    Well, you aren't the only one. At least one person over in this thread also got their copy early. I'm extremely jealous.

    The real reason I'm posting though is to ask... you ordered your copy from orbit? Were you on ISS? Or what?

    Just remember spoiler tags when you talk about it, or, you know, murder death murder and all.

    This would have been so much cooler had you actually ordered from orbit.

    Well, if you are going to go with early. I actually bought my copy from a bookstore... 2 weeks before it's release date.

    The book.

    I assume the pen is so you prove it's real. Write 'Susan deserved what she got' on a bit of paper and put it on top of the book.

    That's no proof. He could print a cover and wrap a different book in it, though I'm not sure why anyone would bother with it just to make people believe he has a book earlier. Anyway, showing us a photo of sixth chapter's first page or even a half of it, just to see if it's makes sense compared to the previous one and is written in Butcher's style, would be a much better proof.

    The best proof would be to send the book at once to one of us me so we I can check if it is indeed the real book!

    Otherwise, he may just as well be fooling us D:

    I'm not entirely sure if it's appropriate to post a picture of a chapter that had yet to be release here so I send it on PM to you.

    Actually, I'm not sure posting any picture of a chapter from a book is legal.

    Fair use covers you, although an unreleased work makes it a little tricky.

    Saw a photo and as far as I can tell it's a real deal. Another lucky guy to have a book early.

    I'm not 100% sure if I'm looking forward to the release so much. I don't know why, but what I heard about the story makes me feel like it's going to be a let down after the Epicness (much deserved capital E) of Changes.

    Good god, I saw Sunkarapk's display pic and I couldn't believe he made a pretty good post. Then I realized it wasn't him, and was very relieved the world wasn't ending.

    Freelancer, you should change the pic.

    ...

    I mean, good luck for you. Yes. It must be nice to already have a copy.

    The preview chapters have been a total tease so far, which I guess only makes sense. A very effective tease, too.
