Did they forget to use glue on the bindings again?

Not sure what's going on but has anyone in the UK actually managed to obtain a copy? I placed an order with WH Smith on January 4th and still they have no idea what's happening.

I think if this is a reflection on the publishing industry in general then it is a crying shame for us all. Kindle is certainly a very valid medium but when I sit down, wait, or even use a book it is better on actual paper

Cheers Matt.

They probably print the books in China or India now. I ordered a book from an Indian publisher once and it looked like it was printed on old newspaper.

LOL.....and the saga continues.

Hmm, I got mine just after Christmas from a UK distributor on eBay. Does not have any more listed. Am I going to have a rare 1st-4th edition?

Too bad we can't buy the ones that were recalled as a teaser edition. Sell them at a reduced price with credit towards the ready-for-prime-time release. I wonder how long modern paper will last? Maybe we should create a sort of time capsule / Noahs Arc with a tube-reference library and packs of NOS tubes. Might have to hide it on the moon to be safe though? Air might leak OUT of the tubes with age. I picked up a G.E. tube manual that looked great until I started turning the pages, then the paper was cracking. Makes me wonder what will be around in hundreds of years.

Do the kindle / Apple versions support search well? That's one thing I'd really want an electronic edition for. (a real one, not a scan) It's great to find those really old texts that have been scanned, but pictures are severely limiting. An example was finding a very rigorous German text on audio transformer design, but being unable to run it through a translator because its really all pictures.

That will indeed be a collectors' item! Mine is autographed, which should get me even a bit more on EBay. Last word from Newnes is "end of March" for the reprinted version.
