    March, Amazon is now telling me for a revised date. Must be a popular book.

      Hi Christer, congrats on the book, seems there are real issues with Amazon UK.
      It's now gone to paperback only available via marketplace sellers, and Hardback not available at all.
      I spoke to Rickard at the publisher and he supplied me with a link to buy direct from publisher.

      It must be frustrating for you, having put the hard work in, for the launch to have an hiccup.

      A shame you are not planning to issue it as an Ebook.

      Best of luck with sales

        Yeah, and it looks as though the marketplace sellers are charging £4 - £5 more than the publishers RRP.
        Hopefully Amazon will have their own copies to sell shortly.

          I reckon it will get sorted, Steve, hiccup and all. Thanks for the well wishes!

            I ordered directly from the publisher, i want to read your book, to see if there is anything I need to address in mine before the 3rd edition update later in year.

            Hope it gets sorted soon, I know how much work is involved.

              Different platforms will opt for different prices, I guess. Surely, the solution to these old cases must be priceless, though...?

              I do hope that any issues with the sales can be sorted. Sorry for any inconvenience in that regard.

                No worries Christer!
                In my experience any delay in getting "Amazon copies" listed on the Amazon website is solely down to the vast numbers of new books they receive each week.
                I'm sure that it will be resolved soon.

                Cheers!

                  Taking a look at amazon UK from Sweden, it seems paperback copies can be ordered? If so, I think hardback copies will be in place shortly.

                    I was able to order last week, but have since cancelled with Amazon.
                    The point is the paperback is now only available to order via, third party, dealers, not directly from Amazon.
                    These have a huge Mark up, and a delivery date of late March. So I suspect they do not have copies at this time.
                    I have seen it before on Amazon. Once saw an Egyptology book, price £35, offered when it was delayed at a price of £985.00

                    Sure it will get sorted soon.

                      I´m told that once the material is distributed to the platforms, it may take between 2-6 weeks until all dealers have it all sorted and lined up for business. But Amazon and Barnes & Noble were supposed to be the ones quickest off the mark.
                      I believe Timaios will try and resolve any problems as quickly as possible.

                      Surely an Egyptology book priced at £985.00 must be written by Chufu himself? Or solve the Ripper riddle - was the Mummy the killer...?

                            Good one, your German is way better than my Swedish, I only know Ikea and some cuss words and phrases unfit for publication on casebook...
