I had been meaning to get into the books for these for an age. With the announcement for the show, I thought, ah what the hell, ill just buy them now finally.
So I ordered the first compendium (volumes 1 to 8) from a bookstore here, to avoid customs issues, and crazy postage. It was processing for MONTHS then just dropped from my account, with no mail or info to say why. I guess they couldnt get a hold of it, as its not available to buy from that store anymore.
Anyhoo, that was 3 months wasted waiting, and I now have the bug.
So I thought to hell with it, im gonna order em from overseas, who cares about expensive shipping. So I ordered compendium 1 and 2 (2 is just recently released I think).
So now on my shelf, I have book 2, sitting lonely, while omnibus 1 languishes in internet delivery hell.
Omnibus 2 is a thing of beauty, and its huge, but im hesitant to even flip through a few pages incase I get hit with some spoilers.

Im sure it will get here eventually, but after taking delivery of book 2 on friday, I felt the need to vent.
Now the dilemma is do I read them before the show, or vice versa? hmmmmmmm
...and so forth.
