Mine, pre-ordered ages ago, arrived from amazon.co.uk today!
I now have both Ldraw books, but it's too early for me to draw comparisons.
I left it on the table today when my father-in-law visited, and after
browsing through it for 1/2 hour or so he wanted to come and give MLCad a
try on my PC, which can't be a bad thing...
