My copy turned up today in the post today, here in the UK.
Not signed as requested as it was despatched before Neal checked his PM. Arrived in perfect condition and has a sound professional finish to it. |

Surface mail to Europe can take between 3~6 weeks. Usually around 3~4 weeks, by my experience.

All I can say is, "Wow!" You really put together a great book Neal. I hadn't really paid much attention tot he details since I knew I wanted to buy a copy as soon as I heard about the book. I have been expecting some sort of spiral bound book of fifty or so pages to arrive in the mail. However, i was stunned today when I tored open the box to reveal a beautiful paperback of 364 pages! Well done my man!
Neal, you must be one of the very few, if there are any others, who would not only put so much dedication into running a website but also remembering to appreciate their members as part of one giant family. Thanks for taking the time out of your life, and the lives of your family members, to put together such a wonderful almanac for all of us. We're lucky to have you! p.s. Until I checked the mail today I had been dreading serving jury duty and possibility of having to spend a whole day just sitting around if I don't get picked. Now I'm really hoping for that same excuse to sit around and read my new almanac all day!

Mailman sunk, for me.
Despite a nice mail from Neal, my copy is about one month late. What to say? I'm becoming very unhappy |

The only complaint that I have is that Neal didn't hand deliver it to my house.
Instead I got an ornery mailman complaining about -20'C weather.

How do i go about buying this book, ive heard about the paypal but never used it, i only buy online from a NZ auction site, so wont use amazon etc.,.
What i thought i do is find out the price of the book then i go in my bank and get a money order or check or whateva you call it so when subsim get it the money/check it will be in american currency. Does that sound right? I will be sending by airmail. Whats the price so i can tell bank Whats the postal address to subsim. Thanks |

Ordering details here Paypal is the #1 online transaction system, as long as you have a valid credit card, or bank account, you can sign up for an account and do business. If you prefer, you can send a US Money order or American Express traveler's check from you local bank. If you use local currency or money orders, it costs me an extra $12 to process it. You can also wrap US cash in a couple sheets of paper mail it. thanks! Neal

Anyone else in the UK still waiting for their's to arrive from the batch sent out on 8 Feb? I'm just a little concerned that mine has still not arrived yet.

Hi Nemo, if you ordered shipping by surface, it can take 6-8 weeks. Hopefully Downly did not torpedo the mail ship again. E-mail me with your name and I will check the list to make sure I did not screw up and lose your order,
' 'thanks! Neal
