Pre-ordered any upcoming Lee & Miller from Amazon? Pls read

Apparently Amazon.com* is canceling actual, real-world pre-orders of Mouse and Dragon because the book has "sold out."** If this has happened to you, please go here and let us know.

*Yes, the notice does appear to come from an Actual Amazon.com address, though the notice itself isn't exactly written in typical Amazon.com Notice Speak.

**No, I don't know how a book that's not even scheduled to be on the shelf until June 15 can be "sold out" -- at this point in the game, if Amazon had sold Thrilling Numbers of the novel, all they would have to do is contact their distributor with an updated order.

I have a feeling that cancellation of pre-orders was a side effect of a bigger problem. People on a comic book yahoo group I'm on were all excited that a bunch of out of print and normally rare and very expensive comic collections seemed to be on sale dirt cheap on Amazon. So of course, people flooded orders in. All of those orders since got canceled by Amazon because they didn't actually HAVE them. Actually, I think I heard that some didn't; my impression is that they honored the too-low price as long as they had stock, then canceled the rest.

I'd guess that in fixing their oops, they managed to cancel the pre-orders as well.
