Hang in there guys. The books are on their way.
But I gotta say I'm disappointed to hear they haven't arrived yet. Dutch postal services promised delivery between 5 and 7 days...

Mine hasn't arrived but I am not concerned. Two/ three weeks is usual from Europe to my little part of Oz. I have a gig bag for my MB Fusion 500 still coming from UK, which left before the book. No worries. Let you know when the book arrives. All the best.

5-7 days to reach US shores  is probably reasonable, but it could easily take up to another week once they've arrived and passed customs, depending on where they're going. I'm not concerned.

Waiting, but it's only a week since order so not expecting it for another few weeks I guess.
I'll watch VeeBass's posts and judge it from there.

Mine arrived today. Thanks Rob (and Uwe). I'm totally amazed by it. It's written exactly in the vein I would have hoped it to be. The introduction is really heartwarming for me since I was there (Dudepit) pretty early on.

My only disappointment is no autographed copy... ;)

Well now that you mention it......
My wife saw the book opened it and said "these are beautiful!"
I told her they would have looked even better if Rob would have signed it
