" How essential do you all think the new Night Shade volume is?" Well, I'm prejudiced, mind you, but I would recommend selling your first born to acquire a copy! :)
"I have RIA on order from a local brick and mortar, and hopefully they'll have it soon. I'm starting to get a little bit impatient with 'em, though, so we'll just have to see." Big mistake, you should have stuck with Frater Gavinicuss. B&M order from wholesalers like Ingram and Baker and Taylor, who do not stock Arkham House titles because Arkham House does not allow returns. Therefore when they order an Arkham title, the distributors refers them to order directly from AH, which all adds up to time. When you order from a mail order dealer like Our Gavin, you get prompt service, plus you don't pay sales tax, which is a major perk for me from a philosophical perspective. What Gavin charges for postage is definitely below his costs. Seriously, stick with speciality dealers for genre items; even your independent B&M stores can't do as well.
Best,
