I've had a copy of my "Sams Teach Yourself SharePoint 2007: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0" book in my hands for about five days now (thanks to over 24 hours delivery time for the last 15 miles of the journey from the US) and in that time Amazon US have still been showing it as being at Pre-Order status.

Today, finally, the Amazon US site is showing it as being in Stock

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672330008/heme0f

Now all it needs is someone to buy it.

(Somehow the fact that that same Amazon site is showing it as the 550,732 "best-selling" book doesn't in my book indicate massive sales. Here's hoping that's a pre- "In Stock" figure).
