Great minds, mr_mechanical.
EDIT: I meant they think alike, not the reason Kerry got so far. |

I got mine from Amazon yesterday (Friday 8/13). I used the free super saver shpping option and they estimated delivery August 25-28 but I got it already!!
I hope you all get yours soon.

Tell your son thank you for his service. You should be very proud of him.

| My Amazon order arrived on Saturday -- I placed my order the end of July. Spent the weekend reading --- amazing the damage to Kerry for those who want to remain intellectually honest. |

They're not shipping my copy, yet. But they give a late Aug delivery date. They already pushed it back five days, within the last five days.
I went to Costco, to see if I could just get a copy. And they don't expect but a few, sometime next week. As soon as they arrive, I'll get one, just to read it. I like Costco. I used to like amazon.
In fact, I'm thinking of cancelling the amazon order. I suspect if too many did that, it would knock the bestseller number down. But if you can't get the book. |

Sam's Club may have them, too. Our Sam's has a pretty decent selection of the latest books in fiction and non-fiction.

I ordered my copy on July 28, and got this reply when I asked for status

Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com with your concern.
I have checked your order, and I can confirm that we still expect to
ship it in time for delivery by the date listed in Your Account:
October 01, 2004.
Please be informed that we have many customer orders for this item,
and we've just begun receiving copies from our suppliers. We are
filling orders as quickly as we can on a first-come, first-served
basis.

.................. ?? First-come, First-served ?? ...................
I guess that means the sooner you pre-order the longer you have wait.
Orders must be completed on a reverse basis. The old computer priority.
......................... LIFO: Last in ... First out ..........................
I hate bureaucracies. I think I will just retire.
Oops ... I already did that ...

The book's Amazon's page says that it will take 1 to 4 weeks.
I ordered the book, and the order page said it will ship in 2-3 days.
I went BACK to the book's page, it still said 1 to 4 weeks.
I ordered the book with standard shipping and Amazon told me that I will receive the book Aug 25 to Aug 27.
I have been shopping at Amazon as my PRIMARY bookseller for at least seven years.
I have never seen it act like this. EVER. Inconsistent delays, reviews disappearing.
I have no idea what's up, but something strange is going on. B & N claims it was hacked into earlier in the week. Huh.
Earlier this week I was on the Apple iTunes website and they had Bill Clinton's book "My Life" listed prominently in the FICTION section. Several days later, it is still listed as such.
Am I to believe this is not someone editorializing?
very strange indeed.
