Oh I had just assumed you waited for release then used Paypal. Yeah, that's kind of weird.

That's what I did. PayPal isn't an option for pre-orders. Oh well, it worked out.

It's weird that it's only a problem with pre-orders.

You might want to give your CC company a call. I had a couple of issues when I first started buying from Goldsboro due to foreign transaction stuff.

FYI, Waterstones' packaging isn't the best either. I can't ever pre-order from Goldsboro for some reason. It declines my card every time and Goldsboro can't seem to figure it out either. So I had to wait for Tudor's latest novel to go live if you will before I ordered it. It should be making its merry way across the seas as we speak .

So I tried logging into the Amazon UK site with my US credentials and it did not make me create an account.

I bought Sarah Pinborough's newest via Amazon UK. It was out there way before here. I had no issues. I did have to create a new acct as they don't really keep all these different Amazon's together apparently. I'm pretty sure I've ordered via Amazon Germany at some point too but that was probably music.

Odd that you had to create a new account for Amazon UK. It takes my US login. I'm a Prime member; not sure if that makes a difference.

Love Goldsboro...funny enough, I just sent them a query email this morning to see if they're going to be carrying a particular title. Not sure if they carry mass-market paperbacks (which I *think* is Orion's format...?), but they're great for pristine (and often signed) 1st ed. UK HCs of genre fiction. Waterstones is another one worth checking if BD doesn't work.

Check to see if Goldsboro and/or Anderida will be selling copies. There's no discount off of MSRP and shipping can hurt, but you will absolutely get the book in pristine condition and that's always been worth the extra costs to me.

I forgot about Goldsboro. I have used them in the past and had good luck.

[Brian861]

Thanks for the guidance. I'm also looking forward to getting those Tudor US editions. Chalk Man should be shipping soon!

Yes! I'm getting her Sub Press S/Ls via Camelot.

Agreed!

BD is definitely the way to go. For a UK. specialty book dealer I suggest Jeff N Joys. Very good and efficient. On Amazon: Even if you pre order early, I have had books arriving in 2nd editions or later (J. Hill, Dr Who Meets Scratchman). On those occasions I just bought a first at B & N and returned my later edition the next day that I had received from amazon.

Go for it! I love UK editions and have many of King's and probably all of Hill's. I will have C.J. Tudor's UK editions as well. Or maybe I should say I'll have her US editions since she's a UK based author.

The one true and tried way is to find a UK collector contact to pick these up for you and ship them. As a fellow collector, they'll get you the best copies and package them well. If you decide to go with BD, be sure to order quickly so you'll get 1st printings.

Wow. That's crazy! Amazon is built for high volume not high quality.

I'm iffy on beginning down this frightening path (collecting UK trade editions). But I'll see what happens when these books are released.
