yo simon,
I'm afraid I don't have any information on amazon's stock or shipping times, but I know that O'Reilly is printing books steadily now to keep up with demand.

Thanks, I didn't know I was able to order from Amazon.com from Canada. I just went to the site and it says ship in 1 to 3 weeks. Is that right or is it an error?

Can't wait to get this book and start to do a bit of AS3 :-)

hi simon,
i don't think 6 copies is considered a volume order, so i doubt you'll find a discount source. but amazon.com lists the book at US$34.64. with the canadian dollar exchange rate right now, amazon.com might be your best bet.

Great news, I will order some for sure.
Amazon.ca didn't get the books yet, but Chapters.ca have them since a couple of days. Someone know when Amazon.ca should get them?

Also, where I am working, they want to order several books, is there somewhere I can order 5-6 books (or maybe more) and get a discount?

Thanks!

hey kevin,
no, i never intend to post useful information here. sorry.

Does this mean you'll start posting useful information on your blog now?

Same problem w/ my Amazon pre-order - and after talking to two different customer service reps and a manager, they still couldn't promise me a shipping time any earlier than the end of August. So I promptly canceled the order, walked a few blocks over to the local B+N and picked up a fresh new copy there. Sure, it ended up costing me about $20 more, but instant gratification is a beautiful thing. I'm only a couple chapters in, but it seems like a great update to an already great reference. Thanks, Colin!

Yeah!! Finally!!

Thank you, Collin, you rock! I pre-ordered my copy ages ago ;).

Congratulations Colin!! I'm looking forward to the new Unity stuff as well, keep up the good work :)

My order was showing the same thing on Amazon, so I just canceled it and reordered it. Now shows it'll arrive in a week.

amazing - I also got pissed at Amazon for delaying to August and cancelled the order...

I'm definitely buying it!

Ps: Maybe you should change the link to the O'REILLY page in your 'order now' page, it still refers to the uncut version.

YES!!!!!!
I can't wait to see it.

Congratulations, Colin! Thank you for pouring so much hard work into this book. I can't wait to get a copy.

I also had the same problem with Amazon telling me that the expected date was going to be Augest 20th. I was steamed and canceled my order. I just went to the oreilly.com site and ordered it and had it with in 3 days of ordering it.

Can't wait to dig in.

When I spoke with amazon about my expected delivery date (August 20th), they informed me there was a glitch in the system which would need to be corrected on the warehouse side. They then assured me my shipping information would be corrected on Monday.

Congrats Colin! Gotta go check my amazon status. Looking forward to reading it and will definitely toss up a review.

All the best!

yeehaaw. i preordered it too, and amazon germany appologized for delaying the order. But hence they got in store and hopefully i will receive my copy in the next few days! Amazing!!

Congratulations Colin.
It looks much bigger than EA2, this is good!
Thank you.

I have been waiting for this ever since AS3 was announced. I'm going to order it tomorrow. Thank you Colin.

I preordered from Amazon USA and they said I would finally have it around middle September... I live in Greece - I was frustrated and cancelled order. Can I order straight from you? Or should I try again From Amazon?
Thanks
Dimitris

steve: no idea, but if you ordered from amazon.com, you should talk to them directly. all i know is that the book has been shipped to retailers, and that amazon.com now shows it in stock.

now i get to work on unity again :) and i'll probably do some ActionScript 3.0 lectures...stay tuned...

Why does Amazon say I won't receive it until August? I pre-ordered in April.

I can't wait to dive in. I'm sure it'll be another masterpiece. Colin, maybe you can have a life now! ;-) Thanks for all of you hard work and dedication. A Jedi Master you are.

ya...canada looks like its lagging behind a bit, but amazon.com has it available right now...

Chapters.ca has a release date of the 30th and Amazon still has it as pre-order.

Cool, I'll buy it.

Alright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done Colin!!!!
