Thank you, everyone. Looks like there must have been a delay. I had in mind from earlier this year that Amazon UK had always said May, so I was expecting some new chatter around this time in April and it's seemed very quiet. Guess I'm over-eager! I will have to use Amazon but wish there was a better way to ensure getting a copy in pristine condition.
