Mine has been on pre-order since the announcement! Hopefully IF my QLD holiday goes ahead in Oct then that's my weeks reading taken care of!
RS is promoting the book. Article 15 Sept 2021 https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/foo-fighters-dave-grohl-tour-kurt-cobain-nevermind-1223578/ to go with the Youtube Trailer.
Does anyone know where these signed copies are coming from? I've seen a few people selling the pre-orders on eBay but can't see any sign of where is selling them. Just trying to find out if there's any retailers I might be able to order one from (I'm in the UK) and also validate the pre-orders on eBay are genuine.
Foyles had a very small run & seemingly were the only UK place to do so.
Books A Million and Barnes & Noblein the US had pre-orders, as did Chapters in Canada - however they over sold and cancelled a load of orders.
Barnes and Noble replied to a query and said they hold signed copies back for Black Friday… so a few more may appear then.
Rough Trade New York sold copies - so it looks like some went to indies as well

I know Foyles had some but they went in a flash.
Some of the US stores had them but you had to go in person, there was a Canadian store doing them online but thanks to time zones I missed out.
Australia and NZ no flaming chance! Our bookstores are all closed (in locked down Melbourne) so I can't even go and see the display and the life size cardboard Dave 😞
Yeah nothing in NZ - the release has even been delayed here a couple of weeks (my preorder advised anyway).
Not holding out much hope its so Dave can rest up to sign the all lol.
