Andrew, only a few deluxe editions in the US were shipped. No foreign copies have been sent yet. It will happen in March.

I got the deluxe version - what a delight. I have always appreciated Richard's ability as a writer of magic books/effects. I was moved in his intro about Larry and I thought that Richard is a "good writer" - not just a good writer of magic books - but a good writer. As anyone knows who has written professionally good writing takes time. Just a thought

I agree completely. Richard is a brilliant writer - and not just of magic instructions. I always love it when he writes about magic from a more personal angle.

Has the regular edition of Jennings' book been shipped, especially to Canada?
There is a parcel for me at the post office but I am only going if it is this book... ;) :D

The replacement printing of books has reached the port of Los Angeles. There is a backup at the port (easy to read about online). Once the books get unloaded from the ship, they get trucked to Michigan where the fulfillment warehouse is located. Then they get shipped out. Given the date, I am hoping we can start shipping the end of this month. It's been a terrible wait!

This one's for the boys......

Richard,
Would you ever consider putting together a dvd project using the interview footage with Larry? Something like a companion to the books...
I watched the interview with Michael Close, where you showed a snippet of Larry and was dying to see more!

I would have to digitize all the footage first, and the editing would be a real pain. But maybe for the third book.

Richard

Just wondered if any of your reprinted books are on this ship?

Excellent news. While the news is welcome to those of us who pre-ordered, I can only imagine that for you the relief is transcendent.
