Hi all,
will add my sorry tale of woe when it comes to Amazon.com and Diana Bristow's books. Amazon continues to list Sinking the Myths, but why they do so I am not sure as they are completely unable to fill orders.
I have been 'backordered' on Myths for well over a year now. here is how the process works: I order the book on-line and get a confirmation from Amazon that they received the order. then nothing for a month or so. then a message from them stating that they are having trouble getting the book from the publisher. a month or two later I get another message that they have been unable to fill the order, and would I please email them to confirm I still want the book (which I do). a month or two more passes and I finally get an email from Amazon stating the book is unavailable, they apologize for the inconvenience, yadda, yadda, yadda.
I have been through this complete process twice now, and am on my third go round. and I am already in the late stages of round three as I just 'confirmed' that I STILL want the book. I expect to get an email within the next few weeks stating, yet again, that they can't get the book.
I have emailed Amazon asking them why they just don't change the status for this title to 'unavailable', but got no answer.
to make a long story short, it is highly unlikely that Amazon will be able to get a copy of this book for anyone. my recommendation is to go ahead and place the order through Amazon so you will be on file if they should happen to actually find a couple of copies, but don't have any serious expectations of actually getting the book.
unfortunately, I have found no other source for her books either, but with some of the information posted previously, I will give it another try. and as always, if I have any luck, I will be sure to let you all know.
all the best, Michael (TheManInBlack) T
