Where's the best place to order the physical version of this book? Amazon is still showing 3 weeks to a month on shipping and it streets in 9 days. I've got the digitital but I've been wanting "This book" for Shadow run for years. Gotta get hard copy on this puppy.

The only other place I know of to order the print book is Battlecorps.

Local game stores, book stores (if they have the ISBN they can order it), and FastJack's link.

Amazon is still...

...the worst place to order Catalyst books from. Catalyst doesn't deal directly with Amazon, Amazon buys from somebody else then sells the books. I would recommend staying away from them if possible.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power is kinda neat.

Unless, of course, you find you can get all of the Quintet core books for $115 (including S&H). ;D

Hurm... $29 instead of $45... when I 'technically' already have the information from the PDF I've already legaly purchased from them?

I might take the hit and wait for Amazon to deliver, it's 33% cheaper.

I got my copy today!


It looks great, but there are a couple of things I'll have to post in the errata board about my copy...

(I'll try to sit down and do an errata list tomorrow.)

I ordered mine from eBay.  It was about 6 dollars more than Amazon, but well worth it to get it quickly.  Check the buy it now selections; you should find several around 30-40 bucks
