I known we haven't reached the 28th day yet, but was wondering if anyone has received their's yet?
I have just recieved an email saying they had a lot of requests and are currently working through them and my book would arrive soon.
It also contained links to a pdf and kindle version of the book. Had a look at it then deleted it.0 -

Hi everyone,
The publisher of the book has gotten in touch with the following message. Please remember that third party views are not the views of MSE.
I just found the link to our DIY book promotion here. While I'm really sorry that we couldn't give everybody the book that they requested, we made it clear in the terms and conditions that "Promotion is strictly subject to availability."
Based on previous Daily Star campaigns we were told to expect 300-500 signups. We got 16000 instead, and were just not prepared for such a volume of requests. Our agreement was for a maximum of 2000 books. We've placed an order for a new set of books to be printed. Unfortunately the printers have been shockingly unreliable. They’ve promised the books for the past eight weeks now and still no books.
Our apologies, again, for the delay, and for not being able to send all a free copy of the book to all those who wished to receive it.
