Second Edition and the new Advanced book.

#41 I ordered mine Sept 5th as well and it shipped out yesterday also, Its estimated to be here tomorrow... from Amazon, gotta love tracking

#42 Mark,
That is how I know my order hasn't shipped :-) I't still showing not shipped and estimated to ship August 2nd. It sounds like my order has gotten lost on their system.

I think I shall send a friendly inquiring email to them.

#43 My copy shipped today from Amazon via Prime Overnight; I should have it in my paws tomorrow around noon *wrings hands greedily*. :-)

#44 Well, I emailed amazon, and they have now updated my order placed july 20th to ship on September 15th. They upgraded my shipping to two day for free. Needless to say my future business will go to B&N or some other retailer.

Edit

It shipped! Don't know what happened but someone over there fixed the problem.

#45 I'm reading it now...so far so good.

#46 Argh, it takes a month to ship to Australia. It did this with the last book too. Oh well. Can't wait for this one, cos I really loved the old one. Thanks for writing these great books, they're really worth the 70AUD each lol =)

#47 @Chollly, I may have helped, my July20 preorder had not arrived, and I sent Amazon.com an email explaining....and they returned:

Quote:Thanks for writing to Amazon.com.

"Advanced 3D Game Programming All in One (Paperback)" has proven to
be a very popular item.

We have many customer orders for this item, and we've just begun
receiving copies from our suppliers. We are filling orders as
quickly as we can on a first-come, first-served basis.

Understanding your concern, I have also upgraded the shipping method
of this order to Two day shipping at no additional cost.

The revised estimated delivery date for this order is September 12,
2005. On the date of shipment, we'll send you an e-mail message
confirming the date, contents, and method of your shipment.

yeah, first come, first served....sounds as if their backlogged preorders didn't get updated and we were left in the cold...?!?

#48 Yeah, definately seems like that Rex, I ordered both books together last Monday and got them Thursday.


Seems a new forum for the new advanced book may also be a good idea :)

#49 I got mine and I like it since this IS a book about game programming (as opposed to the first book) :)

just found one little error, page 95, example code at the top:

%product = MatrixMultiply(%v1,%v2);

-there are no def. of local variables named v1 or v2, so if I understand correctly, it should be:

%product = MatrixMultiply(%matrixA,%,matrixB);

/Thomas

#50 Or even

%product = MatrixMultiply(%matrixA, %matrixB);

Sorry I'm a perfectionist about typos =)
