We’ve been getting hit with lots of emails of people asking two things:

1. When is the Official Illustrated Guide coming out in my country?

2. When is the Twilight Graphic Novel part 2 coming out?

Here’s what we found out via Little Brown:

They don’t currently have a release date for the Graphic Novel part 2. We are guessing that the reason the image for the graphic novel 2 appears on the inside back flap of the book jacket of the Official Illustrated Guide is that publishers tend not to change up what is on book jackets to save printing costs. Though the part 2 isn’t currently out, one day it will be, and fans will be reminded of these items.

Here is what they told us about dates for editions outside the USA.

April 12
UK (note the UK has Australia, New Zealand, India, Ireland, and South Africa in its distribution)
France
Italy
Netherlands

April 13
Germany

April 18
Brazil

April 26
Denmark

May 15
Mainland China
Fall 2011
Spain

That’s all they had for now and they said they’d give us other dates when they have them. If you don’t mind an edition written in the English language, both Amazon.com and Amazon.UK do ship to other countries depending where you live.

We’ve been getting a lot of tweets and emails from people who have to wait days, weeks, or moths for the guide to come out in their countries.  Usually the email have been coming in with multiple : ( after their sentences. We always feel bad when we have contests that are USA only (never our choice the supplier’s choice). Last week, we promised that we would do a giveaway for the people who live outside the USA and here it is.

If you live outside of the territories and states of the United States of America, we are going to pick a random two people from the comments, and we will send the guide to you. The version we have at our disposal is the American version, which we will ship to the winners. We don’t have any foreign language versions.

So, in the comments, just tell us what you are looking forward to in the guide and in what country you reside. We’ll pick a random two winners on Friday, April 15th at 11:59 pm eastern.

We don’t care if you are on the science station in Antarctica, Northern Siberia or points in between we will ship it to you!

While we wait for the Breaking Dawn movie in November, fans can sink their teeth into the anticipated The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide which comes out  TOMORROW April 12th.

Given the wealth of Twilight information the Lexicon has cultivated over the years, Lori and Laura were pleased to work with Little, Brown in providing research and data for the initial draft of the Guide.

We’ve really been looking forward to the Guide, and were even more excited when it was announced by Little Brown that there were extensive illustrations, and the title was revised from the “Official Guide” to the “Official Illustrated Guide”. We’re sure you’re all going to adore the Guide as much as we will.  Once it releases tomorrow, please stop by our forums the discuss all the details.
