Whats wrong with Amazon? First of all, Amazon Germany dont ship "Spring in Action" yet, even its out as i heard it. Then i ordered "Pro Spring" from Apress and even this book has an unbelivable delivery time of 3 weeks.
Amazon USA is not much better, Spring in Action delivers in 1-3 months (!) and Pro Spring in 2-4 weeks, but when i add international shipping time, it makes no sense for me to order there.
I also checked another big german online retailer with nearly the same results. How many books did the publishers print in their first pressing?? 10?
I just saw that you can also buy ebooks at Manning, perhaps i should go this route. Its cheaper and faster to get, but i am somehow a book freak and hate printed PDFs on my desk. Hard decission.
