Yep. Mine arrived today too but it has been a long day with no chance to look at it. I'm tired and cold now so I'm going to take it to bed and browse from under the duvet.

Got my email @ last. It's coming this afternoon, and I have to cancel a Doctors appointment to be in. Still, it's coming. You worry when someone has your money, like that.  Wink

Yes they are, I received my email from Essential Works this morning and according to tracking should be here twixt 3 and 4pm. As Jim's arrived on time I shall try to be in! Think they should try twice for delivery, but as you've no email you won't have a tracking code.

Email arrived this morning, and it should be delivered (it says) between 11:57 and 12:57 - how's that for accuracy?  I think I'd have just said 12 and 1!

Arrived! Grin  Just about at 11:57 too.  With great self-control I have passed it on to be wrapped up for Christmas without doing more than giving a quick glance at the cover and not removing the shrink-wrapping...

Still no email here, but what some people have said makes me wonder if I deleted it from 'junk'. I get so much.


It was only by chance I fished it from the Junk folder. Look out for:

"Your order from Essential Works‏" from shop@essentialworks.co.uk


Thanks for the tip.  My email just in and diverted to Spam folder too!   Delivery due tomorrow apparently!  Smiley

Just found mine by the back door. Like Will S, I will pass it on to Mrs. Gouty for Xmas wrapping. Haven't even opened the packaging - why can't I exercise this level of self-control when walking past the pub??

Just had another follow up email to say I should have it in the next couple of hours. It may be a bit later than anticipated, but they seem to be taking care to follow up each individual whinge with a personal email. I had a whine on their Bookface page and received a  reassuring email referring to it.

Shite. It's arrived with corner damaged. I feared as much when I felt it rattling around inside the carton. Sloppy packaging. Have emailed asking for a replacement. Ship. Ha'pworth. Tar.  Angry Angry Angry Very annoyed.

Nope. No time.

My first impressions however are that it is a lovely tactile thing to hold and it smells wonderful.

It is also embarassingly pleasing to see one's own name printed in the Role of Honour even though this really has no significance at all.

Finally, the author's acknowledgements at the front of the book imply that he was indeed nominated for the job by the band, thus vindicating my previously mentioned suspicions about the nature of the book. Not that I am one to say I told you so.  Wink
