Erlang and OTP in Action - Delayed Again...

Erlang and OTP in Action
Erlang and OTP in Action
In August, I was feeling spontaneous due to my new found love of purchasing stuff from Amazon and pre-ordered "[Erlang and OTP in Action](http://www.amazon.com/Erlang-OTP-Action-Martin-Logan/dp/1933988789)" with an eagerly awaited the September 1, 2010 shipping date. I was even hoping it might arrive before my trip to New Zealand, thus I could read this book in my spare time. Oh happy times.

Then a blow to my excitement, the release date slipped, now I was expecting a October 12 - October 18 delivery time. Ok, that’s fine, I’m still excited…

Today another blow, release date slipped again, now I get to wait till November 08 - November 15 for delivery, really not sure I care any more.

The value of spontaneous purchases should be realised before the guilt’s kick in. Evil pre-orders.

And the problem plaguing my mind is, most of the purchase was done with a voucher, that I’m not sure I have any more because I brought something…, so if I cancel my order do I lose my voucher money? How does that get refunded?

p.s. Wow, this book seems to be all over the file sharing networks.

updated 1 Nov: Delayed again, Estimated arrival date: December 09 2010 - December 15 2010, sigh!

update 22 Nov: It has been shipped, should get by 30th November!

update 30 Nov: It arrived today! Front cover is bent :( but the book has been an enjoyable read so far :)

I’m sorry for the slippage, but there is good news: the book is going to press next week! Quality control takes a lot of time. I hope you’ll enjoy the result.

I had assumed it was for quality reasons, and I’ll be honest I’d prefer a better edited book, over a rushed one. I’m still very keen for the book, that’s why I was disappoint to have to wait longer. I appreciate your taking the time to comment.

It’s been delayed again by another month, but you probably already knew that.

It’s being printed, and should be ready from the bindery by November 10th. Manning are working on getting the ebook version out this week.
