I pre-ordered a copy of the new, (first, only, best, and original) Pentaho book “Pentaho Solutions” by Roland Bouman and Jos van Dongen two weeks back. Saw from a tweet that the book was shipping from Amazon. Cool – had a look at the page. Sure, they can ship today if I get my order in on time so I know they can ship it.
How about my pre order, which I would assume would go out before regular orders? Won’t ship until next week? Delivered by 9/11/2009? Lesson learned – don’t pre order from Amazon. 🙂
Count yourself luck Nick, its not even released till September in the UK.
dodgy Y key 😉
Hi Nick!
I’m so sorry to hear that! I’d expect the pre-ordering to be handled prior to the more recent orders too.
kind regards,
Roland Bouman
There should be one in your mailbox anytime soon; Wiley shipped some preview copies last week to a bunch of people, including you ;-). And as Tom is one of the technical reviewers, he should get a copy really soon too. I received 20 of them yesterday and I must agree, it’s the best Pentaho book on the market! (at least until Wills book hits the shelves…)
Same here. I pre-ordered 5 books a few months ago. ETA is now end of September.
