The smell of the Indian swords.

I indeed hope they do arrive soon... I had mine pre-ordered in June and hadn't heard anything from the publishing house since then, and now it seems the book it's been out for some months, already. May I ask when did you receive yours? Can't say I'm exactly happy with all this...

hi marc,
the book has been held up in the states, and the delay has caused problems everywhere. there were a small number of pre-sale copies distributed by robert, and a small number sold on by an english bookseller. the book has not reached general release, but i know it will be worth your wait.

I have also experienced the same problem with my early order. I inquired a couple of times to the publisher with no response. I do know it will be worth the wait and do hope it comes out soon. Elgood presented at last years Timonium dinner with many fascinating slides of his research in India and we had the opportunity to flip through a pre-edited copy. I understand his next work will be on Balkan arms and armour.

Oh, I'm totally sure i won't be disappointed with the book and that it is well worth the wait, it's the lack of information about the delay coming from the publishing house what annoys me...
So, it seems I'm not alone in this... ok, let's wait a little bit more and see if things clear up.
Thank you all for answering to my concern, gentlemen, I feel more at ease, now.

Sincerely
Marc

BOOKFINDER.COM has 7 or 8 copies available from various worldwide booksellers including Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon. Maybe a stack will show up in Baltimore.
