Hopefully it shows up in the UK. As I mentioned TOR has it in the US (That one of the SF/F imprints of Simon and Schuster (sp?) who is the publisher of record). Tor is doing a good job of publicizing their books via the weekly email newsletter. That's where I saw the mention of the Riddle-Master and the Dark is Rising. While not all of Tor's books appeal to me, they kind of remind me of Baen Books, when Jim Baen was still alive. Rule number one of marketing, no one is going to buy it if they don't know it's out there. I'm really surprised that more publishers (or more specifically genre imprints) aren't more proactive about marketing, sending out news letters and the like.
