Hmmm....just received confirmation that my order from Amazon has shipped. However, Mladen's situation has given me cause to pause. While I have not had a problem with Amazon in the past, I will look at alternatives...just in case.

You got it from the Amazon??? Below is what they replied
to me, and I pre-ordered the book on July 13th. I solemnly
swear not to order anything from Amazon again, so help me Codd.
Of course, the book is available from B&N. What is more, Amazon
has removed all references to their phone number from their web site,
so in case of a problem, you cannot call them. Amazon really sucks!
I liked them before because of quick and efficient one click ordering
but this is too much. I didn't preorder the book in July to be
put on hold by those lying ba***rds. Never again!
