Hi Jean,

Congratulations on receiving your book. I wish that I could say the same, but the saga goes on. The e-mail that I received from Amazon informing me that the book would be shipped earlier than expected, was followed the next day by another e-mail informing me that the book would be delayed again. I cancelled the order and reordered from another bookstore, this time Alibris. I have been informed that the book was shipped to me on May 23.

However, I will not believe anything until I have this elusive book in my hand. I have been waiting for it since January.

Regards
Sheila

Sheila, I am still in the same boat. I cancelled Amazon in the end and have problem purchasing with AmazonUK who does not recognize my Mastercard? So I am still searching for one and maybe one day I will get lucky. Chapters have it in their Computer but no delivery date. If ever I see it I will check with you first and if you are still looking I will purchase one for you also.

Best wishes

Lizzie

Hi Lizzie
We have a signed copy of the book given to us by Rosemary Bigwood for our Tombola! See:

Might be worth buying a ticket - you may be lucky and win! :D

Best wishes

Hopefully everyone has received their book by now. :shock:

After a few more emails going back and forth between Walmart and myself, they finally called me to apologize and to assure me my order was now cancelled...I then proceeded to order from Amazon. UK (I got it on sale for GBP 7.63) and received an email the other day letting me know my books have now been shipped and to expect delivery by 19th June...can't wait :D

Regards,
Anne H

Hi Anne

I received an e-mail on May 23 from Alibris telling me that my book was shipped on May 22. Today is June 10th and I still haven't received it. :roll: Hopefully one day I will get it. I am almost giving up on the whole thing.

Hi Shiela,

So frustrating, isn't it :?: Is it being sent by a row boat :?: :?

Don't give up :!: Here's hoping your book will be delivered to you sometime this week :!: but with that news, I'd better keep my fingers crossed that my books arrive...I have a feeling they will though, since Amazon UK is usually good and I don't know why I didn't just go with them in the beginning.

Regards,
Anne H

Sheila:

The way things are going, maybe you'll be able to pick up a copy while you're over for the annual beach party :lol:

Hmmm, now I have a dilemma. :wink:

Chapters.ca claims they finally have the book in stock, which means I could get it in just a few days. So do I buy it, or do I wait to see whether I win a _signed_ copy at the end of the month? :D
