Nook Pre-Order Deal has not appeared

Hi

Did anyone else get this deal from Barnes & Noble that was posted in September if so has the book appeared in your account yet? It was supposed to be released mid January and while I can see it in my nook library it won't download when clicked and states not shipped in the order listing. I haven't had a B&N preorder before and was just wondering what's going on with it

There is a great deal on the pre-order of The Columbus Trilogy: The Silver Bear, Columbus, and Dark Men, by Derek Haas for $2.99; priced individually, these are $6.30 to $9.99 (and Dark Men isn't even released - the hardcover is over $16 on pre-order). I already had The Silver Bear, so snapped this up to get the next two in the trilogy. I suspect this price is an error and could change at any time, although I found the same pre-order price at Barnes & Noble.

On Kindle, it was canceled, restored and then shipped - but it was not the actual trilogy; instead it was a classic (Moby Dick, I think). I had to get a refund on Kindle.

Might want to try to get a refund on nook, as I doubt you'll ever get the actual promised trilogy (which I checked out from the library, instead).

From what I can tell Barnes & Noble don't charge the card until the book ships so I shouldn't need a refund as the order in my account states not shipped. I will check my Credit card from around the order time and around the supposed release date just to be sure. At the moment it shows up in my Nook for PC as a greyed out cover not sure how I'm going to get rid of that.

If you have a gift card, it gets hit immediately (and I had one card charged early, before I started keeping a balance there - they may have finally stopped that, since it is illegal in the States).

The trilogy appeared in my Barnes and Noble account today Yay

Longest pre-order I've ever had Sept to June

It appears the book has been corrected at Amazon, also (I got Melville's Moby Dick when it was delivered). So, might be worth pursuing an update or buying now, if you received a refund, as it is still the same $2.99 at both places.
