Did anyone get this yet? It was supposed to ship today and no longer appears on the prepub page.
George! Peace! I'm expecting it yet myself.
However, a couple of days ago some of my orders came overnight and I found them the next morning! c'est la vie!
*smile*
I'm Eastern Standard Time.
Have not gotten it yet here either. It does seem like the orders actually ship late that night or early the next morning. This past weekend I got 2 orders on Saturday...
I'm still waiting, too. I've had to wait until the day after shipping for several things in the past month.
We found a minor issue with this one late in the afternoon as we were doing final testing. We have fixed the issue, and ou should expect to receive it first thing in the morning. We apologize for the delay.
Oh well, "A wandering Aramean was my ancestor ..." I suppose he'll have to wander for another day.

George what does this mean? Help!
Eshmoun à UgaritSi l’on passe maintenant au IIe millénaire, et plus précisément à Ugarit à la fin du Bronze Récent, la situation se présente dans les termes suivants.La présence d’Eshmoun ou, de toute façon, d’un prédécesseur ugaritique du même nom avait été suggérée il y a quelques années par l’attestation du terme šmn dans un rituel alphabétique provenant des archives de Ras Ibn Hani.19 Sur la base de cette attestation l’on avait par conséquent reconsidéré deux autres textes rituels connus depuis longtemps, c’est-à-dire KTU 1.41:[45] e, KTU 1.87:50 où, au lieu du terme homographe šmn ‘huile’, on aurait pu théoriquement lire le théonyme šmn (ici aussi sans aleph prosthétique) comme destinataire d’offrandes. Cette hypothèse, considérée favorablement par divers auteurs parmi lesquels moi-même, doit elle aussi être réévaluée et approfondie. Il convient de réexaminer les passages concernés.Xella, P. (2001).

translate.google.com comes up with this:
Eshmoun at UgaritTurning now to the second millennium, and more specifically Ugarit at the end of Late Bronze Age, the situation is as follows.The presence of Eshmoun or, anyway, Ugaritic a predecessor of the same name had been suggested some years ago by the attestation of the term in a ritual smn alphabetically from the archives of Ras Ibn Hani.19 Based on This certificate had been thus reconsidered two other ritual texts long known, that is to say KTU 1.41: [45] e, KTU 1.87:50 where instead of the term homograph smn oil ', we would could theoretically read theonym SMN (again without prosthetic aleph) as a recipient of offerings. This hypothesis, viewed favorably by various authors including myself, must also be reassessed and depth. It should review the relevant passages.
Not too bad, given the technical nature of the topic. One might wish that the hatchek on the 's' signifying the shin consonant would be preserved, but that is a quibble.
Many thanks, google comes to the rescue. I need to remember that for next time.
