Paperback alert?

March 18, 2008 1:03 PM

I have a list of books I want to purchase when they come out on paperback. Do you know of a service that will email me when that happens? (Amazon, Powells?)

My initial search hasn't turned anything up.

Thanks for your help!

You can preorder the paperbacks from either of those places, or really from just about any bookstore.

Response by poster: amazon will add it to a wishlist... dunno if they will email you when it is ready. (i don't think you can actually order the paperback ahead of time... they often don't list the prices, for one thing.)

I think I've seen this question on MeFi before and the answer was, "No such exists."

I just save these things on my Amazon list, and then compile my own list of release dates (and put them on a calendar or something).
