@notsotweets @Waterstones @waterstonesncl I talked to the publishers and we arranged a date so mine, theirs and bookshop preorders will go out first before it hits the shelves. It just isn't fair otherwise. Was annoyed when people were tweeting a book they'd bought and I'd preordered months ago and was still waiting.
