Got mine from a comic shop in Carlisle, England at the weekend, just sat there on the rack as I went in.

Good old Tommy, he knows what his customers want, and had specially ordered half a dozen from the States. Of course, it cost me twenty five quid, but hell, it's worth it.  :mrgreen:

Anyone read this yet?  Maybe it was because I'd lost my glasses and was squinting at the pages with only one eye, but I found the last part utterly confusing and more or less unrelated to the beginning and middle bits.  What do you think?

I followed it fine, ta. You do have to pay attention earlier in the book though, as lots of things alluded to are expanded upon. I say "fine", I did read it twice.  :lol:

Moore does like his mystical majickal mummery too.

No spoilers there Hammers, it's just what youd expect. Anyway, do you really think you'll have time to read it with a new baby in the house?

It's a nice way to check in on some of the characters, but I didn't enjoy it near as much as parts One and Two.  (It WAS infinitively superior to the dreadful LXG film, thank the 'Maker)

There seemed to be a hint of another being released that would cover the years between 'Two, and Black Dossier, so don't give up hope!
So you started a military Coup,
I'm sorry it only back-fired on you.

Oh, the book is not for me, I assure you. I bought it for Fiver, son of hammershield. Just like the new carbon fiber fishing rod with ABU Cardinal reel, size 9 Lundhags alpine trekking boots and a mixed bag of miniatures from RAFM. All for him! I am just checking that they suit him first.

Got mine from Amazon US yesterday without any problems. it's been part f a 4-book-order with USD 5 freight for each book, which seems fair as they came separately.

Thanks for the tip, Poli. I ordered the book right the other day from Amazon.com together with another book, and both are on their way to me now.

Postage costs were indeed very reasonable for a delivery from the US. So hopefully the book will be with me very soon.

Thanks,

I picked one up from ebay uk after reading the first few posts on this thread.

Read it - didn't like it and sold it within minutes when I relisted it back on evilbay for what I paid for it (£20)

I will not expand in due respect for the no spoilers requests

Got mine yesterday and I love it eventhough I am only one third through. A somewhat demanding read however, even more obscure references to British litterature than in the ofirst two books.
