And now I can say I used to live in a house with a published author! Imagine my surprise when walking into Borders in the Trafford Centre to be confronted by Mr McCarthy’s name in print.

They only had one copy.. and it was in business biographies (in case anyone else wonders).

It is quite common to find rare and out of print items advertsied as available with a 4-6week delivery estimate. The longest I have heard anyone wait for fulfilment was 18months! Most give up after 3 months! It's a good job they don't charge your card until they dispatch or you'd really feel ripped off! Why don't you actually try selling the book yourself on amazon, many authors do this as getting distribution deals can be tricky, especially in foriegn countries.

That's when I ordered my copy from them. No sign of it yet. I guess they were taking orders but just not shipping them. Amazon.com has been selling the book for at least six weeks.
