I believe it is in contracts. It is the same with textbooks, at least here in the US. With a lot of textbooks, you can buy one published overseas for less, but you have to shop the secondary market as they can't be sold here in stores or something. Usually the books are identical, but perhaps with a different cover and in softcover instead of hardcover, and if there is a difference it is typically going to be examples given in books.

Why are these things done like this? No clue, so will leave answering that to anyone who might know (Or just wants to make something up even, lol).

Great, I get all the way to Checkout and the damn website dies...trying again....

[srboone]

At 0801 CT, It was sold out!

[Dave1442397]

Now it won't check out...I wonder if they realized how many people would be hammering their site

[TerryE]

I haven't been able to get through. hitting the button constantly for the past 1/2 hour.

[srboone]

The same thing happened to CD for T25AE of IT. Oh well.

There's one up for auction on ebay already!

[Dave1442397]

I'm still sitting at the checkout page, but it won't actually check me out. I wonder if I still have a copy sitting in the basket? Oh well, I don't think this is happening today.

interesting. there were 2 days on the auction. Maybe they didn't get one, either.

Someone with deep pockets may have just made them an offer. I'm sure we'll see more copies on ebay soon.

Which is just terrible. There are enough of us collectors out here who wanted that book to have the book, not to try to make a quick buck, and I fear that's where most of them will end up. I was very unimpressed with the special editions that they put out for "Under the Dome", but this one sounded like it would be a bit better. But I'd still rather have a small press put out the special editions. You get better production, a nice limitations page with numbers, etc.

FYI, the web site is still not working.

Did any of you guys have any luck???

[TerryE]

Hey guys, I finally got through only to find out they are having web site problems. I"m shocked!

Here's the message: "DEAR CUSTOMERS - S&S IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH ITS ECOMMERCE SHOPPING CART.

So we might still have a chance!!!
