Strange, not sure what's going on there.
Whilst our developers look into it, here's a quick-link: https://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/news/guidebooks/climbers'_club_guides_...
For what it's worth, I got my review copy through over the weekend. Initial impressions are positive, with the guide being very much of the same (high) calibre of Volume 1, which I reviewed back in 2016: https://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/reviews/guidebooks/climbers'_club_guid.... Whilst it'll take me a while to dig into the details, the format is very similar, with great mapping, clear, bright, and colourful topos, and a good selection of action shots. The double page spread area headers are particularly stunning and a very nice touch. The guide also brings to light a number of routes/areas that may have been a little off the radar previously (or at least they certainly were to me!) both on the granite and on the Lizard. The history for both areas look thorough and - for those who are fans of FA information - you'll be glad to hear that this too has been included.
My only gripe is the cover. Whilst they say 'don't just a book by its cover' it is pretty much impossible not to. The cover shot itself is quite weak (there are far better within the guide) and the change from a matt to gloss format makes it lose the classy edge that Volume 1 had. That said, it's not the cover that's going to get you to the base of a route, or to a new area you haven't been before, so whilst it's definitely a bit of a let down it's not - lest we forget - the end of the world.
I'll post a more thorough review as/when I've had time to gather my thoughts more fully.
