It sounds to me like the American Fisheries Society was bombarded with
orders, and it overwhelmed them. I for one do not order books from them
simply due to the prices of some of the books. However, I did order
Fishes of Virginia, as well as a couple of other books, and got them
within a couple of weeks (I ordered about a week after the original
posting that they were having the sale). I have since ordered again
(different books) about three weeks ago, and have yet to receive
anything!
I am assuming the holiday shipping rush is the reason. After the
holidays I will be calling them if I don't receive my second order
(Martin, I know what it's like to be P.O.d).
