Hey Joel,
I was wondering, some folks were thinking this is being released tomorrow. As I had pre-ordered this thru amazonUK, they sent an email to me on 5/9 with the following info:

Hello,

We regret to inform you that the following items have been delayed as we are still awaiting stock from our suppliers :

Joel McIver "Crazy Train: The High Life and Tragic Death of Randy Rhoads"
Estimated arrival date: May 26 2011 - June 03 2011

One of Amazon's aims is to provide a convenient and efficient service; in this case, we have fallen short. Please accept our sincere apologies.

You have not been charged for this item. We do not debit money from your payment card until just before your items are dispatched. We will send you a dispatch confirmation email on the date of dispatch.

Sincerely,

Customer Service Department
Amazon.co.uk
http://www.amazon.co.uk

If it's running behind, so be it, I just wanted to pass along the info to those who more or less only visit the RRfb page.
I'd say I'm really looking forward to this, but that would be pointing out the obvious. :wink:
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for letting me know man. The actual release date is out of my hands, unfortunately: I was told only that the book will be out in late May/early June. I've had a copy so I know they've been printed, it's just a case of the distributors getting the stock over to Amazon and the bookstores.

Any further problems, let me know! and once again, thanks for your support.

Cheers

Joel

Absolutely, Joel...even if it's a bit late, so what? As soon as the publishers get their act together, It'll be flying all over the globe, bringing a little more knowledge about our hero to the masses.
You must be somewhat proud and perhaps a bit nervous, as this is the first true book on Randy Rhoads being released to the public.
I'd like to be the first to say thanks for your efforts and that I appreciate your visiting here to keep folks updated.
Cheers to you, Sir!
