I've got them! Today *coughmybirthdaycough* I saw them at a bookstore and bought them. They were supposed to be released on the 26. Just for all of you to know the tie-in editions of the first three books are not worth it. They are just the SAME version but not even with a different cover, but with a bookjacket over the normal book. However, the other movie books, like the posters, postcards, behind the scenes, and puzzles, are really cool. Specially the first three, the puzzles one is kind of crappy actually.
Sorry I can't give you photos but you have to trust me.
BTW, I also saw a "do you think you know everything about LS" book. It's really a shame the way some people try to make money out of this kind of series. It basically is just a bunch of questions, like a quiz, on the first 10 books of ASOUE.

Thanks for the tip. I got $105 dollars worth of Borders and Barnes and Nobles gift cards for my b-day. Maybe i'll use em for the posters and postcards....
Happy Birthday!

I don't see why you can't just steal the dust cover and put it around the books you already have... maybe they'll be different in BRitain as we always get the better things coughlemonysnickettoysatburgerkingwhenthefilmcomesoutcoughcough

Yeah, if you can, scan some of the posters or take pics or something. Especially, you know, anything involving the troupe.

I haven't had time to check the whole books but I have a slight idea of them.
The puzzles look crappy. Some are very funny and witty but still a little crappy. The behind the scenes is nice. It has a lot of pictures and some concept sketches and the main scenes and storyline. From the posters and postcards there are some really cool pics. There's one from the play, with the WPF women dressed "almost" like in Brett's drawing, but w/white gowns and hearts on their cheeks and stuff. There's one of "orlando" where he's half man half woman, that one's pretty cool too.
