I just checked Amazon and found this:
Availability: Usually ships within 5 to 7 weeks
I got mine from Amazon rather quickly, but I think the demand has been so great, it may be backordered.
You can buy it on ebay, but they're selling for a little more than they would on Amazon.
I'd go with ebay---if I could afford a hardcover book right now! :( At least with ebay you can get a straight answer from a seller about the book's availability: "I'm looking at it now," or not.
I ordered my book yesterday. Shipping estimate August 23, 2004. Shipping delivery estimate August 26 to August 30, 2004
that must have been posted immediately after I ordered...or after the drudge headline. According to my order status now, I should expect it btw 8/27-8/30...hopefully.
