Same as me.Still waiting for my delivery date on Amazon. Been on order since November, can't wait.
Ok, I'm guessing that means the retailer has had them delivered from the publisher. Good news!My preorder has gone from 'Awaiting Fulfilment' to ''Awaiting Shipping' (A Great Read)...
When did you buy it Mark?Notification from a Amazon that mine is being delivered on the 24th
Sorry it's not out yet, I was originally told it would be ready Monday, but I only got the files to review myself then (a separate company converts the manuscript to an e-book and it requires a proof). I sent that back yesterday and was told it can take a few days to go up on Amazon. So, like with the physical copies I really don't know when it is available unfortunately. Only that it is a matter of days.Any news on kindle edition?

Thanks - I guess that means paper is better than Kindle...
Oh cool, have you been to pick it up? You may be the first person to have a physical copy!My batch turned up at WHSmiths today
What the hell, where do you live??Amazon has mailed me an update today for April 2nd.
Great stuff, did they give an estimated delivery date?Waterstone's have shipped!!!!
Get in
St HelensWhat the hell, where do you live??
Very bizarre, I really don't understand why it would take that long, hopefully it's an error. I think the amazon system is playing up a bit.St Helens
When did you place your order? Was it a while back or recently?
Early this month and although I am really looking forward to it I am fine waiting.When did you place your order? Was it a while back or recently?
The Royal Mail tracking website is down!Great stuff, did they give an estimated delivery date?
Yeah, I was gonna say if it was very recent it's possible they have sold out their stock and are buying more from the publisher (which would add some time on to the delivery date), but last update I had was they were only halfway through stock, so it's not that. If other retailers are receiving their copies (WH Smith/Waterstones) then Amazon will be too, so I cant see why it would take any longer. Fingers crossed!Early this month and although I am really looking forward to it I am fine waiting.
Hopefully, they have done a worst-case scenario.
Just been on Waterstones - they are saying out of stock and next stock should be within 10 working days, I'll stick with Amazon and hope the lead time reducesYeah, I was gonna say if it was very recent it's possible they have sold out their stock and are buying more from the publisher (which would add some time on to the delivery date), but last update I had was they were only halfway through stock, so it's not that.

I saw that. Waterstones in store will have some very soon in Blackpool though so keep an eye on their twitter account as they will be announcing when they get them I think.Just been on Waterstones - they are saying out of stock and next stock should be within 10 working days, I'll stick with Amazon and hope the lead time reduces
How is the Sunday Times list calculated ? do we know over what period ?I saw that. Waterstones in store will have some very soon in Blackpool though so keep an eye on their twitter account as they will be announcing when they get them I think.
Online could be sold out on Waterstones because they ordered way less copies than Amazon, so they will have to order more from the publisher which would explain the 10 day timeframe. I think it's also possible their system just *thinks* they are sold out, since their stock hasnt arrived yet. Although it sounds like it may have done today.
It's weekly, there's a company called Neilsen which logs everytime a book is soldHow is the Sunday Times list calculated ? do we know over what period ?
I'll add that if Waterstones has sold out of their initial batch order, we are probably pushing closeish to 1000 sales, which isn't a million miles away from top 10 apparentlyIt's weekly, there's a company called Neilsen which logs everytime a book is sold
Just received an email.Great stuff, did they give an estimated delivery date?
Amazon has mailed me an update today for April 2nd.
Ordered mine on Amazon on the 14th March (ordered it a bit late because I was going to download on Kindle but I changed my mind preferring the hardback). Received an email about 15 minutes ago saying estimated delivery date 2nd April. I live in Blackpool so location not the issue. Really looking forward to it.Very bizarre, I really don't understand why it would take that long, hopefully it's an error. I think the amazon system is playing up a bit.
