Just checked my order status, it says:

Dispatch estimate: 29 Nov 2007
Delivery estimate: 3 Dec 2007 - 7 Dec 2007

So they must be getting more orders than they have books for.

My friend just informed me that he has received the same letter. Now I really have to make up my mind about whether I want to wait or buy it locally for almost twice as much as it costs on amazon uk or us.

Ordered November 29, received in Zurich Dec 12 (at post office).

$141.75 + S&H $12.48

Now trying to figure out a practical way to read this monster.

My copy arrived from Amazon last week. Package weighed 17lbs! :eek: It is truly a monster!!
 
I was just flicking through this beast in my local Borders. Looks very impressive, and it's fascinating to see who's covering whom.

BTW I noticed when looking through the book that my three favourite 'young' Magnum photogs, Trent Parke, Alex Majoli and Donovan Wylie, were all born in the same year – 1971. Which makes them all a year younger than me, over-achieving *******s! ;)
 
I cancelled my order with Amazon UK and ordered with Amazon US instead...costs more (about 12%), but at least you get the book.

I thought about that too but since I'm in no hurry I thought I'd wait a little to see if something happens.
 
Update: My friend (who placed the order for us both) just got a message saying that the book won't be available until summer. We now cancelled the order and will get it from amazon.com.
 
You might want to think about ordering direct from the Magnum store. It might work out a little more expensive, but at least the money's going straight to the people themselves, and they're great at getting things delivered quickly.
 
Quick question about the printing.. Are the photos printed so there's one for each page or are there any of those annoying two-page photos with a big split right in the middle? I hate that! :bang: :bang:

Haven't gone through the book in detail yet, but while there are some double page spreads, most are on a single page.

I was just in a local shopping mall close to my house in Bangkok and I saw Magnum Magnum and it was around 150.00 usd (after conversion from Thai Baht) with my 15% discount at the store....the book was brand new and sealed so I couldn't open it up and check it out.....After looking on Amazon and seeing how much this book costs back in the states I think it is a good deal for prices out here...the book is actually around
175 usd but with my discount it is 150 usd which I think is a pretty good deal considering that books usually cost more out here....anyways....I think I am going to go back tomorrow and pick it up...I guess my question is, for those of you have it or have had the pleasure of looking through it.....Is this book worth it?

thanks, Michael

p.s......I love books......self-portrait...Paris
