Apparently it’s not shipping yet. When I ordered from Amazon, I got a ship date of July 8 but that never happened. If you go to Barnes & Noble they say it ships in 2-3 days. At the time I order from Amazon, Barnes & Noble said it wasn’t available either so perhaps B&N got a shipment in?

Hmm.....It's shipping, we're getting mails about it from readers....Maybe Amazon is just slow on the trigger? I'll mail one of the readers and ask where they got it.

Well, a quick search on bookcost.com shows that four (4) on-line retailers have it, the cheapest being Walmart. Interesting that BookCost lists Instant Sound Forge as being Released: July 10 which was only two days ago. Amazon now says that it ships in 24 hrs if you go to order it so perhaps the logjam has been broken.

I’ve had Amazon tell me before that my order is still pending when, in fact, its sitting outside my door. Then the next day I get an email that it shipped and I already have it. So Amazon’s order system is not that accurate.

We're looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say about the books. Jeffrey in particular, and me to a degree, worked pretty hard on finding things that we thought people specifically wanted to know how to do. Looking forward to hearing your comments!

Very glad to hear it! We got our Amazon copy two days ago, we order them online too, so we can see what's happening on the shipping side.
Thanks for the update.

I just checked and my order on Amazon.com has gone from Items not yet shipped to Items shipping soon and the order can no longer be cancelled and has a Delivery estimate: Jul 14, 2004 - Jul 16, 2004. I can feel the knowledge getting closer. ;-)

Sound Forge @ Walmart

This is Jeffrey Fisher, author of the book. He's a professor of Digital Media at DuPage College in Illinois. Not only a Sound Forge freak, but also an ACID and Vegas geek.
We''ve just finished a new "Instant Vegas 5" book that will be out in a few months. Project and task-based book, sells for same price as the Sound Forge book.
You can get the
here if you're interested. For $15.00, it's a hard deal to pass up.

Yea, I’m not preordering any more books from Amazon,com. I have a Walmart about 20 minutes from my house. I could have driven down and picked the darn thing up cheaper and had it in my hands. I’m still waiting for mine to ship from Amazon and I can’t even cancel it anymore cuz’ it’s in this “soon to ship” limbo state. (on-line ordering... Bah, Humbug! You think this web stuff will every catch on?)

Jeffery does look good in his Sony T-shirt though. ;-)
