Well I went to two different book stores today and they did not have Backup yet. This is a sad thing. I was going to get it for me and as a b-day present for a friend. Now I have to wait and I hate that. I hated waiting this long!

Brick and mortar bookstores will NOT receive copies of Backup.  You can only find it at online retailers.  Order from Subterranean Press or from Amazon, B&N, or Borders through the Jim-Butcher.com store.

As of today, Nov. 2, none of the big sellers (Amazon, Borders, BN, including their online stores) have copies of Backup.  And they have no explanation as to why it wasn't delivered to their warehouses by Oct. 31.  I just found out that it is a limited edition publication.  What on earth were Jim's adivsors thinking?  Well, I am terribly disappointed as I was so looking forward to the first Thomas Wraith story.  Amazon's website says it's a 3-5 week wait, if they can get copies at all.   :(

I tried to get this from the book store they did not have it. Then I tried to get it from the press and they are sold out, the second print is sold out and they are not planning a third release. So is it going to be put out by anyone else? Or am I just out of luck?

Limited Edition? Indeed what were they thinking. I just found about it a couple of days ago and won't have money for months....dang school. LOL... I sit in hope that they will change their minds and have more copies available next year

I just got my copy yesterday and LOVED IT. I would love to hear more from Thomas's point of view.

Is SP going to put out a soft cover version of the book?

I finally got my copy yesterday.  I find it to be a good stand alone.

No. Not even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise.
