I pre-ordered at the end of May. PPCD posted on here that her copy was in the mail a few days ago and I hadn't heard anything from Amazon yet. So, I went online to check the status of the book and the estimated shipping was AUGUST 11

. We start back to school in early August, so I was *really* mad that my book wasn't scheduled to ship until I was already back in school. By that time, it's too late to do a major room reorganizations.
I got on the phone with their customer service (which was a *major* time-consuming pain). But, I suppose it sort of paid off... the next day I received an email saying that my book would arrive by July 12th.
I'm still really annoyed that I had to call about it. The whole purpose of pre-ordering is so that you get your book
fast!!
I hope this isn't routine with Amazon because I have 2 other books pre-ordered through them and I DO NOT want to go through this rigamarole again.

I'm glad to hear that the book is good...I can't wait to get it! I'm reorganizing my whole classroom this year!
