Anyone care to remortgage their houses to lend me the necessary cash?

it doesn't give the weight of the book anywhere. How am I meant to judge value without knowing the weight?

Fuckin heavy

Some guy at Cromlech boulders on Tuesdaly seemed to know Si P/ a bit about it... he thought most likely by Christmas!

I guess 'with the publisher' and 'next in line for printing' may not be the same thing?

I'd exercise patience basically, who knows when it will arrive..

I can confirm that I have no video evidence of this not being at the printers.

Yes but how many runs of other material does the printer have to do before NWB? In other words, when will they actually print it?

And where is the printers? Is it in China and the books will be shipped back to the UK on a very slow moving container ship? How much ransom are somali pirates going to want for it?

Let's hope they don't see this thread, otherwise NWB prices are going to soar.

Hopefully it's not at some dodgy printers in Romania and ends up being sent back to be re-printed. I'm sure that's never happened before.

Printers in Aberystwyth. Probably get back quicker from China than there though. Seems the wait is nearly over.

If its the same people that printed and bound my thesis (lovely little print shop - tucked away in the middle of town) they will do an amazing job - but take weeks... for each one :)

Pleased its being printed in Wales though...

I'd heard on good authority it was at a secret printing press in a small cave on the Little Orme..

Are you saying it's not going to be a pop-up book?

Is that the rubber cheque you are paying for it with?
