Excellent! Thanks for the update. I have been (im)patiently waiting for this, so I can finally get me some skillz!
When is this book coming out I have reordered in back in July and keep getting delay notices from Amazon. I just received one today saying it will be shipped in December (Amazon.ca). I placed an order with amazon in the US and it said delivery will be in November. I don’t think I will be able to enter your picture contest before the deadline. How about a cardboard cutout with “Coming Soon” across it, will that count? 🙂
Michael that excatly what I thought i’d do, My Alexandra (6y) is very good at making anything out of a boxs. I could give her a copy of my order and a book cover and see what she could come up with.
Is the deadline being pushed back since the books aren’t being deliverd until the end of october-november? mine has been on order since august 3rd, with an estimated delivery date of october 31.
We’ll see. I doubt it. Amazon delivery dates are generally pessimistic.- JW
Saw these posts two weeks ago and put my order in. Got it this morning! I’ll get a picture to you all shortly.
