Lucene Book in UK

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I wondered what's happened to 'Lucene In Action' in the UK.  Looking forward to reading it but amazon.co.uk report it as a 'hard to find' item and are now quoting a 4-6 week delivery time and  tacking on a rare book charge.  Amazon.com are quoting shipping in 24hrs.  Is this a new 'Boston Tea Party'? 

cheers

David

It's news to me that Amazon is shipping it in the U.S. even.... but I 
just checked and you're right!  They *just* got it in stock though, so 
I'm sure it takes a bit more time for the U.K. to get it.

It's been shipping from Manning's site for a couple of weeks now 
though, and as noted, it includes the e-book along with it.

Have you checked Manning's site (http://www.manning.com), where you can 
order the book directly from them (the publisher) and they will also 
provide you
with a copy of an eBook in the mean time until your paperback arrives in 
mail?

P.S. two cubes of sugar with that tea, please :)
