Hi Rebecca, The initial print run from September contained a few errors that the publisher decided to fix. There was a bit of a delay in getting the revised books printed, but just yesterday I received samples of the corrected version. I don’t know if the printer is handling order fulfillment or if the publisher is doing it himself, but the books should start being mailed out very soon. I’m very sorry for the delay, but the books look great and I think you will be pleased with it. When I hear concrete information about fulfillment I will post it here on my blog (which I thank you for reading!)
