Question: I want to buy this book but I'm can't tell when it's supposed to come out!?

I've found on Amazon that a book I want is supposedly coming out on December 17, 2008!. But everywhere else seems to say November 1, 2009!?

It's Beginner's Finnish by Agi Risko!.
I'm just not quite understanding this!. If they allow me to preorder it wouldn't that mean it would come out on that date!?

I searched for the book on Amazon, Amazon-UK, Borders, and Barnes and Noble!. What I got:

Amazon: Like you said, Dec 17!. So, yes to your question; if they allow you to preorder it then the book will come out on that date!.

Borders: The same as Amazon; you can preorder it and you'll get it by Dec 17th 2008!. http://www!.borders!.com/online/store/Sear!.!.!.

Amazon-UK: It doesn't come out until Nov 2009!. http://www!.amazon!.co!.uk/Beginners-Finnis!.!.!. I don't know why though!. Maybe because it's in a different country and would be published there at a different time!.

I didn't find it at Barnes and Noble, except for one that said it was published in June of 2008!. http://search!.barnesandnoble!.com/Beginne!.!.!.

The book you are asking about is the edition printed in 2008!. If you don't want to wait for it, or you really need it now, you can get the edition printed in 2004!. I don't know what the differences are, but you might want to check it out!. http://www!.amazon!.com/gp/product/0781810!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've preordered from amazon quite a few times and they do ship the book out the day it's released so barring the postal service it should be there in 3-5 days!. I would base the release date on amazon due to the fact its a pretty reputable site!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
