I pre-ordered mine months ago with the delivery address set to the office - but now I donāt know when weāll be back in the office! Iāll be able to arrange to collect it Iām sure.

Oddly enough, just this morning I received a notice from Amazon that delivery is delayed (from I canāt remember which date in July to August 4th)! 
P s. Getting in straight from the publisher would have been too expensive with shipping

That could be Amazon just covering itself - certainly Amazon UK is still saying June, and the publishers told me in an email today that it would indeed be out this month.

Iāve not had anything to say that it will be delayed and tomorrow (Friday) was the date given by Amazon for publication, for the UK, at least.
I pre-ordered it months ago and Iām now looking forward to it finally dropping through my letterbox soon.

Unfortunately I have noticed when looking at My Orders on Amazon that the date disappeared 2-3 weeks agoā¦
ā¦it changed to āDelivery Date Pendingā āWeāll email you when we have a delivery dateā.
Ah wellā¦
Good things come to those whoā¦

I have just checked again and it still says tomorrow.
Hi Gareth,
Do you have an inside track on whether the shedule has changed (or not)?
Rich
No Rich, they never tell me anything, and like you I am expecting it to be out tomorrow. There have been no hitches in production as far as I know.

I seeā¦the delivery date has gone on my order - as per above - which I took as being significant - but maybe it isnāt then.
Rich
And today itās status has changed to āTemporarily out of stockāā¦
Yes - I suppose ātemporarily out of stockā could mean that a lot of people have āpre-orderedā (or āorderedā, as we used to say!) and that the initial stock has therefore all been despatched.
Perhaps when one arrives, the happy recipient can announce that.
Regretfully @garethrking, I donāt think that that is the case. My order, placed at the beginning of February, is shown as āNot yet dispatched. Weāll email you when availableā.
Iāll have to find something else to do this weekend. Bournemouth beach? 
How annoying.
I have been trying to ask the publishers for info, but they too appear to have headed for Bournemouth beach. 
Iāve had an email from Amazon this afternoon saying they are trying to obtain a copy - almost certainly an automated email for pre-ordered products, sent on their release date.
It might be better not to watch the pot on this one! 
Rich
Youāre right of course - but itās frustrating, isnāt it?
Iāve just got through to my publisher, and she tells me the warehouses have only just opened - implying I think that it wonāt be too long. Sounds like this is a Covid effect, and all these warehouses have been closed until now. Probably optimistic news, then.
