No, not the book by Annie Proulx — Quarter Share.

Amazon now lists it in stock and Ridan reports they have recieved their initial shipments. I’m waiting for my boxes to show up here in the next day or so and you can order a signed copy of your own right now!

Pretty cool, I think.

Congratulations Nathan! This is truly wonderful- my favorite novel is finally in print! Is the signed copy the limited edition that was discussed a few weeks ago?

The signed, limited editions are in the pipeline. What we have now are the soft cover versions.

Congrats! I just bought the signed version….and the Kindle version. I may also come back for the limited edition version. Now I can finally lend this book to my friends who are skeptical about audiobooks!

Sweet! Just ordered it as well. Thanks for writing and recording such a terrific story Nathan. I can’t wait to share it with friends who don’t listen to podcasts.

Argh, once again a printed Podiobook which is not available in Europe after J.A. Areces’ Sorcerer series. Why does Amazon think we don’t want such stuff? At least I got Hutches “7th son” a while ago.

@Michael – wait, the limited edition hardcover is on sale too? Where is it? I can’t find it on the Ridan site.

Can anyone post the link for purchasing a limited edition copy? I haven’t found it on Ridan or Amazon. Is the limited edition out now? According to Nate, it wasn’t yesterday. Has this changed?

@Chess Griffin
@Michael S.

The link was sent in an email. There is only 250 and I am presuming the link was sent to the first 250 people who asked to be notified when QS became available.

I don’t think it is my place to post the link, even if it would be right neighbourly… :-(

Email Ridan and ask them to send you the link is my advice :-)

Yipee! Just ordered the hardcover, Nate. It has been a pleasure to listen to your books and watch your grow as an author. I’m tickled for you about the publishing deal and am so happy to add your book to our shelves of great novels. Emma, now almost 15, has enjoyed the ride along with me and I’ve ordered the book as a surprise for her birthday. Thanks so much for the gift of your stories. Can’t wait to collect them all in hardcover. And, of course, am eagely awaiting Owner’s Share. :) Best wishes on your sucess – Joan

Got my order in!

Simply Fantastic!

Been looking forward to this for quite a while, Sar… and I bet you’re even more excited than your loyal crew.

Congrats Nate! This has been a long time coming and we are all very excited about this first step into publishing your outstanding Trader’s Tales.
