UK Day!

MAGICTHIEF UK

Today is the day that The Magic Thief officially comes out from Quercus in the UK, and [update!] after a brief google search I find that it's out in Australia/New Zealand in October (http://www.murdochbooks.com.au/magicthief.htm).

That's the cover, the penultimate version without the Diana Wynne Jones blurb at the bottom. But you get the idea...

Cheers!

I love that there are dragons on this cover!

And it doesn't look quite as glare-ific as I thought from the original pix. I'd love to see the actual book. I bet it's awesome.

I'm looking forward to seeing the actual book quite a lot.

Funny about the dragons on the cover, as there aren't any dragons in the book. Only implied ones, really.

It's pretty awesome. I get to be on a panel with DWJ in about two and a half weeks... I am both excited about this, and nervous as heck.

Oh Gorgeous cover! I actually like it better than the US version.

And happy release day!! *confetti*

Thanks. It was crazy at dayjob (yes, I haven't managed to actually leave that job yet) and confetti is just what I needed.

I am reading The Magic Thief to my eight-year-old son at the moment -- he loves it and keeps asking me to read him "just one more" chapter!

I hope you do marvellously in the UK -- though I already feel sure that you will.

Thanks! It's cold and gray and rainy here, which somehow seems appropriate.

Or maybe I should have written grey.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who loves this cover. It's sparkly!!! I would have been spellbound to pick it up when I was young... and maybe even now. :)

Congratulations on another milestone!

Thanks, Lady! It IS sparkly. You know my tastes run to the plain, so it was a stretch at first, but I've come to love it a lot.

Thank you!

You know, it just occurred to me to wonder if it's got illustrations on the inside as the US edition does. I suspect not...

Looks great! I love how retains similarities to the US version, but also very sparkly and new at the same time.
