Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk We are sorry for the disappointment caused in this issue. I have checked your order # and found that the availability estimate for the item "Street Art: Contemporary Prints" is listed as "Temporarily out of stock." I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused. When an item is listed as "Temporarily out of stock. Order now and we will deliver when available" this means that it is an item that is not ordered frequently--so we cant predict exactly how long it will take us to obtain it or when we will be able to ship it to you. After you place your order, we will do our best to get the item for you. Please note that whilst we aim to display the most accurate product availability possible, occasionally products can go out of stock or become out of print/discontinued. We will e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information from our suppliers. If the order takes too long to meet your needs, you may cancel it at any time before it enters the shipping process and you will not be charged for it.

Maybe V&A/Black Rat have presold more than they thought and therefore the supply to Amazon has had to be cancelled?
Edit - my mail says:

I dont understand why they even had amazon as a stockist, unless it was simply for promotion of the standard book

LTD Edition of V&A Street Art Contemporary prints, by greasemonkey on Feb 11, 2011 23:25:12 GMT 1, I contacted the Victoria & Albert shop regarding an order I placed on the 29th Jan for this special edition book, and I have today received this positive reply.
Thank you for contacting us.
We were only allocated a certain amount of stock of this title to sell online and therefore the book was available to pre-order while we were still within our stock threshold. I can confirm that as you ordered during this time your order is valid. This is currently on file for when we have received stock. Unfortunately we do not have an exact date for when the book will be available however we anticipate this to be in early-mid March.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any further assistance.
Kind regards,
Fingers crossed

LTD Edition of V&A Street Art Contemporary prints, by seeohay on Feb 12, 2011 2:44:31 GMT 1, I bought an AP of the print at BRP on Thursday and then went and bought the regular paper back edition of the book today at the V & A with the poster sleeve. No problem- £14.99 well spent.
The spray paint tag is gold though on the print I bought, not red as shown in the picture.

Horses for courses I guess. To me these look too small, and the composition is totally off. The Street Improvements, in the flesh, with the varnish, thick ink, and the torn edges look much, much nicer. Side by side there's no comparison IMO.

I really don't get the bad rep the Street Improvements series gets. They are beautifully printed, with a lovely pearl high gsm paper, spot varnish and imo up there with some of the best BRP have done.
