Oh, just saw your note now-- thank you for your sympathy and offers.!  
I did preorder from Amazon, and the best they can do is say that some 
regions take up to 21 days.  Now, someone kindly offered to try 
sending it from Germany in case that would be closer and faster.  I 
need a more specific answer from Amazon.  It has occurred to me that I 
could phone my friends at home repeatedly and have them read aloud, or 
something, until my amazon.com book gets here >:-D.  (Maybe I could 
enlist everyone to email me a different chapter, ha ha...)
