I put in an order for a short run just for those who had pre-ordered Back in November. The printer quoted me a ship date of January 2nd. January 2nd came and went and I hadn’t even been invoiced for the job. Finally, on January 26th, I cancelled that order and sprang for a full print-run of the book with my usual printer, Keness.
As of this morning I hadn’t heard anything from Ken Loyd, the printer, so I called him a few moments ago. It turned out that his system never notified me of the order and he is going to run the proof today and ship it out to me for approval.
With luck I’ll be able to fulfill the pre-orders in a couple of weeks and then put the book out for actual sale. My apologies to everyone for how long this whole thing has taken.
