Apparently it's only available in the UK only.
It makes no sense to me considering that CCP is Icelandic, the Author, Tony G is American, and unless I recall wrong, over half the Eve player-base is in the US.
All the hype for the book and there's no way to get it unless you're in the UK as far as I can tell, unless you want to have it imported. I will buy it when it's available here, but I'm not ordering it from overseas.
Yes, I'm slightly annoyed.

You can buy them at some international bookstores, such as borders (a lot of those in the US)

Are you deliberatly being dense? i linked you a specific page for the book itself from Amazon.com to watch for it coming back in stock, yet you keep on spouting BS that its "Only available in the UK"

went to border, they have no idea that book is even a book. It's in no databanks and I gave them the book code but they found nothing.
p.s. (I knew they wouldn't but I was in the mall, wanted to make sure before I made a point.)

Since most people seem to have no idea what's going on, this was posted earlier:

I still can't find it anywhere in the US except from Amazon.com
As mentioned elsewhere, the books' publisher, ORION, has not yet finalized a US publication deal. Even the Amazon.com orders are unlikely to be filled. We are working with them to expedite this process but it takes time and is not 100% under our control.

I'll say it again: CCP owns a freaking publishing company, White Wolf. How it's so hard to work out a deal to publish it in the US is beyond me. How many books are published internationally nowadays? It's not like this is groundbreaking stuff. I think CCP was just lazy about their terms with Orion.

Mean, kind of silly, i ordered a EON magazine and it took around a week to get here IMO they should at least have some small stocks in places or something like that, not send everything with the Snail mail UK ... --------------------

The deal with ORION was done before the merger with White Wolf. The book business does not move at a fast pace, and we're doing what we can to speed up the process so US readers can buy the book at US stores & prices.

what what? holy **** it is that slower? the art book came out in like what... a year? 6 months? I guess we know why you bought a publishing company...
so does that mean that factional warfare was in fact delay for 2 years because of this ORION deal?

no I think it's more of a shipping will cost more than the book deal.

CCP don't "own" White Wolf, far from it, it's a partnership type dealeo.
