The Lists look great but now for Mowgli and Friends...

I have the stats (except for Mowgli's wife) for my 'later in life' version but working on the write-up.

I am notoriously slow unfortunately.

Gracias,

Glenn

There's always the Kindle edition....released Tuesday, June 10. Nope, it's not ideal for displaying all things, but you'll get it right away, and you can get it on your Kindle or via a Kindle app (ap?) on your tablet, PC, phone, iPod, etc. Only $10.09 American.

I'm just sayin'.

Well, the Kindle version came through this morning ( :D ), but, here in the States, Amazon still says the book won't be released until June 17 ( :'( ).

EDIT: Just noticed that the Kindle version was delivered at three minutes past midnight, local time. Dang, if I'd have known that, I would have gotten up right then and started reading!  lol

I'm impatient, but for me the physical book is worth waiting for, if it's a game I expect to play for years. So, I am the soul of patience.

(And I have these fine Gothic distractions, heh.)

Official release date in the UK is 20th June, while in the US it's the penultimate Tuesday of the month (17th).

Books do (and have!) gone out to distributors and stockists already - inevitably, some will have received them sooner than others, and some will get them sent out much more promptly than others as well!

The idea is that all stockists have them ready to go for the official release date at the latest.
