Book: Commodore The Amiga Years - Page 3

PulsatingQuasar · 16 December 2012, 10:22

I see that the book has now been pushed back to 31 july 2013. This must be about the tenth push back.

I think Amazon should remove the book because this obviously isn't ready. Anyone know where I can ask Amazon to make changes to the product catalog? I don't want to see the book back on the site untill it is actually released.

I got "a Commodore 64 walkabout" recently and it's pretty good, has lots of stuff to try.

A small bump for this thread.

Looks like the publisher still has a release date of July 1st. Amazon UK say July 31st. I really hope it doesn't get pushed back again.

Still waiting for AmigaKit to get it in stock.

Wish this was out too, I want to buy!

mikey2002kent · 31 July 2013, 07:56

Still says "This title has not yet been released."

Surprise Surprise.....

You'd wonder if one of the dudes who burned down Commodore is actually creating a stink about the book; it can't be saying nice things about the old management after all

Keir · 31 July 2013, 15:22

Just preordered this. I'll get a nice surprise when it does eventually arrive!

PulsatingQuasar · 02 August 2013, 13:38

And again the dead line has passed. A year has gone by without this book arriving.

Their website is online again but if you ask them a question you get no response what so ever. Pretty irritating.

I ordered it a few months ago from amazon at the prepaid price of
18 bucks so I guess for that price I can wait..

dJOS · 03 August 2013, 00:53

I guess that explains why Amazon shipped my company on the edge book by items when I'd asked for combined shipping.

barkingboy · 03 August 2013, 09:10

Amazon are still saying a 3rd to 6th delivery estimate for my order

Yeah mines pretty similar.

PulsatingQuasar · 04 August 2013, 18:21

The status on the book on amazon.co.uk website before august was available on 31 july. For Amazon.com it was 1 july. But also in America the book hasn't been released yet.

I don't mind delays but at least tell us why. They were eager to announce the book a couple of months ago as releasing soon but when there is a delay..... nothing.

UPDATE: Just got an email from Amazon that they are still trying to obtain the book. So no release yet.

stainy · 05 August 2013, 14:35

The publishers site has it released on July 1st !! 0_o

barkingboy · 06 August 2013, 07:44

So, I got the email from Amazon about "still trying to obtain" the book. It must be almost two years since the first release date.

Ir's a shame because the first book is very good.

Bugger, just got this email from amazon:
