My order arrived basically the day that they sent me the "Your order has shipped". Just a couple of minutes ago a truck pulled up with my books in it.
Now I have volume 1, and volumes 3a and 3b (just what I wanted)

I requested them back in December and got the nice response saying they would be out of stock until mid January (something about a new edition). I requested them again and haven't gotten a nice response. I'm not getting a warm fuzzy. Maybe they're ignoring me.

In soviet russia, the trees ran out of loggers.
AS an afterthought of this post, is there a nice page in the wiki about how to command the nice manuals already?

I'm reviving this old topic, mostly for excitements sake..
So, for anyone who has been contemplating ordering the books but decided against it - re-evaluate your decision.
I sent my email order in on the 14th and received a personal email back from a nice lady at Intel(Or the hibbert group.)
I woke up this morning around 12:20pm and realized I missed the delivery truck, after playing a bit of phone tag and taking a small drive...
...I received all 5 books, payed for in entirety by Intel.. shipped by Fedex to my considerably rural Ontarian town..
That was fun, much easier on the eyes compared to PDF books..

For some weird reason my order from October last year went through, so now I have two sets of the books... The optomisation reference is still on its way though (somewhere in the air, methinks).

T-12 days: Placed order with Intel for the 5 manuals, plus the optimisation reference.
T-7 days: Recieved confirmation of order from Hibbert group.
T-4 days: Recieved shipping notification from Hibbert group.
T: Intel manuals turn up on doorstep. Fedex air express + Australia post air express.
I've had things take longer to ship from the other side of the city. All in all, no expense spared. But no expense for me. And I love them.

Maybe the reply from Hibbert Group (the company who is sending the books I suppose) did lost in the spam box, but after 6 weeks I don't see any books in my mail
