Dent, I ordered from Amazon in July and was informed that my order would be delayed until the first week of Nov. When I saw others who ordered from Amazon in Oct. and received their books, all around the same time I was told about the delay, I complained to Amazon. They "guaranteed" me it would ship the next business day......I got another "delay" email on that day. I cancelled the order. I then placed an order with B&N (at $48.99 non-member) and had the book 2 days later (no shipping charges). For < $5, screw Amazon and their customer service.
