Walter, lock the doors and take the phone off the hook - you're gonna be blown away by this two volume collection! Mine arrived last week and I have to keep a 'drool towel' handy! ;>)

Well, they arrived, and I'm already exhausted just from carrying them into the house. As Superman might have said to Wonderwoman, what a pair! They were, in fact, shipped from the UK, but only after Stuart himself wrote asking for my email address and phone number as per DHL's requirements. Good thing, too, since the DHL van arrived while I was in the bathtub and nobody else was at home. The driver called my cell from his cell. I threw on a pair of trousers, and ran outside to sign for my prime plant por.., er, treatise. If only the DHL man had taken the same trouble a few years ago when he dropped MT's last 6 N. hurrelliana on my front porch - in January at 20 degrees F. When I found them there two days later... Ah - no use crying over spilled milk. I spent an hour just flipping pages, and then dug into the introduction. For once, I am going to read a book from beginning to end without skipping a word. I may read the hurrelliana section twice. (snif) -WG

My books finally arrived! They do look fantastic. Will start reading tonight...

To get to California!
They have yet to make it even to Hawaii. China will be waiting for a long time.
(I would have gladly paid for expedited shipping had this been an option!)

Sam, a bunch of us on an Asian forum ordered as a group. As well as a nice discount, everything was shipped to one member by air and he shipped to each of us...had 'em in less than 2 weeks...but at a cost!

Something must be terribly wrong shipping across the atlantic.......I ordered my set on the 7th, and they arrived today. That's like...what...6 days? ;D
Have to say it's a top notch book......
