Say what you like about Amazon
But...I got a notice, an email on Friday the 27th September that they had dispatched my order of The Pagan Lord by Bernard Cornwell in hardback (not the 'a novel' nonsense version you see here. The good and proper original. I think I'm old enough to figure out it's a novel all by my self). It arrived here in Denmark, Monday morning. I started reading it Monday afternoon.
Can't say fairer than that.
