITTLE BROTHER. But there are some problems:
1. Their ecommerce system is messed up and you have to phone in to order your copies
2. Due to a silly territorial rights issue, they won’t ship to the US or Canada
But don’t despair! A fantastic British online bookseller called The Book Depository:
1. Can sell the limited edition
2. Is charging *less* than HarperCollins for it
3. Doesn’t charge for shipping
4. Ships to the US, Canada and 40+ other countries
5. Processes payment in your local currency, saving you currency conversion fees
Sorry to be learning in public here, but I’m pretty happy that this worked out the way it did!
