Ordered two books that dd9 has asked for. She doesn't like to read but they are both related to a game she plays on her phone.

I pre ordered these on Saturday (it didn't state a date anywhere).

I've received this email today. 😳😳

Well at least they won't charge you until it's shipped. You've got lots of time to save up for a special edition 😉

Oh, that’s hilarious. I wonder if your DD will still want it in 2079😉🤣🤣

I'm gutted really as everywhere sold out and I knew she would be happy. Surely they would have known when it would be released?

Ah I know it made me sad thinking how old she would be.

If George RR Martin is the author, 2079 is perfectly possible tbh Grin

Your dd's first family heirloom!

Grin this happens a lot. See for example this law book:

Have you tried somewhere like Abe Books that has lots of sellers? There might be second hand copies around.

Anonanon1234 · 27/10/2021 22:46

2079 hhahaha!!! Wow, that's some delay....

When I worked in publishing we had a default release date that was given to things that had no expected release date yet. It was way in the future, to avoid confusion. I imagine that's what this is.

I ordered a graphic novel for my ed for Christmas one year, or maybe her birthday. I can't remember now, but she eventually got it over a year later due to the publishing being put back about 3 times.

BarbedButterfly · 29/10/2021 13:46

Well I have been waiting for the final Nightworld book by LJ Smith since about 1999 so it is entirely possible Grin

Me too barbed butterfly, along with the next game of thrones books!

They cancelled my order so I won't receive them anyway.

Why sell something they don't have?

But you knew it was a pre-order?

Yes I did but they obviously didn't realise it wouldn't be available as they cancelled my order and refunded me.
