HarperCollins Australia has a new toy to play with..

Look at this... a shiny new "browse inside" feature for HC titles. Aren't they just the clever ones:)


Browse Inside this book

They don't have all my titles up yet (I'm assuming it's yet) and they're clearly not adding them in chronological order... (Warlord is up but not Wolfblade or Warrior... huh?) but the full list is here.

Have fun wasting time while you should be working:)

It's pretty cool, but the loading time sucks if you have 256k or less for your interweb. Plus it doesn't dynamically load the page you are trying to load (I like to skip ahead).

Still, really awesome quality, and a really nice tool for people who don't wanna buy books cold.

*Leaves for school to learn how to do this sort of program*


Wow. 355 pages is one heck of an 'extract'.


Hi Jennifer, ARGH!I just HAD to check out the book since you posted the widget, so I clicked on it and started to read. After the 1st 3 chapters, I did what I had told myself I was NOT going to do. I went to the bookstore and ordered the hardback. I do not have room to buy hardbacks. I really don't. I own more than 2000 books. I could not wait any longer for this book! You can't imagine how lousy it is, knowing that it will be 2011 before the 4th one comes out here. You should push the publisher here in the States to release them every 6 months. Better idea. Who can I email here in the USA? I'll make a pest of myself. Promise! :-)


The publisher is Tor. When you get the book, it should have their details on the inside cover, or you could check out their website at www.torbooks.com.

Good Luck:)


That's a great tool but you really shouldn't have have posted it! I've been trying to avoid buying books from Australia as my hubby says I spend too much :( He just can't understand why I can't wait for the UK publications...silly man!
I wonder how many other Brits have an almost exclusive collection of your Ausie published books?
Just a quick question, how do I get a signed book?


If you contact me by email, I can give you details.

I'm thinking of setting up an ebay shop for just that sort of thing:)
