Actually, AFAIK, YotC isn't available in the German language (yet). Yes, I have a copy
sitting happily at home that's in English, FanPro sold somewhere bewteen 160-200 copies of
it at Gen Con, as well as giving a handful of them away as prizes for the tourney and
stuff we ran.

If you can buy things online, hit the official Shadowrun web page,
http://www.shadowrunrpg.com and find the info on Cafe Game Unlimited. You can mail order
it from them. Otherwise, contact Adam and send him the information of the Book/Game
stores you are dealing with. He may be able to do something in an official capacity and
give them at least a heads up or something.

Mainstream bookstores may have problems ordering it because they may still
have information from when FASA announced the book, and do not have updated
information from FanPro LLC. The ISBN number for the book is 3-89064-650-6

Your friends are wrong. Up to date information for publication of
english-language Shadowrun products is at http://www.shadowrunrpg.com -
please pass this information to your friends and any gaming stores you may
shop at.

You should be able to get the book at any game retailer now, and as
mentioned before you can mail order from Cafe Games Limited.

Hey Bull & Adam,

If people say that their local retailer is saying it isn't available, tell
them to send the contact information for their retailer to Cafe Games. Ron
will check into it and let the retailer know how to get the books.
