[R] Peter Dalgaard's book availability....

[Marc R. Feldesman]

At 12:13 PM 8/27/2002, Ko-Kang Kevin Wang took a glob of electronic fairy 
dust, mushed it together in odd and bizarre ways, and ruminated:

I preordered from Amazon in early July.  Despite reports of shipments from 
Amazon, Amazon's own customer service people insist the book isn't 
available yet.  I cancelled my order with Amazon and went over to Barnes & 
Noble.  There I ordered it and it will ship tomorrow.

Just for fun, I went back to the Amazon site and tried to pre-order the 
book again.  When I did, the site told me the book would ship on September 
15, 2002.  Something is definitely amiss at Amazon US right now.
