                Just for those ordering through Amazon, it looks like this book is back ordered, at least here in Canada.

                  I actually purchased from Wisdom themselves, a digital copy, cause it will be much easier to reference text, copy-paste, quote, etc... and suprinsingly, it was cheaper than from Amazon
                  Thanks for the heads up

                    I considered that but years of trying to like digital books I finally gave in to the fact that I just prefer holding a physical book in my hands.

                    If the book doesn’t arrive in time I’ll cancel the order and go electronic. I am sure Jeff Bezos is treating my request as a priority

                                Ordered and purchased a digital copy of the book.
                                (Shipping for a printed book costs three times as much as the book itself.)

                                I am fully prepared and eager to delve into the depths of the Lotus Sutra's stories.
