Re: Beocentral Book Review
I ordered mine just a few minutes ago from Beoworld gifts section, awaiting for that of Amazon.fr and for the pleasure to own one exemplar signed by the authors! From a impassioned Beocollector, Marc

Re: Beocentral Book Review
Just to let everyone know - half the books have sold within 12 hours If you do want a signed copy, i strongly suggest you act pretty quickly as they will all be gone soon. Lee

Re: Beocentral Book Review
Just ordered mine Hopefully will have it by Monday My wife ordered me a copy back in December from Amazon but it still is yet to be dispatched so she has now cancelled the order. I'm eager to see which pieces the authors consider to be collectable and or rare. I'm under orders to reduce my collection and I would hate to sell the wrong pieces...

Re: Beocentral Book Review
richtoy's copy, King Street's copy and seven more were posted today. They should all start arriving pretty soon - should be fun to see what everyone thinks when they all get them at once. This should be a busy thread!! Not many copies left now. Lee

Re: Beocentral Book Review
Well... not quite.. After buying the book, buying a padded envleope and paying 'International Signed For' delivery, BeoWorld is actually making a monster profit of around 23p a book.. I never thought the postage would be so expensive!

Re: Beocentral Book Review
Jandyt: I'm starting to feel guilty, ordering mine from Amazon way back in August!
And I feel like a 2nd class citizen for not receiving mine yet, even though I placed the Amazon order on Sep 2nd

Mine is still sitting there, with estimated delivery between Jan 19th - Feb 6th. Did you actually go to UK Amazon and not amazon.com? They seem to have separate order databases.

Re: Beocentral Book Review
The Beocentral Book arrived! I received my signed copy from Beoworld this morning and I am very happy of this. This is really an essential book for all Beocollectors and even for all simple B&O lovers. Wonderful photos, details, advices, useful tips... all that every serious collector needs. The book that we were waiting for. Cheers to Tim & Nick Jarman! Marc

Re: Beocentral Book Review
Very good idea, Peter! I wrote my review but on Amazon.fr, not on the other Amazons, because you can do only if you have ordered an item. My review will be published (in French) within 48 hours. Once again this Book is really a reference work for all Beofans!

Re: Beocentral Book Review
I got mine on Monday
I've always liked the way the Jarmans write on Beocentral, and the book was no disappointment in this area, either. I would've picked this up at the book store even if I wasn't a convert already!
And I won't cancel the Amazon order either, I'm sure the book will find a home later...
