I'm looking for help with this.

4 Months ago I ordered several books at amazon uk, including:
-* L. Colin Wilson, Luath Scots Language Learner*
and
- the accompanying *double CD.*

Although at the amazon website everything was reportedly in stock, my whole
order was plugged for more than 2 months, till they finally gave up waiting
for the double CD.
So I got the book in the mail, without CDs at the end of october.

On Nov. 1th (a dead day in Belgium) I was in London and checked in some
bookshops (The Waterstones on Picadilly and in Oxford St., the Borders in
Oxford St. and in Charing Cross St., the Blackwell in Charing Cross St.). I
have seen the book in 3 of the 5 shops, but *the CDs nowhere*.

I'm giving up waiting for a very late delivery from amazon uk.
Does anybody have a clue?

Regards,
Roger

PS. Waterstones has also a shop downtown Brussels (Anspach Bvd: a 2 floor
retail store with books in English only; no engineering science though). The
UK customer card also works in Brussels for earning points

Hi, Roger!

Did you try Luath Press itself (
http://www.luath.co.uk/acatalog/Luath_Scots_Language_Learner.html)?

I got the whole shebang from them, admittedly soon after publication.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron

Hier ist der "Wörterwanderung"-Adventskalender 2007 des Goethe-Instituts
zu finden.

Jeden Tag gibt es kleine Geschichten zu Wörtern, die aus dem Deutschen in
andere Sprachen "ausgewandert" sind.

Thanks Gabriele - helps my etymology and my German!
