Any news on if the books are ever going to be published?

[WelshShooter]

Hey Dromia, Ian has recently given an update on YouTube regarding the signed copy versions. The description on the video says that a shipping date will be shared soon, which I suspect might be similar for the regular books.

three updates from last week

Today was day 1 of 3 at the printer signing books! They haven't had the covers put on yet, and some still need to be gilded, but this was the best time for my to come out to get this done, before SHOT Show and other travel I have planned. We got 2,637 signed today, which leaves about 3,400 to go, plus the 250 personalized extra-fancy editions...

Today was day 2 of 3 signing books at the printer. We did about another 1500 regular copies, plus almost all of the personalized Limited Edition copies (250, which took a lot longer, obviously). We also had a chance to see some of the foil application process on the covers. The book is looking fantastic, and I'm. really excited to get a completed copy in my hands - and in yours!

Today was the third and final day of book signing at the printer, and we did almost 3,000 more signatures. The day started by finishing up the remaining custom Limited Editions and the remaining bound books, but we still needed more at that point - so we transitioned to signing unbound sheets. I did about 2,500 of those, which should cover everything we need, including scrap and wastage from the printing processes. More to come when we have a final ship date!

Good news! our books shipped last night! scheduled for delivery on Thursday - but that may of course change. at least UPS use their own planes.

That is good news however isn't there talk about travel restrictions in place?

Not sure how it will affect deliveries.

Good to hear they are shipping hopefully without a surcharge. ParcelForce have announced they can continue to ship to the USA, but with an additional charge of GBP4.50/kg.....

[bradaz11]

we will have to see, If anyone wants the tracking number to keep an eye on it, Pm me.
Don't want to post it up, because it looks like ups let you edit deliveries with just the tracking no.
