It'll still be this Autumn, so I'm gonna put one whole Euro cent on it being sometime in mid-November in order to get the most of the Christmas present buying season.

HoodedMatt, I hope that is the case! :) It would make sense. I just don't like the looks of that "NO" of "no release date" being in all caps.

It is a little emphatic, no? I suppose they just want to make absolutely clear that Amazon UK have been somewhat cheeky and shot their wad a little earlier than they should. Which isn't unheard of. I pre-ordered a book from them a few years back and received an email adjusting the release date before it actually got released.

Or someone held the shift button down and mis-typed No as NO. sometimes the simplest explanations . . . ;)

I really do hope it's published in Brazil. I'm not sure if Jenniffer Lynch's one was released here then I have doubts about it.

Jonatan, by 'Jennifer Lynch's one' you mean The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer?
It was published in Brazil by Editora Globo around the time the show first aired here in 1991, so as Scott Frost's Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes.

I'd like to think they just don't want the release date out there yet. It would be weird to just fabricate one out of nothing, so maybe Amazon UK's doppelganger got loose and is acting up. :lol:

I don't care if it's October '16, as long as it comes out!

Yes, Sam.. I meant "The Secret..".
I tried to find it and never got it.

In a quick search on Estante Virtual I found Jennifer Lynch's book. It costs around US$ 240.

Frost's is around US$ 30.

Wow, 80 bucks for a used book? Pretty expensive. Don't buy it unless you really want it :D
I don't have the brazilian edition of the Diary anymore. I was never a fan anyway so I gave it to a friend for her birthday. She read it and loved it.
I have the US edition.

Aren't you Brazilian, are you?
It's trully expansive and I'll not buy it. I'd like to read it but not for this price.
The price in the site is in Real... in dollar you will pay 240 bucks for.

Isn't it the other way round, 1 Real = 0.32 USD (Google sez so)? Then the Diary comes at "only" about 30 USD rather than the insane amount of 240 USD ;-)
