Accordingly to Amazon, the estimated delivery date should be on the 12th May 2009, but I guess Amazon overestimated by a lot as I received it in my letterbox today on the 16th April 2009. It took less than 2 weeks to reach me! Nice job Amazon.

After my book is shipped, it listed on the site that it will arrived on the 18th December 2007 and it really did, in fact it came early in the morning at about 10am. Here are some pictures:



In fact, I have already browse/read through the entire book and I find it quite useful especially the WordPress MU part as I am not familiar with it. I always wonder what is the difference between /wp-content/mu-plugins/ and /wp-content/plugins/ when I extracted the zip, but after reading the book, I got my answer.

Kudos to Lisa for a job well done on the book (now I know you visit my site) =D

Amazon.com
Book: USD$16.49
Shipping: USD$9.98
Total: USD$26.47
Total: SGD$38.38 (USD$26.47 x 1.45)

Local Bookstore: Popular/PageOne
Book: SGD$39.90
Tax: 7%
Total: SGD$42.69

Local Bookstore: Kinokuniya
Book: SGD$42.00

I made a saving of SGD$3.62, even though it is quite insignificant, it is still money. And the time taken for the book to get delivered to me (Amazon)/waiting for the book to arrive (Local Bookstore) is about the same.

Go: WordPress for Dummies @ Amazon.com
