Shards and Shadows order cancelation?! (Amazon)

[Trek]

Has anyone else had Amazon (UK in my case) cancel their order for the mirror universe anthology Shards and Shadows? Amazon UK is now listing it as unavailable and you can no longer pre-order it, only sign up for an email alert for when it becomes available.

that may be due to their moronic insistance it was available to buy when it's not out until February in the UK...

Yep Got the cancellation for that and Fearful Symmetry wonder if its because I pre-ordered them and would of been paying £2.99 for each book

I emailed amazon and told them that they were still selling Fearful Symmetry and got a response saying that it was a different edition, the one I ordered was paperback and this one is PaperBack (Exact spelling) emailed them back asking for an explanation but still waiting.

Yeah I noticed their listing still says it's out 30 May 2008!

Canceling my Fearful Symmetry order really annoyed me too (I had that on pre-order for nearly 2 years!). The difference there was the authors, which is why they're considering them different editions.

I just reordered it, but I'll have to wait until November now as that's the first order I can get enough together for the free shipping. Doesn't matter though as I've hot the Terok Nor Trilogy to tide me over until then.

Amazon UK have been going steadily downhill for years.

^true.

the thing with FS is, they literally had 2 versions on the site. one was 'unavailable', the other was and both were apparently the same book, with the same author, page counts and release dates...

GTTS had 2 versions as well, but one was an August release, the other listed a Sept. 1 release. i bought the Aug. one.

Im not bothering with Amazon Uk for St books either.
Amazon Used and New (Particularily The Book Depository, which delivers books a month before it even ships to the UK) however is a different matter.

Yeah, Book Depository, which has its own website btw, is very good.

That's where I'm getting my stuff from, Amazon are starting to really suck.
