Ethical what?!
Sep. 15th, 2011 09:23 amInteresting. I just ordered two books from an online seller. One of the books was available now and the other was a pre-order. The second book not being due for release for another week or so from now. So when a book turned up, I assumed it was the first volume. That was, until I opened the packet and there was the other unreleased book. In the light of all the kerfuffle over early release of GRRM's A Dance with Dragons in some places, I'm wondering if there is cause for concern or action I should take.
For background I should say that a google search revealed only one item about early release of this (fairly prominent) title and that was a small window of opportunity for electronic versions only. It also has to be said that I won't actually have read this book by the actual release date. In fact I'm more worried about getting the first book - it is actually the one I want to read first.
ETA: The other (first) book just arrived. Supposedly shipped two days before the other book and arriving two days later. Ah the vagaries of the postal system.
