And very good it is, too! It is more in the vein of Vanish with the psychological thriller aspect, than some of the other more graphically violent earlier books, but still manages to get your heart racing, and induce that fear of turning off the light!

[Michelle]

Grr.. my requested copy hasn't turned up at the library yet! :(

[Sugar]

That is the joy of having friends in publishing who sneak you proof copies!!!

Just had a thought about that though, Michelle. I'll send you a PM in a bit.

how long will it take to get to me (london) if i order it now?
btw is this real Link (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mephisto-Club-Tess-Gerritsen/dp/0593055918/sr=8-6/qid=1158681566/ref=sr_1_6/026-5719075-0505248?ie=UTF8&s=gateway) ?
and how big do you think the print would be here Link (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mephisto-Club-Tess-Gerritsen/dp/0739326244/sr=8-1/qid=1158681655/ref=sr_1_1/026-5719075-0505248?ie=UTF8&s=gateway)
it says its large print ? will it be for sure because thats only what it says on the cover?

[Michelle]

I changed your links.. those long links break the page.

With regards to your first link, they probably don;t have a release date for the paperback yet.
With regards to the second, it say 'Publisher: Random House Large Print Publishing' so it should be large print. As for how large, I have no idea..! :)

[boris]

ook thanks for the link stuff, when do you think it will be out here? are all of you ordering from america ?

[Michelle]

For some strange reason, Amazon isn't selling the 'normal' hardback, just the large print one. You can get it through marketplace traders though.. Link (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mephisto-Club-Tess-Gerritsen/dp/0345476999/sr=8-6/qid=1158684894/ref=sr_1_6/026-4479363-8624426?ie=UTF8&s=gateway)

Sugar explained that she has a proof copy.. and I'm waiting for my library to get it in.

[boris]

sorry for sounding dumb but what is a proof copy?

[scottishbookworm]

maybe a proof copy is like as copy for people to look over and see if they like it.

I don't know if that's the right answer.

I've never read any Tess G. Is this the best one? Which would you reccommend, if you were to pick just one?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. :typing: If you wanted to starting Tess the one book that got me hooked was called "Body double" but if you want to try that one go ahead and try it. :reading:

I just saw that one at a used bookstore and almost picked it up. I will now, at your reccommendation. I like to get reccs because ususally you get the pick of the bunch that way. Thanks, Michelle!

[Michelle]

KW, you keep calling everyone Michelle...?
personally, Body Double may not be the best, because it's in the middle of a series. I started with The Apprentice, which was good in it's own right, but I then went and got The Surgeon, to start at the beginning. I can't get her official site to load right now, but it shows you the order of those books, plus her other thrillers.

[KW]

You mean everyone ISN't named MICHELLE?LOLOL!

Oooops....blonde blunder on my part. Sorry, all! I'll be better. No, I don't have an affinity for the name, either. Just a little loopey over here.

A proof copy (also known as an Advanced Reading Copy) is a copy of a book that the publishers produce pre-publication. These copies will be sent out to reviewers, sales people, and other people in the book trade. They are essentially a marketing tool - but are also used as a last edit check - there are often typo's and sometimes words may be slightly different in the finished copy, and occassionally a whole sections of the plot may change!

Hope that clears it up - I shouldn't assume everyone knows publishing lingo!

[Kell]

I've got several proff copies, one of which is of Good Omens by Pratchett & Gaiman - it's one of my most prized posessions & one of these days I hope to have it signed by both authors! :)
