      picked up the kindle edition just now.

      I have the Kindle version, too.  Just a quick warning- it has some minor formatting issues; nothing really serious, but mildly annoying.

          Sounds like it's not about clothes though:

            I got a copy of The Republic of Thieves signed by Scott Lynch. I need to get around to reading it, as it ended up in boxes before I got through it.

            I really enjoyed The Lies of Locke Lamora, which was the first book in the series. If you haven't read it, and are into your fantasy epics, then it's worth a look.

              The Gentleman Bastard series is pretty damn entertaining. I didn't love The Lies Of Locke Lamorra, mostly for a couple of stylistic quirks by Lynch.  The subsequent two books, on the other hand, I liked much more.

              This reminds me that I've gotta stop reading unfinished, still in progress series.  Waiting for the next book always sucks.  Looking at you in particular, Patrick Rothfuss…

                Tell me about it. It's like he's having the opposite of a race with George R. R. Martin.

                                  Bought this in Vancouver for about $5 Canadian (out of print) and although I don't read French the pics and bits I get are very cool. I'm a big fan of Hudson's Bay blankets so I am very excited to have this book.

                                      Been meaning to thank @michaeljcr for this recommendation for years.  The fourth book in the series, The Guns Of Empire just came out, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it as much as I did the first three.

                                        Yes indeed! I left Del Rey at the end of 2015 to go freelance, but it's great to see book four coming out from Head of Zeus. I was just emailing with Django last week about it. I'm torn between the instant gratification of having the eBooks, or waiting a week or so for the nice hardback to come out.

                                          Hardback came out in the US on Tuesday, and since I preordered, Amazon delivered it on Tuesday.  I love my Kindle, but nothing beats a hardback for overall reading experience.

                                          Hope the freelancing is going well for you, by the way.

                                            I agree. The U.K. Kindle edition is out now, and much cheaper, but I really want the HB. I have nothing against eBooks and eReaders, they're very useful for work, actually, but nothing beats the physical book.

                                            I'm enjoying the freelance life, thanks, no weekly trips to London and there seems (fingers crossed) to be plenty of work available right now.

                                            Plus, working from home means I might be able to get a dog, and you can't put a price on that. Well, except that Beagle puppies seem to be about £400-£500. Aside from that, you can't put a price on it…
