Hi all, let me try to clarify everything for you. But firstly, thank you for ordering!
The book is finished, all written, legally approved and typeset. The printers have given me the copy so I can give it one last proofread, and then it will be ready to sent to the printers for March 14th release date. I'm ready for it to come out tomorrow, but the publisher has their own release schedule to think about, they have PR campaigns to manage, and it of course takes a few weeks to be printed.
We had an original release date of late Sept 2021, which looking back was ridiculously naive and silly to aim for. When the publisher took on the book they mentioned they had a gap there and asked if I could have it ready by then. It's my first book, so I said yes of course. What we didn't factor in was the long time it would take to get legal approval, as the lawyer wanted to do many reads, we had plenty of back and forths, and I had to go back to sources to get double and triple confirmation for certain things. I also added new material which pushed back finishing, as when I was in this process I learned some new stuff that I wanted to put in.
I tried to keep people informed throughout that the Amazon release dates were inaccurate, as they kept pushing it back by a couple of weeks - I dunno if that was just an automated thing or dodgy info they were getting. I'm sorry for that frustration but I couldn't do anything about it unfortunately. But it's all finished now and in my opinion will be a must-read for all BFC fans. I asked Tim Fielding to read a draft and he read it all in two nights and couldn't put it down. My family also said nice things but they are a little less objective.
So yes it's coming out and soon! And I absolutely can't wait.
