Order placed for 3 books on December 6th. Email confirmation states that my order will be with me in 4 - 9 working days. I get an email on the 17th saying that only 2 of my books are being sent ( which arrived today ) and the other one won't be received until the new year. This was a Christmas present and it's too late to find the book elsewhere. :-( Had I known on December 6th that there was going to be a delay I would have sourced the missing book elsewhere. I already had to get volume 6 from somewhere else anyway as you were out of stock so I'm sure I could have purchased volume 8 from the same place. So please can you keep customers informed in future if there are going to be delays with orders. Thank you. I look forward to receiving the third book soon. Regards Claire Walter
