I have ordered nearly all of the DS books directly from Pomegranate Press. Although this was several years ago, there has never been any problem. I seem to recall that it may have taken a while for my checks to be cashed also. I was also under the impression that Ms. Scott fulfills the orders herself, so it may be that she is busy at the moment. I would suggest waiting a couple of weeks more, at least, before sending an inquiry. This is a small business, not an operation like amazon.com!
