Just got my lovely hardcopy here in the Netherlands from Matrix.
It only took 5 days.

Amazon appears to have sold its stock already as the copies are being shown as reserved in the backend. The issue was the stock was on route to them so left our warehouse so we ran out of stock while on route and then they ran out of stock almost immediately. I can see how it is annoying but there sin't really anything we could do. We shipped to Amazon before we knew stock was running dangerously low. We didn't expect to sell as many as we did. Its very hard to get it right because they cost a lot to manufacture and if we overprint we get left with a lot of stock. We currently have close to 100k manuals in the warehouse from games where we got the estimates wrong the other way...

How many copies of World in Flames?

So, no response about the media mail option? Oh well, no way I'm paying $20 to have a book shipped to me.

Too bad. I'll just continue printing and binding my own copies of these manuals.

We're exploring options but it takes months to do the research, make the contacts, get contracts in place and do the logistics to support any change at the warehouse and coding to tie in to the web site, and then testing it all works. It's not like an individual just deciding to buy from a different shop! :)

I'm not sure, but I think if the game is included in the manual, then it would not qualify as Media Mail. Also if the manual had any advertisements, then it wouldn't be eligible.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out.

Thanks
Rick
