Politics Of Breastfeeding?

Has it actually been published yet? I'm sure it was meant to be published last September.

I'm still waiting for my copy from Amazon - ordered in about Nov! In fact I started a thread about it a few weeks ago. I'll try and find it!

Mine is on order. Got an email from Amazon saying the expected delivery date will be 2 Apr - 17 Apr, but then got another email a few days ago which was a bit garbled and had no mention of actual dates but seemed to be apologising for the date being pushed back again.

MamaHobgoblin · 06/04/2009 21:37

God, I've had that on backorder forever! Is it really out now? In which case, why haven't !&*?£! Amazon billed me and sent it?!

JulesJules · 06/04/2009 21:44

God knows what is going on with this. I've just had another email from Amazon asking if I still wanted it because it is still not available. No hint of an actual date that it will be available either.

Sorry, but the book has been delayed for various reasons, but it has now gone to press and we are expecting stock in the week beginning April 20th. Amazon, and other suppliers like the NCT, LaLeche League and Baby Milk Action should be receiving stock a few days later and will fulfill your orders then.
I really hope you will all enjoy the book and hope you will think it was worth the wait!
All the best,

You can hear Gabrielle Palmer speak in person and get her to sign your book at our ABM conference in June.

Details here

Just bumping this as 20 April has been and gone... any successful delivery reports?

BCLass · 24/04/2009 20:28

Not here - still awaitng Mr Postman every morning with an excited leap of heart, only to be disappointed when it's bills.

Surely next week??

The book came in from the printers today (Tuesday) - looks great! - to the wholesalers tomorrow, so not long now until your orders are fulfilled.

Brilliant! Thank you for the update!

Can I be nosy and ask why it's taken so long?

Oh great! I just posted a new thread about this, forgot about this one...

pinterandmartin · 30/04/2009 13:33

It was delayed as the revisions and updates were substantial, and Gabrielle Palmer wanted to include things like the recent Chinese formula milk scandal. I am very pleased with the way it turned out - let us know what you think. There is a Facebook page for it: www.facebook.com/pages/The-Politics-of-Breastfeeding/48195053271?ref=ts

pinterandmartin · 30/04/2009 13:39

By the way, you can also of course buy copies from us directly, but if you've already ordered from people like Baby Milk Action, the NCT and La Leche League, I think it would be best to wait for them to deliver to you rather than cancel!

Just got an email from Amazon today saying they expect it to be delivered between 26 May and 6 June

I do find Amazon quite generous on their delivery estimates, they usually come before they say or towards the beginning of the period. Only a week to go!
