Well, I received an email on 27th November to say it would ship 1st week in December 'slightly later than expected...We'll dispatch your book as soon as we possibly can, and you will receive an automated email from us when your order is on its way'. But still no book nor second email.

I have now taken the afternoon off in order to be at home and available if they - who they might be - try to make a new effort.When tracking the book, at least there isn't a second try earlier today. But I cannot stay at home trying to catch the firm's delivery any more this week. So it's today or bust...? Or....?  |

*phew!!* My postman this afternoon brought me a slip to tell me I had an item to pick up at my local Post (Office) - we don´t have any PO:s anymore, we do all things Post @ our local CooP! It was "Fairport by Fairport" so I am pleased for the time being that I have laid my hands on it. My first thougt though: if this is my "Coffee Table"-sized Fairport book, I´ll have to buy myself a much smaller Coffee Table. The size of this plastic-wrapped book is more for my small bedside table.....  But enough of that. I will save breaking the plastic wrapper until this weekend when I hopefully can enjoy the book together with Fairport albums and a glass or two of my favourite red wine. I sincerely hope that yours arrive in the near future so that you can hava a "Fairport by Fairport" weekend, too!  |

I think it is the rest of us who should be paranoid. They have managed to deliver one copy to Wales and one to Sweden and nobody else has heard a thing.

Don't go blaming Royal Mail anyone. All offices are cleared of mail and parcels every day. They do a top rate job imho. To be frank, it's really bad timing to be sending out large numbers of a fairly chunky parcel two weeks before Xmas isn't it? Good luck everyone for a successful pre Xmas delivery! |

Sorry Al, I posted that in your section - it wasn't aimed at your comment. Glad you clarified that.  I certainly don't think the problem lies with the Royal Mail. I think it is entirely down to the publishers. |

Thanks, Andy! I sincerely hope - and I am assured - that all the rest of you will get your book in the very near future. As someone pointed out , this is a hectic period for all in Postal businesses, with all Christmas gifts being sent all over the place. Or maybe that is Santa's job..... |

I keep wondering what I said in this book..
I've been back and looked. 7 brief comments. Rather more than I recalled. |

Perhaps Fairport got one copy between them for all the members past and present that contributed? I'm sure you'll get to see it sometime in 2026, Jude. Be patient now... |

I'll be nearly 80 by then. I hope it's got big writing in that case.. |

I had a mail today saying my copy had been sent out to me by Airsure on Dec 7. However it has been returned to them because Airsure does not have a business partner in Norway. A copy has apparently been sent to me by UPS (whatever that is) and is likely to arrive here next week. They have apologized for this. Now fingers crossed it'll be here next week.

I emailed the publisher this afternoon - had a reply a short while ago - seems there'd been a delay in shipping the books to Blighty from the continent (bad weather) - but they expect to be despatching orders "don't worry, you'll get it in time for Christmas".

T-R UPS (United Parcel Service) is the primary shipper here in the US but a big global shipper as well. They are by and large very reliable so I wouldn't worry about them as the carrier, for what its worth. |

Speaking of Clinton, as my copy of FbF hasn't arrived yet, have the later prints of the Sandy Denny book still Fairport on a drummerless tour in jan/feb 1975?
