Please can someone who has an account at Waterstone's take a look for final calculation page, how much would be shipping for the Czech Repbulic? I don't want to create an account just to find out they ship for 10 UKP. Thanks.

So, I ordered 7 Catalogues from Waterstone's for me and some other Czech fans to save on postage, and this is what has arrived

I got my copy from a local bookshop on wednesday. I just love it. Have read something like 79 pages so far. I´ve had to read to an exam and had to work so that´s why I have read so little. Gotta continue soon.

Strange thing is that it's written "Sweden post" on the bag... Yet the sender address is in the UK. What's behind this

You're completely right, don't understand it as well... Maybe there's a distributioncentre from Waterstones in Sweden, don't know. The most important thing is the fact that Catalogue arrived in the best conditions without any damage... AND that's Catalogue just brilliant!

@ the bag! That's cool!

I got mine over a week ago from amazon.com.

Tried ordering it from Chapters.ca before (I am located in Canada) - my piece of advice: DON'T. They tried to scam me out of my money...
The book is listed as available, but as soon as your payment goes through they tell you (a week later) that it's out of stock.

In North America amazon.com seems to be the (only) way to go! And it was -33% off the cover price too.

That book is so friggin GORGEOUS!

£17.99 now online at Waterstones...

Has anyone bought from their site - I saw some comments about delays even though it says In Stock...

It will be because the Royal Mail is so outrageously expensive, so Waterstone's will be using some kind of contractor to do their international mailing. Whenever I order from British Amazon, my parcels always have a German postmark.

I did (ordered 7 pcs).

At the time, it was saying "usually dispatches within 24 hours"

I made an order on Nov 1 or 2. They charged me on Nov 6 (Monday). The parcel arrived on Nov 9 (Thurdsay).
