Mine is stuck in Valencia's custom office. They are demanding me proof of what I bought and the payment.

Since Brexit, the custom office is hunger for taxes.

Yeah I have bought vinyl via eBay from the UK and I have the same problem. I will have to let it return as the options are all more expensive than the item itself.

I can imagine. I'll have to settle for the free PDF, though :)

It's a great document, though. It has amazing photos of the guitars and when they were used, new content written by people like Rudy Pensa and John Suhr, but also a collection of excerpts from old interviews and articles.

Happened once to me too. Sent a package from the Middle East to Utrecht, Netherlands. Arrived in Amsterdam, then somehow went away to Skopje, North Macedonia (??) and then flown back to Amsterdam. Mindblowing

I received a phone call from DHL with a full apology which was nice, and unusual for these types of corporations.

I ordered it on 22 November and it arrived on 4 January (in Italy). But I think ordering it now (since it is already printed) will arrive sooner, assuming the copies are not sold out!

My copy arrived today (England). I'd drooled over the .pdf but there's some serious bedtime reading in the hard copy.  ;D

I was fortunate enough to be approached by Christies to use one of my photos (p.241) and when I said they could use it for free as long as I got a photo credit, I was offered a catalogue free of charge. Very nice of them. I'm well pleased.
When you point your finger 'cause your plan fell through you've got 3 more fingers pointing back at you.

That's very cool!

My copy also arrived today, having left Cincinnati yesterday :)
