Based on this thread, I went and had a look at the local Belgian/Dutch retailers. Found EUR 50 to be too much, so I went to Amazon UK, and with delivery and conversion rate included, this £15.02 will amount to about EUR 25. For a book of this size, I can live with that price so I ordered it. Curious to see if it will ever arrive Did I need it? Nah. Do I want it? Sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cancelled my £18 order, and re-pre-ordered at the even lower price! Agreed, I'm a right old tight wad to save a couple of quid! 🤑 Amazon would have refunded the difference if you'd kept your £18 order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Price is up and down like someones drawers but Amazon will only give you the lower price on day it dispatches but they won't go higher than your order price. Mines is due in at latest tomorrow 26th Jan but still not here and no emails to say its delayed.........YET. !!!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Email this morning on the final day that book has been delayed until sometime between Feb13th and Mar 9th. Great service from Amazon.........mmmmm😠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin_lindsay Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The delays in the delivery from Amazon are nothing to do with them - they need to wait until the second printing has been completed. For those of us who ordered from the original print run, you'll know how often the anticipated delivery date changed. Almost every week there was a new "expected delivery date".

floFC Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Placed an order today, at £15 it sounds silly not to. Don’t really mind when it arrives, as long as it does (before I lose my eyesight 😂 😎) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Received from Amazon a few moments ago ... " Lee, Geddy "Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass" Estimated arrival date: February 22 2019 - March 25 2019 " I think I'll just cancel it and buy a few 'plane parts with the money instead. ... and done.

12stringbassist Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Mine was due yesterday (from amazon), then it failed to arrive and new date is 'Arriving 22 Feb - 22 Mar'. Anyone smell a rat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12stringbassist Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Cancelled and reordered at £15.02. In no hurry for it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0062747835/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Now showing as Kindle at £20 or used at over £100. I pre-ordered in December at about £18 - I've just had the "delivery in Feb / March" email too. I wonder if the entire run has actually sold out?

ubit Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I'm curious as to how you all managed to procure copies so cheaply. I've just looked on Amazon and it's going for £110 or £20 for a Kindle version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickJ Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 It looks like Amazon has stopped taking orders for the book. Hopefully this doesn't mean existing orders will be cancelled The £110 price is offers for second hand copies available through 3rd parties on the Amazon Market Place.

NJE Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Placed an order as it was rude not to for £15, that’s a couple of coffees in most places. Happy to wait a few months if need be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_lindsay Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I bought it at £18, and re-ordered another copy when it was advertised at £15 (just on case I need a quick gift for someone). I'm happy to wait until the new print run is available. It's a fantastic bass book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be offended in any way whatsoever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
