[meteorite-list] "Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites" now Available

Hi all,

I ordered mine on Amazon.com when Mike first alerted the list (April 15) 
that the book was soon to be available.  The cost was to be $25.05
(including free shipping and the pre-order discount) . About a week and a 
half ago I received an email from Amazon telling me that there was a
delay and asking me to respond if I was still interested. I responded in the 
affirmative and later received an email from Amazon that the new expected
date was in late July. I just visited my Amazon order page and it shows that 
the anticipated shipping date is July 21 (and my pre-order discount has
disappeared). Clicking on the book title takes me to the book description 
page where it is noted that the book is temporarily out of stock.

Apparently Amazon is confused. Anyway, I've waited 2 months already so what 
is another month?

It would be interesting to know if anyone actually receives the book before 
July 21.

Best regards,

Charley
