Open Thread: Fall Book Releases
I was at the bookstore today, and noticed two of fall’s big fantasy releases are already out: Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys and Robin Hobb’s Shaman’s Crossing. Coming out next Tuesday is Gregory Maguire’s Son of a Witch and the latest SW novel.
Also coming out soon is George R. R. Martin’s long-awaited A Feast for Crows, and – surprise! – yet another Wheel of Time book from Robert Jordan.

Fox limits ROTS distribution
Stores aren’t getting as many copies of Revenge of the Sith as they expect – Fox is limiting distribution to save on returns.
