You're at the mercy of whoever is actually selling the books - some good, some bad. I've just got "Regression Modeling Strategies" from them in about five days at half price and in mint condition. I'd put it below www.abebooks.com, though, because you get less information on the book and the seller. When I've had long delays with UK amazon it has turned out that the seller was in France or the US and didn't make this clear on Amazon. At work somebody bought a computer book through Amazon and returned it because it was a proof copy of a very out of date version and this hadn't been made clear. -- A. G.
