Had an email from Amazon that mine is coming next week

Mine arrived from Amazon today. Nice way to kill a day off work!

My preorder from Book Depository just got refunded and they say the item's cancelled. They've really gone to hell since getting bought by Amazon

Got mine last week from my Local Book Shop and finished it yesterday.

Most interesting thing is the final story - the latest (3rd?) round of Mechanismo stories.

Hurrah! Mine has turned up today and I shall read it in bed tonight and I probably won't write a review

Cant remember what number the last Case Files I read was, where story wise are they up to now?

The last story in CF 19 is the fianl instalment in the Mechanismo trilogy, Body Count.
That and Inferno are the center piece's for this CF.

CF17 was primarily Judgement Day; 18 included Mechanismo I & II as well as PJ and the Mock Choc Factory; and as Hawkmonger says 19 has Inferno and Mechanismo III. By my reckoning Case Files 20 is probably going to be the nadir of the series so far before Wagner properly returns and the quality starts to ramp up again.

Mine turned up from The Book Depository this morning, 'appy days!

radiator · 21 May, 2012, 11:07:28 AM

Hmm, still no book nor even a dispatch email for me...

Pioneer · 21 May, 2012, 11:11:35 AM

I did chase it up last Wednesday when I read that some of their orders were being cancelled, got a couple of pretty meaningless replies and then a shipping confirmation email on Friday.

Have you queried it on their website?

Just got a dispatch email from The Book Depository, so it seems like someone, somewhere has finally got their shit together.

It's now showing as 'in stock' on Amazon and TBD...

Since Amazon bought the Book Depository, why do they maintain the fiction that it's a separate seller?

Grishmal · 22 May, 2012, 09:00:52 PM

After cancelling my preorder saying Case Files 19 was unavailable Bookdepository.com relisted the book at more than 12 dollars more than what I paid for it originally. However Bookdepository.co.uk has relisted it at slightly less than my preorder so I guess it all worked out. Still I wish there were more options for Americans to get these books.
