Same. Although I nearly thought I was scammed when I saw the charge on my credit card because I had completely forgotten about it. That and the charge comes from AWL*PEARSON. But then I got an email telling me it shipped, I put 2 and 2 together, then the book arrived a whole day earlier than estimated.

I pre-ordered using MS Press as well - you get the ebooks/PDF for free (instant download while you wait for the dead tree version to arrive) when you order the hard copy and ebook bundle.

Just did the same, seems they offer international shipping too. It does cost $9 though (but hey, at least I won't have to wait until Nov 24th).
