I’m obviously hoping 1 may be fulfilled and 2 get cancelled - I don’t need 3 of them! It’d also pretty much empty my bank account if, by some miracle all 3 got fulfilled!!!!!

There were originally over 100 shops on the lists but now under 100, so appears they’re being updated (the Tennessee shop was removed for sure)…not sure if any new ones being added but I have seen a couple shops online that are selling a copy but not on the list. Penguin UK has a product page for the signed edition, linking to 6 major UK retailers. Some are doing giveaways (Blackwells and Waterstones, with one winner each). There was also National Portrait Gallery which had an unspecified amount.

Interesting - I wonder if the larger retailers in fact did get quite a few in that case in the UK

Yeah, I’m thinking it’s highly likely but probably not more than 4-5 each from what I’ve heard. So not sure why only one winner on the giveaways, or why unlimited stock put up on some. Waterstones may hold their extras back and sell for 10k later lol, like Hatchards tried/did with Lyrics (I remember reading about that on here)

WHs let me add 999 copies yesterday at a cost of nearly 1.4 million. Took it through to checkout. Of course didn't go any further otherwise I'd have to sell my Fiat Panda 2.0 to finance the deal

How can you possibly raise 45 mil out of a 7 mil purchase...

Considering you have to pay for the order, I doubt you had the cash to complete the purchase, or that you would if you did. I see your point though, too many sites allowed too many copies to be ordered we will need a special thread for cancellations for this book.

No. They’ve applied for the money but no confirmation email. I contacted them Sunday and chased yesterday - told me they’re still looking into it and will get back to me ASAP. Interesting to see what the response will be - I’m fully expecting a cancellation!!!
