Question regarding ace trucking co

klute · 12 April, 2011, 11:21:17 AM

Is ace trucking co volume 1 out of print? wife ordered volume 1 from waterstones nearly 3 weeks ago they have none in warehouse and are awaiting stock.

Is it still in print or do i need to be looking at cancelling the order and looking elsewhere? or just wait?

Anyone know?

I just checked Amazon, Play.com and the Book Depository and none of them have any new ones in stock, which suggests the current printing is running low, so it isn't a Waterstones-only issue.

It depends on how soon you want it, but Rebellion are limited in the amount of trades they can get into print (see the "reprint this" thread and other comments by Robo-Keef), so if you want a copy I'd suggest cancelling at Waterstones and ordering from the shop here (which often has the last few copies of books sold out elsewhere):

If it's any help (unlikely) I know FP in Glasgow has this in stock.

Bit late to the party (as always), but the FP down here in Boro had both volumes in stock the other day. There a bit of a bugger to find if you do pop down this way, right on the bottom shelves on the end of the aisle.

Don't FP transfer stock for customers between branches?

It might be possible except that the store in Newcastle (the nearest to Durham) and the one here in Boro are two different companies. Newcastle is Forbidden Planet and the one here is Forbidden Planet(International)so I'm not sure if they move stock between themselves.

Aren't they carrying the 'International' a bit far... lol

Nah, there's an FPI in Dublin and one in New York, that I know of. Throw in the ones in Scotland and Wales and that's at least five nations. It's a long way from Denmark Street.
