John, have you noticed there are a few pre-release copies floating around on eBay.
ReplyDeleteAnybody managed to get hold of a copy?
I actually have one. But I'm holding off reading until the final book, which I should also be getting in advance. It's hard not to peek! :)
DeleteThink I will hold out for the hardback version. Many thanks.
DeleteI'm told there is more HH material to be included, so definitely worth waiting.
DeleteI picked up one. Just started it yesterday. Very short chapters. Refers to Houdini as the Great Houdini, which is a bit annoying. Did you notice that the text on the book cover glows in the dark?
ReplyDeleteHa! I hadn't noticed that. That's fun.
Delete"Fascinating, sometimes thrilling, reading." i think the reviewer really wants to be quoted on the back cover of the book.
ReplyDeletei hope this is good.
It is a great blurb. And coming from Kirkus Reviews... I could see this appearing on the final book somewhere.
