I bet I didn't get one! So the Hamilton Public Library in New Zealand misses out!
I hope I get the bookmark though.
My package arrived in Auckland less than two hours ago, complete with Prince of Wolves. Odds are that if I got one here in Auckland, so did you, at least so long as you haven't added other stuff to ship with your order.

How could I doubt the awesomeness that is Paizodom? All hail the Lisa! Three cheers for Vic! May rose petals sprinkle on the warehousing staff, and birds sing in their wake.
Yes, I got a book this afternoon. It must be that long 90 minute drive from Auckland to Hamilton that delayed its arrival after the weekend.
And to answer the question on the bookmark:
DEAL!

I had to email Customer Service first thinking this was a mistake in my monthly shipment, which took its time (thank you HM Revenue and Excise)... and ended up kindly directed to this thread. Next time I should read the back of the bleeding bookmark first! :)
I had already loaned my copy to a friend, I shall now strive to give it away for the cause then.
Laurent,

I gave away my copy to the city.
If the image has vanished you can check the status using a title search.

Nice! Thanks, Glen!
(Now we just need some NZ folks to check it out... :)

If you look at the current status, it is 'recently returned' and 'on the reserve shelf with 1 reserve' they have a waiting list on it!

at least your library accept book donations... I went to give a bunch of (brand new) books to my local library and they said "we don't take donations"
I don't get it...
Maybe they are only allowed to carry a certain number of copies, and if they accept donations they would be in violation of that allowance?
There are likely rules (or contractual agreements) regarding what a library is allowed to have.

After minor searching, I found that the library is mostly sponsored by tax-payers, so I stopped asking questions, as I'm sure 5 different politicians have hands deeply embedded in that pie and are on the board of directors deciding to which book companies (all owned by their buddies) the money goes to every quarter... sigh...

My library is supported by taxpayers, but I have found that though they do not accept donations, they ARE willing to purchase a book that I am looking for and add it to their inventory. I don't know where they purchase their books from, though...
