Review of 'Steel and Magic'

Ian · 26th March 2020, 09:45 AM

I ordered and paid for this book more than two months ago, and then received several emails to say that publication was delayed and I may not receive a copy until May. Although I live in Australia, it seems an unusually long wait if others already have received their copies. Thanks for posting this review and I will contact the publishers again.

Hello Ian,

Since you ordered early, I'm sure your copy is already on its way to you. I guess they gave a worst case estimate for arrival under current circumstances...

Regards,
Kai

On checking with the publisher, the book was indeed sent over a week ago but presently sits in a Frankfurt shipping office awaiting clearance to forward to Australia. We have been in lock down for ten days, and who knows when it will be lifted. No overseas flights in or out. So I guess it will be a while before I get a copy.

Mine arrived yesterday. A very impressive volume, indeed. I can't wait to dive into it.
