    Thanks Lou and thanks Joël!
    I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and can't wait to receive it.
    However, this might turn up to be a very expensive book as this probably will result in me having to buy myself a zenith, ...

    just as it happened with the MWO book. :)

    Because of the continued interest in this offer - and we know lots of you silent lurkers have taken advantage of it too - the publisher has agreed to extent the offer for an additional 5 days, until April 20th. Order early and often!:thumbsup:

    They also have the offer on that other forum so interest must be pretty high for a niche book.

    Just bought one of threse, and literally 15 seconds later got a call from fraud prevention at my broker/bank.

    The algorithms are getting more sophisticated all the time. And I can live with a false positive now ans then as a small price to pay for the additional security.

    Tell you something funny, my CC company always locks the wrong thing as fraud. I spent $4500 on my Nikon D600, 105VR lens and accessories, then walked down three shops down the same street with @Trev on the Gold Coast to have some fish and chips, and they accepted the $4500 charge but locked by account such that I couldn't pay for my $4.50 of chips and gravy so Trev had to spot me, got a phone call from the bank saying someone's just taken me for $4500 and now they're continuing their "spending spree".

    Same thing happened buying my Retina Macbook Pro, spend $3500 on the laptop then had the card frozen and a call after trying to buy a $19 neoprene laptop sleeve from the adjacent department store.

    Too bad @Trev wasn't with you to spring for the laptop sleeve as well. :p

    Visa locked me down too. Claimed that I never bought from that merchant before. Right, I buy all over the world and no problem. We know the real reason, they don't trust the French. :mad:
    Anyway sorted. Glad it was extended, I had forgotten about this.

    I've done the same, bought thousands in computer equip for the folks in Orlando, and then had them lock it down after stopping for a few groceries . ::facepalm2::

    Ordered mine March 31st. Haven't received any tracking info (didn't expect to anyway), but did anyone else receive such info? Hoping it gets here soon, working off faith that it was actually shipped! Ha. And I'm antsy to get it. :whistling::)

    This was a pre-order for the English version that is not due to be ready until the end of the month.

    Ohhhhhhh, well that makes sense then. I must have missed that fine print somewhere. I saw others had said they received their copy, so I just figured it was all the same.. But maybe they were referring to a different language version?

    Received mine this morning and have just spent the last half hour flicking through it, just to make sure the pages were all there :whistling:

    It looks really good but I'd better get on with my work now.

    Mine just arrived as well, I live on the east coast in Maryland. I'm about as giddy as a schoolgirl and excited to dive into it! Thanks again Joél!

    (posted in other forum as well, incase anyone is tracking or waiting for their copy)
