        I just found it while searching for books. It said something like 'this book is eligible for the 4 for 3 sale' and I clicked on the link. Here is a direct link and just do a search for what you want. It's only books under $10 though.

                  The prologue, you mean? I was under the impression that only Jordan's notes had been released (at one of the conventions), not the actual chapter itself. Either way, it's supposed to be epic, and from the descriptions of those that were in attendance, it is.

                      Nope, the prologue will be released sept. 17. I posted the link for the first chapter in the WoT thread.

                          I see. I also see that it wasn't properly named.

                          I do not plan to read out of order, so I suppose I'll be waiting for the prologue, though I'm not sure I'll even read that in advance. The description itself gave me goosebumps; after reading it, in all its glory, I'm not sure I'd sleep until the novel was released.

                              WOT is an unbelievably addicting series to read. I remember staying home from school for almost two weeks in middle school so I could read books 1-6 (all there was at the time). I have read each book within two days of release since. It is such a tragedy we'll never see the series as Jordan intended, but Sanderson will do well.
                              Dimmed light illuminates wearily a thousand skyscrapers of concrete, glass, shattered imaginations and severed dreams. Urban structures of brick and steel extend tendrils of decay and neglect into an aging embrace of irreverence, moving forward into synthetic joy.

                                I'm still dying for GRRM to finish A Dance with Dragons. But in the meantime, 'And Another Thing' is coming out in less than a month, so I have to read all of the hitchhiker's trilogy before that.
