So I pre-ordered Revelation on amazon about a week ago. I figured since my wife and I pay for amazon prime I should make use of the shipping deal. On Thursday of last week I was wrapping up another book in the X-Wing series and I realized I would be without a book to read while I waited for Revelation to arrive. This is a big deal since I commute by metro to work and reading is the only thing that keeps me sane on the crowded trains.

So on friday we headed over to the book store by our offices. I was hoping to pick up a copy of I Jedi, since its a stand alone novel about Corran Horn, and he is quickly becoming a favorite character of mine. When I looked on the shelves of Star Wars novels I saw it, sitting there in broad daylight, Revelation. My first thought was, is there another Star Wars novel called Revelation?! I picked up the book and showed it to my wife. She was pretty excited for me, while I was confused. Doesn't the book come out on the 26th?!

I knew I was not going to run home and scan in it in my computer so people could read it early. I knew I was not going to read the ending and post a bunch of spoilers. I knew I was just going to read it, a few days earlier than I expected.

Still I felt guilty, like taking dad's car out with some friends when I said I was just going to head over to the comic book store to see if there was anything new. I did some searches to see if the release date simply changed - but found nothing other than the expected 2/26 release date.

I feel a little guilty about it, and a little lucky at the same time. Has anyone run into this before?
