Amazon has been out of Carb Wars for some time now, thanks to a snafu at the fulfilment center. A second printing is now finished and a shipment of books went out to them last Wednesday. It should be delivered in the next day or so. However, the Carb Wars page on Amazon.com still says it takes 1 to 2 months to get a copy and warns that if you order one, it will not arrive in time for Christmas. I hope that message will disappear as soon as the back orders are filled, but there are alternatives. Any major bookstore should be able to order it for you from Ingram and The Cookbook Marketplace still has books. Better yet, they are offering a terrific discount on all their titles. Here is the sale notice from their site:

I ordered my copy last week and was expecting a long wait but was delighted yesterday to receive and email from amazon that my copy had been shipped. I am checking my mail box.
