Sorry carolbeck, Welcome (back) to the Serif Affinity forums. Was your order to the same zip/postcode as the billing zip/postcode? We have had some delays for some users and we are just ironing out a few teething problems with our brand new shop. Most orders from the last 2 days where that issue caused a 'pending' order have been processed today. The rest will be processed on Monday.

RowdyMonkey Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thanks for the reply! Yep, same postcode used for billing/delivery/credit card etc. Happy to share order number if it would help identify any issues. Looking forward to receiving the book in due course!

peter Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Have to love insomnia, working my way through the Affinity Designer Workbook, picking up little things that I hadn't noticed before and finally understanding the purpose of artboards! I've designed three colourways of the logo for my new imaginary company and I am waiting for my imaginary client to choose one and pay me some imaginary money. Imagine is the key word with this new book, it banishes the 'white page" syndrome and feeds my imagination. I Imagine you're well chuffed!

Which explains one strange thing I went to scan my copy into LibraryThings (I was going to say it is my Friday read this week) but it scanned an unrecognisable ISBN - I checked and the sticker over the ISBN on the back of the book was all letters, not numbers. I might still list it as my Friday Read though :D Edit; Job Done :ph34r: Quote MacBook Pro 11,2, Intel i7 4 core, 8Gb RAM, Graphics Intel Iris Pro. iPad Pro 11.4, 256Gb, 10.5 Retina, A10X Fusion chip, Apple pencil Desktop upgraded to Win10 64-bit, Intel i5 quad core, 8Gb RAM, NVIDIA GefORCE GT730 The Win-10 laptop is on permanent loan to my daughter......

Fahad Javed Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I wish more countries were added to the list of shipping countries for buying this Workbook. I wish there was a way to buy the 'PDF,Kindle and epub' versions of the Affinity Designer Workbook from Affinity directly.From the sample content,its looking really promising.

Sunset Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 So why are we seeing it here? I think it's just their system, I notice that they never remove obscure old books, either, even though the one copy they had was sold a few years ago, they just keep it there ad infinitum as currently unavailable. :( Quote MacBook Pro 11,2, Intel i7 4 core, 8Gb RAM, Graphics Intel Iris Pro. iPad Pro 11.4, 256Gb, 10.5 Retina, A10X Fusion chip, Apple pencil Desktop upgraded to Win10 64-bit, Intel i5 quad core, 8Gb RAM, NVIDIA GefORCE GT730 The Win-10 laptop is on permanent loan to my daughter......

Sunset Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Yes, but ... this isn't an old book that they no longer sell, it's a new book that they're apparently not going to be selling! I agree entirely, but because they deliver it, it is in their system and therefore they "know about it" - and they link their book lists with libraries so that information and cover pictures can be shared, so I think it's just how it works. You disclose to Amazon that a book exists and they log it, in effect. peter, Patrick Connor and Alfred 3 Quote MacBook Pro 11,2, Intel i7 4 core, 8Gb RAM, Graphics Intel Iris Pro. iPad Pro 11.4, 256Gb, 10.5 Retina, A10X Fusion chip, Apple pencil Desktop upgraded to Win10 64-bit, Intel i5 quad core, 8Gb RAM, NVIDIA GefORCE GT730 The Win-10 laptop is on permanent loan to my daughter......
