It's Here!
Just got my copy of Art & Design yesterday.
Mr Caplin, you've done it again.
Brilliant! I love it.
... and yes, I will hit the review at Amazon.

Thanks, Helene. I decided against video tutorials because this really isn't a techniques book, it's a design book. I don't think video tutorials would have added that much.

Glad you're enjoying it all the same, though!

Ordered mine over a week ago but it's earmarked to be dispatched 7 Oct 2008 - 8 Oct 2008 - not sure what's happening at Amazon with this book as all my other orders have been completed within a week.

Looking forward to giving this a read.

Re: It's Here!
On my way to get this soon!!

EDIT: It was in stock at Barnes & Noble

Off to school now, but will take a look tonight flipping through It looks very cool.

EDIT 2: Poking through the book and noticed a couple typos, just an fyi
The more obvious one occuring on Page 45 in the MORE INFO section it reads: You can find a wide sleection of monospaced fonts...

I'll have to wait a few more weeks, my daughter is giving it to me for my birthday.
Hopefully it will arrive before we go to Fiji, should be good reading by the pool.

I've already read it through twice just got to get going on each tutorial. I'm sure i'll learn 100 new things I never thought of.

Re: It's Here!
Yes, it's definitely here. Got my copy yesterday and it's a beautiful book, very inspiring!

At the same time as I ordered ADIP I order the book Bold Visions by Gary Tonge. It's also a very inspiring. Eventhough this is a book on graphic art, it's also very much about composition and lighting, so you can learn a lot even if you're not into graphic art.

You can never get enough of inpiration!

Re: It's Here!
I've been waiting over a month for my copy of this book from Amazon only to find today a new message on the book's link "Temporarily Out of Stock!" isn't a month's pre-order enough warning to stock up? I'm getting pretty fedup I could have got this book from any of the other online book stores Barnes & Noble etc. or at least I presume I could judging by the fact that everybody else seem to have their copy! Yet Amazon can't even honour pre-orders!

What's happening Steve have they run out of paper at the publishers? Have you sold thousands of copies already - although not through Amazon? Or is this entirely Amazon's myopic planning?

I don't know what's going on here, Becky. Chasing the publishers now.

I haven't got mine yet from Amazon either. It's showing as due to be dispatched 7th/8th October and it's the 7th today, so I'm keeping everything crossed (difficult to type with fingers crossed, but still!).

I always have this problem with Amazon.com with pre-orders especially.

Re: It's Here!
I've just had this email back from Amazon

Dear Customer

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk.

Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience, but "Art and Design in Photoshop (Paperback)" appears to have been a surprise sellout.

When you placed your order, we believed we had access to more copies - we then discovered that every one of our distributors had rapidly sold out and the item has been dispatched as per the priority basis for the customers who had placed the order earlier.

Please know that we do expect another batch of this item to be received from our suppliers and we still expect to dispatch your order as soon as possible.

Major distributors have thousands of copies on order from the publisher, all apparently awaiting the next print run. As soon as more copies become available, we'll be able to dispatch them to our customers.

When your order is ready to be dispatched, we will send you an e-mail message to confirm the date, contents and method of delivery.

However, as this was not what you expected when you placed your order, we would understand if you'd prefer to cancel it. You may cancel any undispatched items yourself by clicking on Your Account at the top of any page of our website and selecting the link that says "Cancel items or orders". After signing in with your e-mail address and
password, you will be able to cancel this item from your order.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this regard and thanks again for shopping at Amazon.co.uk.



So it seems either your publisher hasn't published enough copies or they are selling like hot cakes - let's hope you're onto a real winner here Steve - I just wish I had my copy.

Re: It's Here!
Becky, thanks for that! Well, it could indeed be a surprise sell-out - or it could just be that the copies are still in transit from the Canadian publishers. Hope they turn up soon!

I've cancelled mine from Amazon - they've just put the delivery date back to 29th October. I'll look for it elsewhere on the web - I don't want to wait that long for it.

You'd think that by offering pre-ordering, they'd have an idea of how many to order.

Re: It's Here!
Pity about all this. I had just decided to buy it I could really do with some help in the design area.

I wonder if Waterstones are likely to have it on a shelf somewhere?

EDIT: Just phoned Borders and nothing He said he checked with their wholesaler and also drew a blank. Not even a mention of when they might get it.
