Art of The Shadow Chronicles Delayed?

Art of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles book was meant to be released on June 15th, but I just got an e-mail from amazon saying otherwise...

"Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below has
changed, and we need to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:

Tommy Yune (Author), Carl Macek (Foreword) "The Art of Robotech:
The Shadow Chronicles" [Paperback]
Estimated arrival date: 09/07/2007 - 09/08/2007"


I wonder what's going on. The company showed off the book at a convention and Harmony Gold got an official release date. This may just be an error on amazon's part, but I doubt it. At least we know delays and Robotech go hand in hand nowadays. Ah well...

UPDATE: The publisher of the Artbook has made an entry in their blog addressing the confusion. The book will be released by the end of June. Read it here: http://stonebridgepress.blogspot.com/2007/06/dont-fret-robotech-fans.html

Yeah. Let's just shrug it off and never get pissed-off at Harmony Gold to the point of actually ignoring their crap. If you're a Robotech fan and, after all of this junk, you're STILL gonna buy this art book, you need to develop a backbone so that you can take a stand for once.

Well, it's definitely a shame if the book has been delayed AGAIN for no apparent reason, but whatever. I can wait. I do find it funny, though, that people who weren't likely to buy the book ANYWAY are snickering about the book being delayed. You guys hate Shadow Chronicles anyway (ESPECIALLY the artwork and animation), so why do you care if an artbook based on the movie gets delayed? That's money you weren't going to spend in any event.

Because it's amusing to see how so-called die-hard Robotech fans take it up the butt with all this professional mishandling yet refuse to stand-up and say "WTF!" by choosing to not buy the product based on principle.

If you check the latest update, it seems that it will come out at the end of the month. Some confusion between the publishers and retailers seemingly. We'll see.

Correct me if i am wrong. But whenever something is released later then its release date it is a delay..

So no matter is it a one day delay, 2 weeks delay , or 2 months delay it is a DELAY...

It is now June 16... and it is not relased,...So it is delayed..

And a proper qualification would be

The Art of shadow chronicles DELAYED after all.......
