Does anyone know the correct date Bloodhound is released in Australia?

Tammy said on her livejournal that the release had been pulled forward 2 weeks, from April 28 to April 14. I'm thinking that this only applies to North America though, because all the Australian stores and sites list the release date as May 1, but does anyone know for sure?

It might be a case that the bookstores are just slack. But normally we get it on the US release dates, if I'm not wrong.

I've done some research - apparently Angus and Robertson, QBD, Borders etc all release Bloodhound on May 1st. BUT - Big W (of all places?!) is releasing it on April 14, according to their website (the wonders of Google LOL). Fishpond.com.au is also looking promising (I got Melting Stones from there before it was available in bookstores in Aus).

I'll just have to brave it though.

And if nothing else, you can always buy it off of Half.com.

Big W it is, then!

Dammit, I am soooo excited now!

Magic is akin to the human soul, and also to the cataclysms of the deepest earth, and also to the stars. It is like the enigma which separates a dead rock from living coral. I mean, very plainly, that magic is akin to the questions we ask, not to the answers we possess. You cannot calculate or determine what magic will do. You cannot use magic to answer a problem. But you can use magic to ask for a solution.

I'm hoping that if you can get it in Australia on the 14th, it'll be the same in NZ. I really really really want it before the 16th because I'm going to Melbourne on the 17th and want something to read on the plane!

Although maybe if I can't get it here before I go, I could buy it there and then read it on the flight back home.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

Hey guys, I posted something similar on Sheroes - I called up Scholastic Australia VERY frustrated, they said that it would not be released until May 1st - and they seemed to think that Big W had it wrong

But i'm more than happy for Big W to release it early anyway!!

Maybe Big W has an overseas supplier? I think I'm going to order it online from them

I would have loved Terrier WITHOUT the Tortall-aspect, so i'm really excited for Bloodhound. ... $36.73 seems like a random price...

Oh good, we don't have that coloured thing on the cover!

Yeah, I thought they were normally closer to $20.00.

ETA - Dymocks lists at $25, but no release date, same with QBD. A&R has no release date, but has the ickier covers.

Exciting!
