Zelda Book Pre-Order Tops 50 Shades of Grey

Getting my pre-order for the book right away. I ALMOST bought the Japanese version when it was up for pre-order, but missed out. Now I'm glad I "waited"!

Yep, I pre-ordered it as soon as it went up on Amazon UK.

I preordered this. Can't wait.

Woah, I want it.... but it's also expensive.

I want both this and the Skyward Sword Link action figure.

Oh wait, today I heard my job's hiring me for another year. I could reward myself with these items.

So lemme get this straight, did Hyrule Historia outsell the greatest selling book of all time? Or just in pre-orders or in this single week?

Either way I'm really glad it's doing so well! Maybe it'll do well enough for them to consider a price drop :3 I didn't know Zelda was this popular in the west.

Wait, is 50 Shades of Gray the greatest selling book of all time? I really hope you're wrong.

Also, what's up with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association being number 3? It's been in the top 100 for over two years now.

I don't know that book, but it can only be the best selling book on Amazon.com. I know for sure that I've never seen the book in any top 10 lists.

What stores in the US will sell this? Will I have to go to a Boarders, a Barns & Noble or will GameStop be selling these as well?

Don't know - but I'd honestly just recommend placing your order with Amazon. Their price is roughly  $10-15 off MSRP, which is likely what you'll pay at a regular shops. I made my pre-order with them. 

Are there openings in preorders still? I don't really like relying on Online Purchases/Shipping from some bad experiences but I'll do it if this is the least headache endusing.

Yeah, they're open. I'm a big fan of Amazon. They haven't screwed up on me yet.

What! I just discovered that it's only out in January 2013!

I was going to pre-order it... but paying for something half a year in advance is not something I like to do. I hope I'll remember to pre-order it closer to launch.

Edit: also, I'm really really into Zelda at the moment. I spend a lot of time (at work) on the Zelda Universe forums. I'm finishing my unfinished Zelda games and I plan on replaying some others.
I really want the book right now... and not early next year.

Surely pre-ordering ASAP is the way to go if you know you really want it? Touch wood, it won't be completely sold out closer to release, but you never know with these kinds of things. The earlier the better.

I just pre-ordered it from Amazon Germany (it's only 46th of all best-selling books there, 1st for English books though). If the item description is to be believed, it'll only be released in English across Europe.

Ah yeah you guys are right. I'll preorder it to make sure I'll get a copy. I didn't know I wouldn't be charged yet.
I guess getting it from Amazon.de is cheaper than Amazon.co.uk, but I'll have to check.

In the meanwhile, I'll be making papercraft models of Zelda stuff. Working on Majora's Mask right now!

Honestly I'm the other way around, I'd prefer they take the money as soon as I've placed a pre-order so I don't forget about it/don't have the funds available upon charge time. If money was an issue I wouldn't be buying said item in the first place....but since I want it I'd rather be charged NOW instead of forgetting about it & issues arise later down the road that prevent me from honoring payment.
