Late delivery of the WRTH

For those of you who had ordered the World Radio TV Handbook from Amazon, and not yet received it...

We are very sorry for the delay in shipping of WRTH 2009 by Amazon.com. Copies of the book reached the Port of New York on December 16. They were trucked from there in a sealed container direct to the distribution center in Virginia, USA. They should, and could easily have been, released from there before Christmas. For some reason they did not get released *officially* until January 15. We think they were actually released on February 2.

We are aware that the late delivery to Amazon has also had an impact on readers and clubs all over the world who ordered from Amazon.com or from websites who do so.

This is the worst distribution performance ever in any country for any edition of WRTH. Next year we will be using a different distribution system.

Thanks for the info and I've been putting off ordering it but now I think I will. But will there be a delay if I order it now and if so about how long will it be?

Impossible to say. The best policy would be to ask this of whomever you decide to order the book from. There's just too many distributors to even make an obvious guess 73 Mike
