As recently posted in another thread:
"Amazon.com and affiliates received some bad information from their distributors; I have already informed the editor and he indicated that he would take care of it. Rest assured that Prentice Hall has received the printed books at their warehouse and all that remains now is for the books to be sent out to the various stores' warehouses. This process can takes about a week (give or take a few days) so we should see the book available online and in stores within the first 10 days of August. Non-US locations may take a few additional weeks beyond that, unfortunately, but nowhere near the end of September or October."
Originally, the book was scheduled to be at the Publisher's warehouse July 10th. That date slipped to July 27th. Why Amazon ever showed July 4th is a big mystery. In any event, the book has been printed and is being moved as quickly as possible to the retail outlets.
I did post just the other day that I had a copy of the book and that the books were being distributed now, so I don't understand why everyone believed Amazon's very wrong release date.
Thanks for the interest in the book, we hope you find it both informative and fun!

Mine is on the way.
That's why I bought the first one from the publisher.
I received an email from the publisher on Friday stating that my order was on the UPS truck.

Price difference?
I checked the availability of the book on the American Book Centres http://www.abc.nl web site and it claims that there are two versions of the book, US and UK.
The difference is that the US version costs EUR 58.49 and the UK version costs EUR 72.93. Since I am assuming that this is EXACTLY the same book, I was wondering if anyone has an explanation.

Book on Bol.Com in...
I asked the Bol.com client service when the book will be available, and their answer was that it should make its appearance on the site "probably" the third week of August.
Just as a thought, couldn't the book authors become "partners" of Bol.com, so that those of us in europe could also order the book through the wxWidgets website but place our orders through Bol.com? In such a case the wxWidgets authors could also receive a "kickback" for book purchases with Bol.com.
This would surely benefit both yourselves the authors and those of us who live in "United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy and China" (all countries with their 'own' Bol.com)
Another advantage of Bol (in the Netherlands in any case) is that they ship the book with a bill (what is called here an acceptgiro) which you take to the bank to pay for the goods received. This is great since you don't pay anything until you actually get the goods, no more paying and waiting to see if you've been scammed.
