That's twice in a row he's failed us. Something is wrong.
Atlas (John) has taken to stagger shipping the books so that, I presume, the international orders get shipped first and the books that have to move the few feet from the Atlas games side of the warehouse to the Game store side of the warehouse get "shipped" last.
Also two of the last three times I've preordered an Ars Magica book from my local game store they've messed it up and not called me when it came in. (Not that this would have made any difference if the book came in this past week as I was out of town and would have been unable to pick it up anyway).
edit : I stopped by this morning (7/12) and my games store (the source comics and games) has not yet received the book.
You... can't just tell us that and then walk away! 
Esdevium games in England will be shipping to local shops this week so should be available in England Wednesday/thursday
Damn, damn and curse you all! Now I need to tell people to restrain me from abandoning my PhD Viva in favour of scouring local shops for RoP:M. You're putting my career in jeopardy, here!
Sorry, I've only briefly skimmed it. I don't seem to be able to make the time to dive into new gaming books like I used to do when I was younger.
If only I didn't have this silly full-time job!

OK, I run a shop here in California. I get daily emails from my distributors telling me what just hit their warehouses. None of them have mentioned getting RoP: Magic.
However, I just checked their online inventory and they have it...
Grrr... I guess I'll try to order them Monday...
(My guess is that the books travel by ground from the Atlas Games warehouse and it just took longer to make it all the way out to the west coast. I'll probably be told that it's here on Monday morning... If you haven't seen it in your local stores, check back in a couple days!)

Work is only 8 hours a day. What about the 16 others? We want a report!
One wonders if Atlas Games will be asking the team of Link and Snead--authors of both the original and revised versions of "Faeries"--for contributions to "Realms of Power: Faerie". I might disagree with them on some points, but, overall, they were responsible for one of the very best treatments of Faerie in any RPG.
I'm not in a position to know but I doubt it. Link and Snead are, to the best of my knowledge, years out of touch with the Ars Magica mechanics. I'd rather see it written by folks who are more familiar with the present incarnation of the game.
Finally, I've ordered the book from Orc's Nest in London. 
My preciousss.

Ah, I see. Thank you. As you're one of the authors, I realise that you can't say anything about the contents. I can only hope that you'll give consideration to the established canon and the ideas in the earlier editions of "Faeries".
You're welcome. 
I do my best, but I must invoke my temporal parma and warn you that in order for Atlas to have enough time to prepare the books for printing and distribution, the authors usually have to be finished with their part before it is ever actually announced.
I liked the earlier editions of Faeries. They were good books, very inspirational. Also, Faerie Stories, which I thought was awesome. Core Fifth Edition changed faeries a bit from Fourth Edition, so a lot of it isn't as applicable any more, but I still run one adventure ("The Short Way Home") at conventions on occasion.
Good to hear. I enjoyed the Merinita entry in "Houses of Hermes: Mystery Cults".
"Faerie Stories" is probably my favourite adventure supplement for "Ars Magica". It has the delightful feel of Faerie rendered exceptionally well. I wish that "The Lion and the Lily" had made more direct references to the region of Brittany described in the sourcebook. For instance, the classification of any of the Vis sources more than sesiene (sp?) distance from the Covenant.
GRRRRRR!!! 
My FLGS called to tell me they had my copy, but today I had to leave from work later so by the time I got there, they would have already been closed. I'll have to try to leave earlier tomorrow evening.
You've got my sympathy. I know the books have been in the warehouse for over two weeks but they still haven't yet showed up in my local store.
In my enthusiastic rush to place an order for the book, I missed the obvious, and failed to type in my address. So the shop e-mailed me today and asked me where to send it. So it got a day or so delayed. Doh! 
lol

UPS says mine will be here tomorrow. I can't wait. Of course, after all the traffic regarding the Realm of Magic, I went home and read the final draft again, so I'm really just looking forward to seeing the art.
PS. Yes, I know I'm evil.
I concur. You are.
