The above is a screen capture of HONOUR OF THE KNIGHTS' stock over at Gardners, the supplier to most UK book stores. It says zero, nip, none, less than 1. What does that mean? It basically means that once the allocations have sold out in stores and online retailers (which it is doing quite often), there is no more supply until more copies are printed; and that could be 4 - 6 weeks' time!
Some would say that this is good because it means the book is selling out. What it means to me is that people are unable to get their hands on my book and have to just stick with the sample chapters until more copies turn up.
So, once the current stock in Waterstone's, etc. is exhausted, that'll be it for a while. It means that the Waterstone's in Greenwich and Piccadilly won't be getting their copies for a while either. A royal pain in the arse and completely out of my hands. Ah well.
I'll keep tabs on what's happening and get into the shops to sign the copies once they arrive.
