     PS: if you're interested but deterred by the "book 13 in the Laundry Files" blurb, be advised that "A Conventional Boy" is (a) a stand-alone story, and (b) short: you don't need to have read other books in the series first.

     @marcusboden That is the publication date, yes. (Publishers Weekly is a trade mag, and its reviews are pitched for librarians and buyers at bookstores deciding what to stock in the next month or so.)

     Available Jan 07 in my local bookstore. Guess I have to wait a bit :/
     But it's not like I don't have enough to read at the moment ^^
