Shadow Ticket Shadow Ticket paperback

Today the paperback was released and haven’t seen much discussion about it. Wondering if anyone grabbed their copy?

Online says Target would have em but none of my targets had any on display. And amazon isnt selling the paperback for some reason. Only the large print version. anyone know why?

I’ve seen them at Barnes as of this week! Best to pick one up in person to be sure of what you’re getting

Nice! I prefer paperbacks opposed to hardcovers! But when its an author i love I cant wait the year for paperbacks!

I've experienced this a couple times with Target, for books and vinyl records.

The website says they stock it, even showed one time that the item was available for pickup in-store, and then I placed an order and sometime later some email arrives to say the order couldn't be fulfilled etc.

In Australia it's already been out since last year I think.

I thought that was the case here in Canada but it turned out to be a large print copy

Wasn't the paperback released last year? Or is this one having a different cover?

When does the hardcover release for you?

u/arcx01123 Inherent Vice 8d ago

Don't think it will. I'll have to import it. Not many Pynchon readers here I guess.
