the Fictional Realm / Fantasy

The actual book is going to be out on November 2! In the meantime you can buy the prologue from amazon. Which isn’t one of the longest prologues in the series for sure but has quite a few viewpoints. Also the preview of first chapter of the book is called “Apples First” and is available on Tor’s website. Brandon Sanderson has also released a preview of chapter 8 on his website and  there’s some pretty damn interesting stuff about Mat in it . Chapter 2 of “Towers of Midnight” is expected to be out around October 15th.

Now for the really hardcore fans there’s a way to get Towers of Midnight signed and numbered ( the number of the sold book ) without waiting in a line for hours or buying a ticket to fly to USA! Brandon & Sam Weller’s Bookstore have given us the opportunity to pre-order the book online (they did this last year as well, my signed and number copy of tGS is on the shelf beside me). The sad thing is that the price of international shipping has gone up to $45 (more details on shipping prices bellow) but you can actually fit 2 books in the package. I’m going to order a copy of “The Way of Kings” which will cost me additional $27.99 (see my note at the bottom) and in total that would be $96.98 (the Way of kings + the Towers of Midnight + international shipping).

Sam Weller’s Bookstore’s shipping rates:

UTAH:
In-store pick up, $25.63 per book
with shipping & handling, $37.63 per book. Shipping estimate, 2 – 4 business days

DOMESTIC, INCLUDING ALL 50 STATES AND ANY U.S. TERRITORIES
Shipping & handling will be $12.00 for a grand total of $35.99 per book
Shipping estimate, 2 – 5 business days.

CANADA & MEXICO
Shipping & handling will be $28.00 for a total of $51.99 per book.
Shipping estimate, 3 – 6 business days.

ALL OTHER INTERNATIONAL
Shipping & handling will cost $45.00 for a total of $68.99 per book.

So if you’re interested you need to read Brandon’s a lot more in depth description on what you have to do to get the book here.

A side note:

Looks like the prices on amazon are significantly cheaper so if absence of Brandon’s signature isn’t a deal breaker for you go ahead and  buy “Towers of Midnight” on amazon for $16.19. Also the Way of Kings (which is a MUST READ!) is just $18.47 on amazon. This is significantly cheaper than Sam Weller’s $25.63 ( tToM ) and $27.99 ( tWoK ).

UPDATE: Chapter 2 has been released and is available on Tor website. See here for more details.
