Picked mine up from Waterstones today. Only had a quick flick through so far but looks excellent, some amazing shots in there

I think you might need to go into hiding  

My son has ordered it for me as an Xmas present, meant to be a surprise. Beginning to think that was a wrong move on my part to hint for it. Now it will be fake surprise face on Xmas morning!

especially if the tickets inside have a best claim before date  .... ( they aren't really inside   )

I preordered mine from Waterstones and it still says processing, those who have theirs did you pay for next day delivery?

I just had an email from Waterstones about 5 mins ago saying it'd been shipped I paid for the UK courier delivery and it's supposed to arrive tomorrow

I can imagine how gutted I would have been if I had received the book and didn't get a ticket for next year. It is actually better than I thought it would be

That was always my concern, I ordered it imagining how devastating it would be to have it plop onto the doormat if I was ticketless.

I didn't pre order when the signed ones were available in case I didn't get tickets - I didn't - I then pre-ordered it anyway as it has a small shot of winning them. The irony. 

@DareToDibble mine is also in Yorkshire but although says 48 hours it's predicted on Royal Mail tracker to be here tomorrow. I only had free delivery.

I wonder if we get any Efest members in it ... there are lots of photos ...im up to 1985 so no chance of me yet

This is exactly why I didn't order it and still haven't. 

Not sure when to take the plunge - maybe not even until after next years festival.

I had free delivery, too. Weirdly mine doesn’t have a predicted delivery day, odd ?  

[Avalon_Fields]

Frustrated mine hasn’t arrived yet, but slightly more optimistic of winning tickets as no one has so far. The odds must have improved from 500/1 to 400/1. Disappointed I’d have to cancel my own ticket, was hoping if I won I could allocate the two to others, so in essence I can only win one ticket.

I’m getting onto the trade descriptions people....

No-one knows if they have won yet. A draw will be done some time on the 31st October onwards.

Ah, doesn’t bode well for me getting it tomorrow then as I have the top 2 lines but not the “and it’s on it’s way...” part.

Will have to learn the art of patience and wait!

I cane here for a review. Does a description of what is on the first 9 pages count as a review? I suppose it does.

Can you please take pics of each page so i can read it myself?
