What I, the A&R Staffer, Know about BD

Postby Mallie on Thu Apr 17, 2008 11:45 pm

Okay, I work at Angus and Robertson in Manly (For those of you who DON'T Know lol :P), so I know some stuff about this (Rhon's also looking into the embargo thing for me, thank you Rhon!)

There's talk of Hachette Livre (the publisher) putting an embargo on Breaking Dawn, which would mean we would not be allowed to release it to the public until a specified date, most likely August fourth

HOWEVER - If HHA chooses NOT to go with the embargo, YES we will get the book about July 31/30/29. It all depends on HHA.

(Pleeeeease HHA don't go with the embargo!)

thought I'd post here too but this was put up a few days ago on the other Aussie forum and the lexicon.... apparently things have changed in the UK and the date for BD has been pulled forward again to the 2nd in order to facilitate much partying.... let's pray this flows on to the Australian distributors as well...

*nods* yup, this is a possibility. in fact, one of the girls at another store is asking her rep.. actually it was supposed to be yesterday *runs off to check*

Okay. No new news - but it LOOKS like they're discussing changing it back to August 2nd

girl from Twilight Australia wrote: Not yet. I spoke to my rep (who was in meetings all day so it wasnt until late this arvo) and she was getting onto head office. They were "looking into it". She hopes to have an answer for me tomorrow morning so as soon as I know you'll know...so darn frustrating!


So, looks like there IS a possibility we'll get it August 2. A small possbility.

it is definitely NOT worth breaking it. Our store would never get any books from that publishder again, we could be sued for breaking a contract, and a lot of other publishers wouldn't deal with us. definitely not worth it.

Yeah I heard that too. itzwhitelighter at TA has apparently spoken to Hachette

thought I'd share (incase you didn't get the message- i thought it odd that i received an email)

Hey guys,

Okay. So, while I didn't get a chance to personally call Hachette Livre/Alliance Distribution services yesterday, Rhonalyn did it today.

Unforunately, it isn't good news for the Aussie fans (all others feel free to disregard this)..

"There is an embargo for Aug 4. So there's no chance of reading it earlier than that." (quoted straight from Rhonalyn, thank yooou for that Rhon)

*sighs* well. We tried. Sorry guys.
xx Mallie


*sighs* v.sad.
