Getting UK versions if you are in the US.

[Christi]

I ordered mine from Amazon.co.uk and the "my account" section of the 
site says that it will be delivered Saturday, although I am sorely 
tempted to buy one locally. Unfortunately I did not think to 
preorder an American version (and reserving a book at Barnes and 
Noble is no guarantee this late) so I'm just going to have to take 
my chances at Walmart. I ordered books 1-4 from Amazon.co.uk and 
they came faster than something I had ordered form Barnes and Noble 
(american) two days earlier-go figure.
