Wow..on Friday morning, I ordered Turn Left at Orion, and the Sky Atlas 2000, 2nd edition from Amazon.com. No extra shipping options or anything, the estimated delivery date was this Thursday, 8/25.
I get home from work, and the box is sitting on my computer chair!
Woo! Great to come home to!

I once ordered a book on Relativity that arrived three days before I even thought about ordering it!

Alaska to Dublin, Ireland in only four days (using Media Mail shipping) mightly impressed me last year. Had ordered a book from Title Wave books at www.wavebooks.com . . . really friendly service and chatted on email with one of their staff about the aurora season for a few days. They've got a few nice astronomy books on sale in their online store.
