new book

Just had an email from Haynes and they told me it was released Wednesday this week and are suprised I'm having difficulty finding it.

They were really suprised that amazon were quoting me receiving a copy by maybe the end of this month or sometime early April.

Anyone successfully found it in the shops yet?

John (JRoberts) got one this morning from the haynes museum apparently (although you would expect them to have their own book i suppose)

Cheers

Alex
PS
He says it looks good too

Yeah, it was in the shop at Haynes motor museum this morning.

yep, Alex is right, it's good. Very thorough, but not perfect.

It's been issued, many of the larger bookstores only take deliveries one day a week, it depends when your local stores delivery is.

I could read you bits out i suppose

cheers

So you get the cut and not them?


Cheers,

from amazon,

I hope that you would appreciate that being the retailers we are
totally dependant on our suppliers for the supply, and the latest
information from our suppliers shows that they are facing unexpected
delays in obtaining this "Build Your Own Sports Car: On a budget".

Therefore, we are still waiting on this item to be delivered to us
by our suppliers.

I can understand the frustration you should have undergone at this
instance. I really regret for this inconvenience.

We confirm that we still expect to dispatch your order #
by the date listed in Your Account: March 26, 2007 - April
10, 2007.

No mate, there's a clause in the contract, besides Mrs G would go mental if I had to stack books in the house!

Chris, Outstanding work. Book arrived today and I'm now off to order some steel

Just gotta see if a V8 will fit.

I think it's time to ask for a Haynes Roadster section from ChrisW.
