Is the Encyclopedia of Gold Coins (Garrett/Guth) now available?

I've been literally counting the days until the book is released. This book, along with the new Winter New Orleans gold book, are probably the two most important numismatic references to be issued this year. I am sitting here with credit card in hand, ready to order the Encyclopedia. Does anyone know if it is really available now, or will my hopes be dashed if I call Whitman?

I bet if you called Whitman they could give you a better answer than anyone here.

Wierd...I thought I already had that book. Big red book with tons of prints and stories and an embossed gold 20 St. G. obv. on the front???

I suppose you will beat me to the book review too?

Nah, but I promise to post to your book review thread with my independent opinions.

Just ordered it from their website. Thanks, Longacre!

I received an e-mail telling me my order shipped last Wednesday... but all I received was a complimentary inventory booklet.

I will be stalking the mailman/mail lady/letter carrier until she delivers!
