I just checked again my order at amazon.co.uk, and they say that the delivery 
estimate is June 21. I am worried to trust this and then have to wait 5-8 days to 
get my copy. I am at this point still debating between getting another copy 
here in the US tomorrow night or not. The main reason to get it would be to 
avoid the wait, but i'll be a bit upset if i buy it and the next morning the book is 
at my door. On the other hand, having an extra copy is not such a bad idea 
because i have several friends who borrowed my books and i know they are 
eager to read them too, and having two copies would be great so i can lend 
one and still reread over and over the one i keep. What should i do?

Maria, looking forward to getting real job and not living on a grad student 
salary any more
