Anybody found copy of Minutes to Midnight?

Powell's of Portland (http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9783869302058-0) is showing 25 copies in hand. After being rebuffed by the EBAY sale, I selected Powell's (just down the street from Seattle!).

thanks for posting this, i placed an order. i noticed the number in the warehouse didn't go down after my order, though, so i'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed.
 
I've been chasing this book for a loooong time. I ordered two copies from amazon.gb and from a local Australian retailer, hopefully at least one of them ships!

local australian retailers are normally useless, you have to import.

Especially useless when it comes to a great Australian photographer with a book of photos from Australia.
The AUS retailer is the backup. Also ordered through Amazon. I'll see how its going in a few days and order another (can't hurt to have 2...)

Canadians: Chapters' site claims to have it in stock.
I'm not a big collector of photo books, but I recognize Trent Parke's work and Stedl's print quality reputation. I may order it.

Looks like extra copies have made their way through distribution, at least in the UK and US, and are priced near retail. Search Amazon and Abe Books.

I doubt these will be available for long, especially at this price - photobooks are printed in low quantities (typically 1000—3000) and are increasingly not reprinted or re-editioned (even if popular) in order to appease collectors (i.e. they're limited editions, in the same way as photographic prints).

Thanks! Just ordered mine from Abe. Still a few available!
 
Ebay seller I linked above just discovered a "technical error" with my paid order, hence a delay. We'll see...(edit: shipped note from seller, maybe it's a go)

Sorry - I've been informed that there will be no reprints. ..

Received this reply from Matthias Wegener, Steidl's sales and marketing guy, today:

"2500 copies; the second run is scheduled for September 14."

Of 2014 I assume.

What? They're doing a reprint?

1 printing in 2 batches? I assume Steidl knew they were going to do 2500 copies and just spaced the printing out for whatever reason.

Received a copy today, have yet to open it. My Russell order doesn't look promising, an email today stated out of stock, at least 2 week wait--which could mean till Sept. 14.
