Tom Clare - "Prehistoric Monuments of the Lake District"

I ordered this book back in april, it was due for release late april or may, up until today i had received a couple of emails from amazon saying the release date had been put back, then back again...today i received a email from amazon telling me they could not fill my order, it seems there has been a problem with the book!

does anyone know if the book has been pulled or any other reason for it not being released?

cheers

Not yet published. Perhaps drop Tempus a line and ask them.

He taught me for a module called 'Introduction to Archaeology' when I was studying Earth Science at John Moores. I got 70odd % in the exam which was the best mark I ever got there.
I think I annoyed him because I'd been to the Pollisher and he didn't know where it was. Lovely man though...

Has anybody got any news on this book, it should have been published by now?

For those interested I have heard from the people at Tempus that the book was published in September, it's just that the website hasn't been updated yet.

Copy arrived this morning.
Looks good, although just scanning through I kept seeing references to KART, it took me a while to figure that one out - King Arthur's Round Table .

The book is now out. It is both useful and strange - useful, because you can now find lots of great prehistoric sites in Cumbria (not just the Lake District), strange...because it claims to link sites with landscapes, yet there's a concentration on site typology, features and dimensions, hardly a landscape map in site (oops!) And a list of radiocarbon dates which hardly scratches the surface of Cumbrian archaeological and landscape dates

What d'you think?
