'Knowing Knowledge' ahead of its time?

On Wednesday last week, I ordered a copy of George Siemens's book Knowing Knowledge. I read it online when it was first published, but (for various reasons I won't bore you with) decided I needed a hard copy after all.

Yesterday, I received an email telling me:

Shipped on Sun, 22 Feb 2009 via Flat Rate
All items in your order have been dispatched.

Nothing so strange about that.

Except that the book arrived on Saturday morning.

So it's official - George's theory is light years ahead of its time!
