Just ordered my copy from the US Amazon store! Thank goodness because it looks like there are a limited number of copies too.

I won't be getting mine until the end of the month. But when I do, I might be tempted to send my copy overseas for a certain author to sign, haha!  ;)

Mine has arrived today from Amazon. They chucked it in with some more recent orders loose in a big box so I'm hoping the pages aren't damaged. I will open it later.

avatar_Gothmog the Baryonyx @Gothmog the Baryonyx Word of advice: If you're gonna order "New" condition books from Amazon itself (as opposed to a 3rd party seller), do so w/"This is a gift" turned on. From my experience, it's the only way to make sure that Amazon properly packs/ships said books.

Looks like I have to get myself a copy.  Looks great.

Today, illustrator Adam Larkum decorated the windows of Blackwell's store in Cambridge with characters from The Plesiosaur's Neck!

Well, aren't Cambridge book shoppers lucky! Very cool window art.

My daughter just called to tell me it has arrived! Now I am sitting at work and the book is at home. Life ain´t fair :-\
But now I have something to look forward to ;)

Great Pictures and beautiful arrangement of the other Books in the Store :)

I mailed Dussmann (The Bookstore located in Berlin), because they did not communicate any further regarding the preordered Book. They told me, that they have problems at the moment, getting copies of the Book. I think Amazon and all the really Big Companys got them first. But its okay, since waiting is something to learn.

That's a shame, hopefully you don't have to wait too long.

A few reviews of The Plesiosaur's Neck have started to surface!

"I certainly wasn't expecting a rhyming text when I received this book but wow! It really works and is a terrific read aloud."
"Adam Larkum's illustrations are full of fun, adding to the entertainment of what is a smashing exploration." – Red Reading Hub

"Told in playful, rhyming text backed with scientific hypothesis and fact filled boxes, this book strikes the balance between picture book and non fiction book." – My Shelves Are Full

Finally my copy has arrived!  I am really fond of this book, especially enjoyed the wordplay of the supporting characters :))
