Hey Cory - picked up a copy last night up here in Edinburgh. Loving it so far - exactly what I need to recover from dissertation-related stress. Good luck with the signing!

I got my copy last week from play (signed). Finished it really quickly; it was a great read although I really don't like the artwork on the Uk edition at all.

Watch out Cory, It's a trap by the new british police state. Once you show up, they slap cuffs on you. Then taze.

ironically, I've got the US version and I like the UK cover much better. the implication of graffiti makes it seem that much edgier, and captures the subversive feel of the story. it's also a nice nod to a real world radical propaganda technique - it's totally believable that I could see a stencil like that on a sidewalk downtown.

I prefer the more dystopian cover myself.

I love the Banksy esque cover. Would buy the book just for that. (/adds to my list of books to buy next time I am in the UK.)

@4 @6
It looked great on the web but I wasn't impressed with it in print so to speak. I think we're just over-exposed in the Uk to all the wannabes who make bad stencils and often spray them over really great graf work.

I finished reading it last week, and I loved it - I can't stop recommending it to people. Great read, and educational too!

I did the whole free download thing. PSP'd it and read it on holiday. recommended it to friends. Put it on the order list at the local waterstones. Loaded it onto my wife's macbook, we do the whole "I left you something to read" thing. Oh and just took delivery of my signed copy. so re-reading back see if it feels different...I like turning pages.

hang on a minute did i just pay for something I originally got for free in a format I could do anything with and I still went out and bought it....hmmm has anyone thought about this

Most irritating: the Toronto Public Library still has no copies, though Westerfeld's Extras is in full circulation.

Do you have an Australian release date yet?
I've already read the eBook on my iPhone and loved it, but I'd like a hard copy to put on my shelf...
The local bookstore told me 2009 sometime...

Nooooo...My (unsigned) copy turned up on Saturday!

I'm 200 pages in and I'm definitely enjoying the ride. Cory, if you're reading this: IMO, it's your best work so far!
