Why not order from Van der Plas directly toll-free at 877-353-1207 (or http://www.cyclepublishing.com) You pay list price, sure, but the money goes directly to the editor/publisher, who will spend it on new bicycle book projects. And you'll have the book sooner.
Or order it from your local bookstore, if you still have one in your neighborhood. Amazon is to bookselling what Walmart is to bicycle retailing.
Disclaimer: Van der Plas/Cycle Publishing advertises in VBQ, so I have a (very small) interest in their commercial success.
