John, I apologise. The ad. in EDS indicated that it would be available in December, and I took that to mean *by* December. In addition, the website indicated that it was available, but it wasn't there (and still isn't!) when you go to the online shop. And sorry, but I didn't want to buy any other book!

Even in the folk scene it seems that many releases *are* timed to coincide with the Christmas market, or the festival season or whatever, and I did make an assumption that EFDSS was trying to do the same - and failing.

So yes, I was perhaps a tad unfair, but I refrain from *abject* apologies!

Happy Christmas.
