Starting to think I will never get this... Amazon finally messaged me to say it was on its way and would arrive on Friday 16 Dec. It still says it is arriving on Friday 16 Dec...
Canada Post say they don't know where the package is but will email me when they have an update. Oh, great.
Meanwhile, I ordered a copy for my nephew in England from amazon.co.uk. Put the order in on Tuesday and it arrived on Thursday.

Amazon.ca seems to be a pretty grim way of ordering anything, from what I have seen and heard. From prolong delivery times* to items actually not being offered for sale....Donald Trump notwithstanding, I still like livin' in the USA! _______________ * I've often joked that things arrive from Amazon almost before I order them!!

I ordered an air mattress at around 12:00PM or so one day, and it arrived
before 7:00PM that evening.

My two copies finally arrived here. thankfully. One is going to be a present, so fortunately no-one will be going empty-handed now.
My word, though, it looks like it will take a long while to finish colouring the book!!

I still haven't gotten one yet. I'm hoping the wife caught on to my not-subtle-at-all hints. If not, maybe they'll still be available on Amazon after the holidays and I'll spend some Christmas dough on them.

Just finished reading STOWAWAY. What a fun little story! Great illustrations (naturally). The depth achieved on many of the pages is fantastic to gaze into.

My amazon.ca pre-order finally shipped today! Looking forward to reading it amd maybe colouring it. I'm not much of a colourer but I may not be able to resist. What are you all colouring with? Markers? If so, what kind? Pencil crayons? Water colours?

I've yet to decide.
The options immediately available to hand are some PITT brush pens, a limited selection of pastels or watercolours. I think I'll mix it up.
I'll try a page with the PITTs, but I feel watercolours might suit it best, perhaps augmented with some coloured pencils.

I wonder how variants on "Haven't got mine yet" are contributing to this thread?
