Ok, so currently, the book for the new expansion is only available for preorder through Amazon.co.uk.
Checking Amazon.com shows it not available YET. (Hopefully VERY soon!)
Of course, I haven't had time to check every International Amazon Site, so feel free to check your own and see if it's coming, or not even there.
Not really sure why it's not showing up in non UK sites yet, unless it's just an artifact of the time zone differences.
Anyone else seeing it in thier own international site yet?

I'm ordering it next week as soon as I get paid! I'm not that big on books or reading in general, but EVE makes me weak at the knees (even if the GMs do absolutely hate me when it comes to reimbursement petitions)!

Talked to ccp rep's about this at New York Comic-con, They said the sales outside of UK were bound up in a rights dispute/negotiation and would be cleared up (and the book then offered for sale) as soon as possible. Seemed to be a problem at the publisher/distributer level.

What does the book contain? Is it just backstory or does it have something useful?

it has the cheatcodes.
Hold Ctrl and type in Quafe for secret content.
err, rather.. its a novel, written in the eve universe, containing some elements about things that have already happened (current backstory) as long as things that will touch in Factional Warefare.
For example, the protagonist is, iirc, the same wacky caldari fellow who took over that station/Corp last week.

Yeah I'd like to see this book on the international site with a nice... low USD price tag. If I preorder now it will cost me $35.71 (including shipping). If the preorder sales price ends the book will cost me $50.48 (including shipping) which is ridiculous. I'm a hard core EVE fan with lots of memorabilia but no way am I spending $50 on a book. $20 is a nice price.
Haha the worthless value of the USD is not my fault... come on... now I'm poor by international standards... subsidize please!

I've contacted the publisher, Orion Books, about selling the book in the US on Amazon.com. They replied to me saying that they were considering it but are going to wait a couple weeks to decide if they will pursue it... if at all.
So as of right now... the book may never be published in the US. Which really upsets me seeing that this is an international game and all... Aren't most of the subscribers for EVE US based?
I'm telling CCP on them for being a bad publisher.

The problem is that they are a UK based publisher so it's probably not just as simple as deciding to sell in the US and then doing it. I bet there are silly little rules and other such things that need to happen first.

I believe you're right... But it's one thing to say "We're working on it..." and it's another to say "We might do it in a few weeks... if at all..."
Key word being "If at all" Which is a direct quote from the email I received. I'm OK waiting... but I'm not OK if it never happens.

Yeah, that would really stink.
Does this mean that US players that want the book are going to get punished with cross-Atlantic shipping charges? (Assuming that Amazon.co.uk even SELLS to non-GB folks.)
