Happy Aussie bookday!

So today the book is coming out in Australia, as I understand it, so I thought I'd catch y'all up on what we know from the British release: it does seem to be in major chain bookstores, but fewer than ten copies (sometimes five or less) at each store. They do seem to be stocking it in the film/entertainment section rather than the humor, also.

i was running all around one of the shopping centres in the perth suburbs today looking for the book. no-one had it. i should have expected it i suppose. i get to buy TWO copies. one for me and one for my friend who i owe a birthday present to.
I'll have to try the city. *pumps fist*

Ohh, do report back if you manage to find it in Perth. That will be a glorious day, if you can.

Having worked in a bookstore, you'll find that having five to ten copies is usually good! Often new releases come with even less.

And it will be categorised by whoever ordered it for the company. When it comes into the store, it would be placed in the section it details on the book ordering system I think.

They have them in Foyles, the largest independent book store in England, as well (along with a tank of piranhas).
