Claudia (claudiavstoomanybooks) | 1779 comments I wanted to get The Mall with that 12 days of Christmas sale at Amazon, but they never opened the sale to South Africans (guess it was only a rumor that they would?).
Looks like I'd have to wait 'till June.

Lauren Smith Apparently they did, but not at the promo price - it was $12. I couldn't access it either, but I think my region might have been set to US. Perhaps you had the same problem?
At that price though I'd rather just get the hardcopy.
