Amazon.ca Offers Customers Release-Date Delivery for 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard'

Just as it has done for the “Harry Potter” books series, Amazon has announced that it will deliver both the Standard and Collector’s Editions of “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” on the very first day they are available to the public. For customers who select express shipping, Amazon will deliver the book of five wizarding fairy tales to excited Harry Potter fans on Thursday, Dec. 4.

“We are excited to once again delight Amazon customers by offering guaranteed release-date delivery for ‘The Tales of Beedle the Bard’ so the book can arrive at their doors the first day it’s available,” said Julie Todaro, director of Amazon.ca. “This means that hundreds of thousands of Harry Potter fans across the country can start reading this book the day it’s released without having to wait.”

In August 2008, the Children’s High Level Group, the charity co-founded by J.K. Rowling to make life better for vulnerable children, announced that it would publish “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” with net proceeds from the sale of the book to benefit the charity. In addition to the Standard Edition, Amazon is exclusively offering a luxuriously packaged Collector’s Edition inspired by Rowling’s handwritten, illustrated book originally purchased at auction. The Standard Edition is available on Amazon.ca for $7.25. The exclusive Collector’s Edition is available on Amazon.ca for $100.

The “Tales of Beedle the Bard” will be released on Dec. 4, 2008. To pre-order a copy of the Standard or Amazon Exclusive Collector’s Edition of “Tales of Beedle the Bard,” visit Amazon.ca at www.amazon.ca/beedlebard.
