I have a couple responses: 1) If the book is taking too long to get to you, or you are being told some ridiculous ship date, please contact me off list and I will do what I can to kick this down the road. Hi Spencer, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pro-Puppet-Edition-Professional-Apress/dp/1430260408/ still shows a ship date of 31st March 2014. Is this just a mistake on their part? (I'm in the UK, hence looking at their UK site). If the shipping date is accurate, I'd settle for a non-kindle electronic format, but Amazon obviously don't do such a thing. Apress offer a PDF, which I could get for $41.99, or if I buy the dead-tree copy for $59.99 I could get the PDF for an additional $10. So, what I thought of doing was to order the dead-tree copy then order the 'companion' PDF for $10 so that I could start reading while I wait for delivery. However, the companion order process appears to want me to have the dead-tree version in front of me to ensure I have actually bought it :-( So, in short, I'm after the quickest way of getting my hands on the book but also trying to maximise value for money. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Matt. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
