Wow. I don't want to get my hopes up but I should be able to get a copy on Wednesday.

Wait besides Dante, me, Hermes and Terry Craig how many of us actually live in Britain?

*Puts hand up*
Also fingers crossed for another Theodora picture; preferably without her never described sunglasses.

So. I'm done. But I'm at out for the theatre tonight so haven't much time to post any thoughts... sorry for the torment for those of you outside the UK.

Yeah, alternated various coffee shops around London until I got to the end...
So many things to say, but will wait until someone else is here with me.

Gliquey is in the UK. (A high proportion of Snicket people are, actually.)
Have not had time to get to Waterstones today. The other major bookshop in my city doesn't have it.

After this revelation I am determined to get it; sadly I don't think I can tomorrow without some 'creative' time acquisition

I've read it now. It was an emotionally draining experience. And a very, very good book. I'll need some time to collect my thoughts on it, and this is a busy week for me as well, but in addition to talking it over in the thread I will of course have a review coming at some point. But of course, if you're in this thread, you'll probably have the chance to read the book yourself before long. Fifteen days in advance... I hope that LB becomes aware that Egmont erred, and follows suit, so we can all enjoy the book together before long.
Just a couple of points for now: A millimetre. Yes. Hope you liked TPP.

So, back from the theatre (it wasn't very good, but perhaps my mind was on other matters). Most pressing thoughts so far. Full-sized full-novel danger spoiler things. : Looks like nobody will really be surprised on Hangfire's identity, or the function of the BB statue. Was startled at the notion that Hangfire seemingly intended to feed the kidnapped children to the Bombinating Beast, I was a fan of the theory he was trying to keep the innocent children out of harm's way.
I'm being summoned to bed now, but most pressing thought is:
Page 119, the carriage of the train nearest the engine is labelled as WDE. Shouldn't that be WPE, P for Pocket? In short: does not disappoint.
