Lucky you, Amazon is claiming mine will arrive on the 13th of November! One might almost think they're shipping to Norway with sail powered ships...

It's the blasted international shipping. No drones are involved yet, but I have high hopes for prompt shipping once sub-orbital shipping is a thing...

It's almost bad enough for me to buy the e-book instead, leave the hardcover book in mint condition in my bookshelf :)

i've pretty much gone E-book for all new Webers for the last 5/6 years. i tend to get the paperbacks still for those time when i am going somewhere and i don't want to lug the ipad/have something that doesn't rely on batteries.

Only if I could use the Rakurai to entice whoever is handling the shipping to please move the package a bit faster, or else.... :)

Mine was delayed by Amazon.uk, but has been delivered earlier than "threatened".
Unfortunately it arrived AFTER we had left for our "Late Autumn" holiday so I will not now get my hands on the book until December 5th, not that I will have any time to read it in full then.

E-book, you say.
Amazon.uk are not offering any discount to Hardback purchasers unlike USA
So that would be another £12.95

Amazon doesn't sound toogood anywhere!

I live in So-Cal and the Amazon shipment center is in the next county to mine and it took them a week to get it to me!

Bear in mind that they use the USPS for delivery, which is usually next day delivery for me.

It took them a WEEK to "prepare my order for shipment?!?!?!?". DUH!
