I’m sorry for the inconvenience. I’d asked Information Today to let Amazon know about the delay, but they assured me that it wasn’t necessary and wouldn’t be a problem. Please be assured that it WILL be available through Amazon.com in the very near future (probably a week or two) though you will be able to get it more quickly through Information Today as they will be receiving the book from the printers directly. Again, I’m sorry for any inconvenience this caused you all.

Message from a European lurker. I received the same order for the Rijksmuseum Research Library for which I ordered the book a while ago. Will order it, as you suggested, via Information Today.

Meredith, I got the same message from Amazon that Michele did. It’s unusual for Amazon to cancel an order — that usually indicates that the publisher has been unable to confirm a pub date. Good luck — I’ll order it when it becomes available. I hate to see you lose sales through Amazon cancellations, though.

I ordered the book a while ago from Amazon and just got this email today:
“Though we had expected to be able to send this item to you, we’ve
since found that it is not available from any of our sources at this
time. We realize this is disappointing news to hear, and we apologize
for the inconvenience we have caused you. We have cancelled this item from your order.” Does this mean they won’t be carrying it at all?

I am thinking that this one falls into the “Professional collection” category at work. Looks like a good book. I can wait.
