I just received an email from Amazon concerning my order for both Beedle the Bard books. Here is what it said:

We are pleased to inform you that we are now offering Release-Date Delivery for this book. If you update your shipping method from “Super Saver Shipping” to “Standard Shipping” by November 25, 2008, we will deliver the book on Thursday, December 4, 2008. This special delivery option is available to our customers for $3.99 (the same cost as Standard shipping).

We realize that many of our customers are huge J.K Rowling fans, and we’re happy to offer Release-Date Delivery to get this title to you even faster. If you don’t change your shipping options, you should expect to receive your order by the estimated delivery date provided when your order was placed.

So if you want your book on Dec. 4th go do this!
