Sorry if it didn't fit in with your plans but the Society never claimed that the book would be ready for Christmas and it was not aimed at a Christmas market. It was to be ready when it was ready and it was ready on the 19th of December and as usual advertised in the quarterly magazine prior to its release. We're an all year round publisher and don't take too much notice of commercial imperatives like Christmas. There are several other of our books which make good Christmas presents.

I understand your frustration and value your long term support, but I think this particular comment is perhaps a tad unfair.
