Until Cryptum!!! So stoked… can’t wait. B-) Anyone else excited? And in a couple of weeks, I’ll have the reissue of First Strike and its accompanying ancillary tidbits to help hold me over until the 4th of Jan.

I’m super excited, I highly doubt I’ll be able to snag a signed copy, but at least I know that since I work in a book store I can grab the first copy off the truck.
Wish it had come out already hehe!
Thanks for the information. Can’t wait. 
Yeah dude, I’m getting it signed too. I can’t wait.
I’ve had it preordered from Amazon for quite a while, mainly because it was cheaper, and I get free shipping from them with Prime. But yeah, having a signed copy certainly would have been awesome!
Grim
haven’t been this excited for a book an a long time; here’s to Greg Bear raises glass
I’ll probably have this in my store the 29th. I’ll let you guys know how awesome it is. Inventory shows we have 19 in store, which means it’s on it’s way and has no strict on sale date.
Probably going to buy this the day it comes out, provided the money situation is looking good. Can’t wait to see what’s in store.
I’ve had it preordered from Amazon for months now. CAN’T WAIT!

I hate 343. You guys just had to release it on the 4th, when I’ll be stuck waiting at an airport and won’t be back for 2 weeks. You guys suck.
It was actually ONI’s call. They don’t want you to know the truth!
Grim
I swear, I’ll actually pay someone to type out each chapter for me and email it to me while I’m overseas.
I’m sure Tor would do it for you
In all seriousness, won’t it be available in an electronic format?
Grim
Can’t wait!

Only in “Kindle Edition”, meaning I must buy a Kindle.
Grr. Lame 
I’ve got mine all pre-ordered and ready to go! With prime I’ll have it on the 6th! w00t!
I checked out a copy from work, it’s here at home. It is hardback and about the size of the re-releases. Looks very pretty. There is a strict sale date of January 4th, so no early buying unless you’re lucky.

Jealous! So…can you read it then? Or just ogle over it?
