I'm not entirely sure, but it appears that way. Usually, if Amazon are saying 1-2 months it's a stock problem (yes, bit obvious I know!) - and that would indicate that it's no longer available at the warehouse.

There are still signed copies of the hardback available at Goldsboro Books. If you're after a hard copy, then I think that's now your best bet:

As they are numbered and individually stamped - they are more collectible.

Hi.
Is the hardback now out of print? I can't see it available anywhere and Amazon say 1 - 2 months?

Hi Ectalion

The version of DQ1 you have ordered is the large trade paperback, which matches with this version of DQ2.

Large trade paperbacks are, as their name suggests, bigger than an ordinary paperback (cover is around 9 inches by 6 inches). It has a nice collector's feel to it. The 'mass trade' paperback out next year is the more cheaply produced version, at normal paperback size (i.e. smaller).

The second book is around 750 pages. Don't always trust the data on Amazon. ;)

I just noticed the page count:
672 for DQ1, 544 for DQ2. Still a happy panda.

Hi Boss, I pre-ordered the paperback DQ1 listed on Amazon at £16.99
Link here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0575118725/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

Which version is this? And which version of DQ2 matches it? I assume I have the (large) trade paperback?

Anyway, what's the difference between the (large) trade paperback and the 'small' trade paperback? Size?

Cheers, I'll cancel and re-preorder if necessary.

Looking at the product descriptions:

Hardcover is the (large) trade paperback
Hardcover 15 Nov is the hardback

To check, scroll down to product details, publisher. Hopefully this will get amended to make clearer.

Hi Echtalion

Just to clear some things up as the current Amazon listing for DQ2 is very confusing (if you've ordered through them - or intending to), they list the following:

Hardcover
Hardcover 15 Nov
Paperback

The £8.99 paperback is the small 'mass trade' paperback that is not out until next year 2013. Don't really understand why Amazon lists this so early, but hey ho.

Right, the two hardcovers - again, this is confusing. One is the hardback and one is the large trade paperback (the big sexy version of the paperback), both out on 15 Nov this year. I'm not clear myself which is which, as both have been cleverly listed as 'hardcover' - and I have asked my publisher to notify Amazon to get this changed. I am assuming the more expensive version is the actual hardback, but that may not be the case. I'll chase them today and see if I can get clarification.

At the moment, I haven't heard anything about promotional items for The Heart of Fire. I'd like to think there might be some (have plenty of ideas!). I'll keep people posted. Don't worry, if there are any pre-order promotions, then just keep a copy of your pre-order email and hopefully you won't miss out.

Well, there were bookmarks for those who pre-ordered, but I missed them as they were out of stock when I placed mine.

Other than the original paperback orders (and maybe a few other instances), the new edition of DQ didn't have any extras with them. DaBoss hasn't announced any extras for DQ2 yet.

That being said, I'm betting there will be some. We just don't know what or how to get them yet.

Hi,
Even though I pre-ordered the current book from amazon, I didn't get any of the promotional material. This time, I have already pre-ordered Destiny Quest 2 from amazon.co.uk.
Boss, I have 2 questions for you:
* Amazon states July 2013 as the release date, how accurate is this?
* Will I get some promos this time?

Cheers.
