The book was delayed due to a problem with the > covers, but is now being shipped to our distributors. I have checked again with A-W and they say that this is *not* the case (at least in the UK). They say that OR&A are not shipping them copies of the book until May and went on about OR&A being very slow with these things. Many appologies to those that this subject doesn't interest for slogging this out here---I guess it goes to show how popular the Camel Book is (will be 8*). Since A-W are so adamant that May is when OR&A will supply the book, I guess I am now resigned to waiting. 8*( The problem, of course, is that it seems unlikely that we non-US folks will be able to get our hands on autographed copies without incurring vast shipping fees from the US - sigh.
