Talk:Book:Unseen Academicals
The cover art referred to is the poor, lame Harper version, mind you. The original shows many of the usual suspects and a few newcomers lined up behind the Librarian, with ball, as for the team iconograph. --Old Dickens 20:20, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Publication date
Is October 6th still the official release-date? If thats the case my favourite store made a major booboo by selling me a copy this monday (I'll start my second redthrough tonight)? Iron Hippo 17:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- Amazon and Waterstones still say something from the sixth to tenth of October. What edition is that? --Old Dickens 19:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- Doubleday hardcover (in Sweden) Iron Hippo 09:48, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
- Amazon.co.uk now says 1 Oct, i.e. now. --Old Dickens 23:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
- The nice girl girl at the store said they got their shipment earlier than excpected Iron Hippo 09:48, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Now published
Since the book is published, I suggest we move the entire stuff to something like "Unseen academicals pre-release discussion" and start on a proper Book: Unseen Academicals, liberally pasted with Here Be Spoilers!!
Would it not be more beneficial to simply delete the content of this page as a when it becomes irrelevant? personally i do not see the benefit of keeping old stuff online --BOZZ 13:27 1 October 2009 (UTC)
- I am a nice(-ish) guy so I don't like to flat out delete stuff, Nevertheless it's a moot point as I and others are doing exactly what I proposed. Get the book, read it once, jump in, read it again, correct what you wrote the first time and so on. Have fun Iron Hippo 22:25, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Cover
The unidentified Wizards appear to be (front to back): Senior Wrangler, Indefinite Studies, Recent Runes, but of course I don't have the book out here on the edge of the universe. I'm not sure we need the duplicate covers: if we replace the automatic Amazon cover image with this one it could be blown up as desired. --Old Dickens 22:46, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
