Amazon just update the delivery to December 2012 while Barnes and Noble shows it in March. Based on your date and the date Amazon gave, I think we are looking at the end of the year vice this Spring. In any case, I am sure it will be well worth the wait.

Good things come to those who wait - although I must admit I can't wait to get a copy of this book! :D :lol:

December 2012 - that's another year! :shock:

Let's hope Noble are closer to the mark. (Pre-ordered mine a year or more ago already)!

Hopefully Mike will pick this one up next time he logs in and can give us a better idea.

WHS state 5-7 days, which would be the first week in March. Been a long wait since I ordered, so I hope this is the case.

Excellent news if they are correct!

hmm, don't know who to believe.. the dates given on some online sites are all over the place
Amazon.co.uk still has 2011 Sept
Amazon.com has 2012 Nov

also strange is that the book is nowhere to be seen on ''Frontline Books''(publisher), not even in the ''coming soon'' section.
One would think it'd be there if it was out in a week or two..

I have arranged with Amazon for them to notify me when it's available.

This was requested a few weeks ago, but I've heard nothing yet.

I somehow suspect it is a little way off yet whith WH Smith being a little optimistic?!

Yes, so it would. I phoned WHS Wednesday, and they have only just got back to me (Fri) after they chased the publisher. October this year it would seem.

Well, I don't mind if its due to the book getting bigger and beefier, it'll be worth the wait.

I suspect there is still a lot of work to be done on the book although I believe Mike had finished the manuscript itself. Perhaps they are working on the artwork and illustrations etc. Mike hasn't be online for a few weeks but when he returns I am sure he will let us know the score.

Agreed.
Not a problem to wait, I just really want to read it!
One thing I am sure of. It'll be Mike's best work yet!

Amazon are still saying September so I think you might be right. I have signed up to Amazon's altert facility for this book so I will at least know as soon as it goes to pre-order.
