Location: Central Massachusetts | Mark, didn't you say you got that copy at the Tanasbourne Barnes & Noble? If so, I think I had actually ordered that into the local store, but found a better price elsewhere, so they shelved it, and you happened through a few weeks later. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Yep. Probably 3 years ago when I was killing time waiting for the girls to pick out wedding dresses or something for a niece. I had them check to see if they had any more copies, but they didn't. I was lucky I didn't just reshelve it, since I practically read the whole book while I was waiting. |

First thing that caught my eye was that funky blue Breadwinner on the wall. That's a very cool shade of blue. Doesn't look like the original Breadwinner blue. |

If you're very nice to us Aussies, one of us might go in and order it for you, for way less than $400. |

I am happy to have it considering the fact that I have bought two previously on ebay and not recieved one. (got my money back tho)
I think you will find that the expensive books are hard covers.
I'll take mine to Amelia and get Beal to sign it then.
BTW I will be bringing the travelling book to be signed by us all and then I'll send it on.

Would you believe it was on the National News - it's been a bad week for good news down under.
Jackman and Kidman were promoting the new movie Australia. |
