Just as an update: I called them last week, and was told that they were trying to get the last of the subscribers' copies out by the weekend. Whether they were able to or not, I do not know, but from what they said, they should all be out at least by now....

Update: Mine came today; just got back from my early shift at work, and it was waiting on the doorstep.

And a clarification: when I called, I did not give my name; only stated that I was one who had subscribed, and asked if they had been sent out. So -- barring their checking the caller ID and responding by sending the package immediately -- I don't think this is a case of "the squeaky wheel"....

(Meaning: they do seem to be getting them out, and others should receive theirs soon.)

I hope so. I'm 60 next month and I was a mere child of 53 when I took out the subscription. I never dreamt my bus-pass would arrive before this series was complete.

I have now received mine. This should probably mean that all subscribers now have their copies.

I am not quite sure what Sidney-Fryer is driving at here (p 231; emphasis mine):

It is probably safe to say that, if his very first complete sexual experience with a human female did not occur precisely when he was fifteen, then it must have happened sometime between his eleventh and fifteenth years.

My copy has crossed the pond (I live in France). Glad to have at last the complete series.
Thanks to Scott and Ron for the excellent editorial work.

Day 2498
Batbint is with me at last (at least it beat the bus-pass). Fear Dunn is right to extend his thanks to Scott and Ron for all their work, a sentiment which I echo. However I still intend never to buy anything else from NSB.

This (Dutch) subscriber is still bintless. I can't believe you beat me to it, Asshurbanipal. Seven years! Aargh!

Batbint is here! Batbint is here! And February's not even out! Callooh, callay!

I am so-o-o glad to be able to finally put any and all thoughts of NSB behind me forever. I feel as if I am coming out of an abusive relationship...

Hello Avoosl Wuthoqquan
I'm glad your ordeal is over. Look's like you're the last turkey in the shop, but, as you say, it's time to move on...
NSB deserve ten out of ten for their vision of this definitive series of CAS (also William Hope Hodgson), but only one out of ten for effort and nothing at all for customer relations. They might be better off running a hot-dog stand. Signing off.

Still not arrived here...

Same here, but as far as mail from the US is concerned, Sweden is the posterior of nowhere...

It appears that the winner of the "He Who Got Their's Last" award has not yet been determined.

My Bat Headed Bint finally turned up today, so I guess I'm not quite the last...

No, that'd be me. Next week, according to the latest estimate. ;)
