Now, what store do you suggest I find one of those at?  I'll be lucky if I can find any of her CDs at a store, now that Borders' is closing. I knew that would happen, just in time for a Hayley album to come out!  |

I got it off eBay. The seller has a 100% positive feedback and said he/she got it back in 2008 in a NZ retail store called Real Groovy Wellington for $650. Real Groovy Wellington is an actual store (I Googled it!) Judging by the price the seller bought it in NZ, I'd say it's genuine, but I could very well be wrong. Hopefully I'm not. I've a feeling I bought during an eBay "down time" or lull in sales coz I won the bid and paid $112.50 and ususally when I bid on WITA I give up once it reaches between 115-125 US dollars. I'm pretty sure, if my memory serves me right, I've bought from this seller before and had no problems whatsoever |

I knew that would happen, just in time for a Hayley album to come out! My sentiments exactly, Libby!! In the Spring, the Borders 15 minutes from my house closed. Now the closest Borders is about 45 minutes away! What's worse is that I just got Border's Rewards PLUS this past Christmas as a gift (coz I practically live in bookstores-esp. Border's). Thankfully there's a Barnes and Noble 15 minutes away. Unfortunately you have to pay for a membership (yearly I think) and I typically read 4-5 books a week at best so the discounts/coupons from Border's were a Godsend! ~Paige |

How could there be a Paradiso poster from 2008? If all else fails, I could try to special order Hayley's album to the closer B&N store, like I did with WM. It would be more fun to go find it, with a whole bunch of (or at least a few!) copies, and select it by myself, rather than a worker picking one out for me and shipping it to me. At least if I do have to order it, the clerks might wonder what's so special about it. I guess I will do it this way if I have to, because I receive enough packages/boxes as it is, and I run my credit card too much these days. I need to give it a rest once in a while!  Plus, it's too much trouble to go downtown! I would be interested to know if they carry it in the store or not. If so, maybe I should venture downtown, just to be able to shop for it myself! |

My Japanese Paradiso signed at Venue Cymru. The speakers in the background, to my knowledge, Hayley sang Santa Lucia live through them when promoting Treasure  That was not the reason I bought them, just coincidental.  And for those of you collecting versions of Paradiso
I would highly recommend the Taiwan edition in the wide case.
Most unusual case, first time I ever saw one of it's type.
Like a large version of the case Treasure was in, in Europe and the UK edition.
Don't expect it to fit in your CD rack.
It is the same size as the Live in New Zealand DVD case |

This was out of extreme impatience, mind you. I couldn't even wait till June for the Japanese release! It was just too long to wait! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Otherwise, I would only have bought the US and Japanese version. |
