I've had orders shipped by Amazon around midnight that have turned up next day.

It does say “arriving by 11pm”, normally it says 8 or 9

Different to my experiences then.

I generally wake up to two emails. The first saying your order has been shipped (usually timed very late at night) and the second saying your order is out for delivery. Never says any approx delivery times on them.

That's the beauty of Prime eh?

Yeah, last few items I’ve had delivered via Prime have left Sheffield at around 11am, I assume that’s the closest distribution centre to me, I can usually track them all the way here too

I’m in no rush anyway, I’ve got a full afternoon and evening of lessons today so I won’t get to start it until tonight

I no longer have my book.

I took my mum to the hospital this morning for a six monthly chat with a specialist and when we got back for a quick cuppa it was behind the door. Mum being nosey asked what it was then said it would make a nice Christmas gift. I asked her to check the number and the autograph were present and correct, and now it's gone. Not to be seen until Christmas Day.

I now know i'm getting something awesome this Christmas.

Many agree that it was the quality of Hammer’s sets that distinguished them from their rivals as their ornate castle interiors with their bold exteriors gave the impression the films had much bigger budgets than they had. Production designer Bernard Robinson and his art director Don Mingaye steered the art department at Hammer’s home at Bray Studios from 1956 to 1966 and, when Robinson finally left Hammer in 1969, Scott MacGregor took over the department for their Elstree and Pinewood based programmes from 1969-73. From The Quatermass Xperiment (1954) to To the Devil a Daughter (1975) we take a film by film look at the work of the art department including the mattes and models provided by the SPFX team that enhanced the sets and added to the art department’s vision.
360 sumptuous colour pages
Signed and numbered collector’s edition limited to only 700 copies.
Largest collection of Bernard Robinson/Don Mingaye’s original drafted designs (floor plans and elevations) ever printed in a single publication, many restored for the first time.
Largest collection of Scott MacGregor’s concept design set paintings ever printed in a single publication, many colour ones published for the first time and full paged.
Largest collection of schedules, call sheets and progress reports ever published and discussed showing the designation of sets on stages and the order they were used.
Rare and exclusive photos of the capsizing of the ship in The Devil Ship Pirates, some published for the first time.

Only available direct from Wayne.

There don't seem to be any new movie books coming out for this Christmas.

The movie art of Graham Humphreys looks okay but there are only 176 or so pages.

Has anyone got that Lost Harryhausen book? Is that any good?

Any recommendations?

I'm in the market for suggestions too Since we're mid buying an apartment and have foolishly also booked a holiday to Japan in the 2nd week of January we decided to just get each other one Christmas gift each so I think I'd like a nice book related to cult and/or horror.
