Because maybe she wants Father Xmas to buy it for her?

In fact, so do I!

It's out in June, that's along wait until December.

 

I think everyone should buy a copy for a Binner, it's bound to contain 'that' photo they all love so much. 😀

that was not aimed at Kathy

my point was why can one no longer just order some thing, as before

No worries.

You would have been right though. GH just brings out the giggly schoolgirl in me.

Probably because people (publishers) like to get a more accurate idea of how many might be needed to fulfil pre-orders. Thus saving money, thus making more and ensuring that Holty doesn't have to go on an Alan Partridge level pulping session.

eh ?

then why not just allow folk to order as you might do with a hotel, a holiday, football tickets, a hospital appointment ?

and publishers have a fairly good idea what numbers are needed for the first print run

it just seems a rather bizarre misuse of words
