it's a surprise

so i walk into indigo today (canada's second largest bookstore) thinking i'd buy myself the godfather returns. when i walk to the section i find the hardcover only, and it's $40. i couldnt belive the price on the book. i ask if they have the paperback, and of course they don't. it isn't scheduled to come out at all, maybe in 6 months was her response. i quickly run over to see how much the godfather is, and was puzzled to see it at $7.95. i won't buy the godfather returns at such a high price. am i wrong to think this way? does it make me less of a fan because i choose not to buy a poorly written book for a high price? soothe me, please. lol.

Absolutely not. If you want to read it, get it from a library. If you still want to buy it (being a fan), get a used copy online. I suspect there'll be A LOT of used copies being sold (cheaply).

Why not buy it off of this site Mr. Soprano?

But why do you wish so much to buy it? I read the first chapter that was in the net and spoilers here and feel myself quite sick enough of it.

I got my copy at Wal- Mart for 17 dollars.

Let's make a deal - You send us Canadian drugs and we will send you copies of GFR. Naw - we couldn't screw you like that - although it would move the US from a trade deficit to a surplus

that's funny provalone.

and i know it's not worth reading, or buying. but i still can't help my curiosity.

I won't sell mine. I might burn it, but I won't sell it.

are you trying to save people the pain of having to read that book sc?

My sister brought the book before Christmas. She put it down after the 2nd chapter and hasn't opened it back up since. She wants to know feedback on whether she should finish it. I guess the answer is no.

Just so you know, the hardcover is always the 1st release in the U.S. and at a higher price. The price you saw was too high, however. The paperback customarily arrives 6-8 months following the hardcopy. It's just standard in the U.S.

Your best bet would be to buy used. I got mine from Amazon at 7.98 (US). $40 bucks (US, Canadian or whatever) is wayyyyy too much for this substandard novel, unless there's an easy refund policy.

I've found that eBay and Amazon's New/Used section are the best ways to go in buying newer releases; so what there's a thumbprint on the inner cover or the jacket has a slight rip?

I bought mine for $40 Canadian but I had a $20 gift certificate from like two years ago, so i didnt blow all of my money
