I also ordered it from Amazon UK, and got the same message. But the book is, as far as I know, finished and printed. So I suppose it's mostly a matter of transportation time. :) -Lars

I ordered it from amazon.com, it was half the priceof the UK version ;) I've had no delay message about it for a while now, the last one I got said "June 25 2010 - August 04 2010" though... Guess we'll see though! Given that it's already been dispatched from the printers, I'm quietly optimistic it'll arrive before then. Robert

I don't know when you ordered it, but that has changed now, at least. At amazon.co.uk it costs £18.50, while at amazon.com it sells for $42.70 -- roughly £29. Also, for Europeans, the delivery cost is lower if you order from UK. -Lars

I ordered it a few weeks after it was up on Amazon, at the time it was about £30 in the UK and $42.70 in the US (I know they're roughly the same now, it worked out about £10 cheaper at the time though). As for delivery cost, I always wait until there's a selection of things I want to buy to get free delivery ;)
