Getting UK versions if you are in the US.

[Christi]

Unfortunately I did not think todo that earlier.They say that even 
with reserving a copy there is no guaranty that I will get a copy. 
There is an independent bookstore I could pre-purchase from, but it 
would cost $30 instead of $18, yikes. I don't know whether to be 
patient (yeah right), go for the more expensive 'sure thing', or 
take my chances with Barnes and Noble. I'll probably break down and 
pay the $30 and write it off to supporting independent booksellers. 
It looks as if they're giving the best party anyway.
