when i see soneone in a store/library with a yw book i just go over and tell them what great books they are and how they should read it. my little cousin is 6 and i got her to read SYWTBAW and she actually understood it. i got her to summerize it for me. it was amazing. some of you may have met david stubee. i told him to read them he has now become obsessed. he goes on this website every mourning.

Whoot! I have four of my friends at uni reading the books - I managed to get another copy of SYWTBAWfir fifty cents from a market stall - one of them finished it in a night - and got hooked in the first two pages and was reading it during the lectures ... the one who started first is onto Dilemma.

And when you've converted them, they'll have to nag their parents to buy the books from Amazon? Or they'll all have to go to specialist shops like Forbidden Planet. Still, if you can brainwash enough kids, maybe they'll demand enough copies that UK publishers pay attention again .

PM to be honest Im with you on this! I mean Ive alwasy had to buy in my DD books from the internet!! Its not right!! But waterstones say they will order it in and the campus bookshop will order anything in print just have to wait a little longer for stuff thats all.

Isn't it so nice when the biblio powers that be are willing to comply/give you a hand?

Question: why don't UK booksellers carry the YW books?

vv

I am trying and failing to get a friend hooked on the books, but I think I have her close to saying she'll read them. Then we'll be able to talk about everything that happens in the series.

There's no UK publisher for them. There used to be, but DD said in a chat they didn't sell too well, so publishers now won't touch them, based on the old UK sales rather than current US sales.

And it's the same for New Zealand and I think, quite difficult in Australia. The only way I get my hands on them is through American booksellers in New Zealand. *sniff, sob, supporting Americanisation woe!*

when somekid about 12 he seemed to have a lot of trouble looking for a book so i gave a sugestion of so you want to be a wizard and when i went back to the library yesterday he was a DD fan so i told him to come to this website

[Gigo]

Did he sign up? Yay, you might have recruited another victim!

Fear our sanity. Or lack of it.

I have never met anyone or seen anyone with SYWTBAW or any of the books! It's so sad but when people ask me for book recomendations (everyoen knows that I love reading) the forst one I say is The Young Wizards Series. I told Dain about it and he came here.. I guess i did get soemone hooked but he doesnt come here anymore. I guess I will have to seek out a new victim... (MUHAHA! )

Oh, if youw ant to read another good series read teh Cirque Du Freak. Those are really good!
