ME:
I did this as well (in January) an I was wondering when it will 
really be delivered. I bought my other British Editions while I was 
living in England so I don't know, and the other things I have 
ordered from amazon.co.uk took a long time.  

In theory if our British books ARE supposed to arrive in the US on 
saturday then they must be in the mail right? But they *can't* be 
with the UK embargo.

I'm thinking I won't get this book for a few days after...well 
that's just one reason why I'm DEFINITELY going to be at my local 
bookshop at midnight for a copy.

(I'd still call B&N or Borders...I bet you could still reserve a 
copy. For GoF I reserved my copy when I got there that night. But 
then that was three years ago, but there was no trouble.)

Scott 
who thinks having an extra (lending copy) is a good idea...I'm 
picking up another (american) copy of CoS because I'm afraid I leant 
mine to someone who isn't giving it back...

grrr!
