I have found all of Brandons books at both Barnes and Nobles and Boarders in the area im from im Massachusetts. I was fairly surprised at this because in the past i have had issues with finding books from authors at either location and i figured due to Brandon being a fairly new author they would have a small selection. needless to say i was plesantly surprised.

I wish Mcnally Robinson would hop on the Brandon Train.
And miyabi, if you did type up those chapter you would definately be my hero for life (or at least until I want something else very badly, and someone provides).  Who knows, maybe Brandon will post them on his site soon.  I hope!

eh, i could be wrong but i don't think Brandon wants us to use this forum to hand out chapters of his books. Quotes are perfectly ok, compilations of the epigraphs are plenty fine, but i would make sure to get his permission before you start posting whole sections of his books here.

Okay, I just double checked, and here's what you get in the new pb releases.

FE: Prologue for HoA
WoA: You get the first chapter of a book by Daniel Abraham titled "An Autumn War".  Before that you do get a page and a half summery of book one, but that was also in the hardback version.  Is this the sample chapter you guys are refering to?
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

That's interesting.  They must print different sample chapters in different copies.  In the FE paperback I bought for my brother's birthday it had a sample chapter of MB3, from Spook's viewpoint.    (I read the chapter before giving it to my brother. :))

Hm... I guess you're right, that isn't the prologue.  (And that's what I have as well.)  It also isn't the first chapter (at least, so far as I remember it isn't the first chapter.  I went to a signing where EUOL read it to us, and it had to do with Elend.)  Now I wonder what it is exactly... *starts reading*

I just got to read that sample chapter myself today. I was browsing a local bookstore, and there it was! I think I was making quite a fool of myself in the store (I did a little happy dance), but I really don't care. It was awesome and it's making me burst with anticipating for HoA.

Don't feel guilty, I was joking, sort of, exaggerating certainly.  I just love working myself up about things like this :P.
