\"\"See collectors’ own photos of Smaug the Golden<\/strong>: Smaug the Golden is now shipping in the US (and will be shortly in the rest of the world – see bottom of this email).

Start reading at about page 25 (23 July) when the first few were opened by expectant fans. Like the one on the right, by N2Darkness on the forum. <\/p>\n
