We have been working with the printer to get the final kinks worked out of the print files.  Without going into too much detail - there was an embedded image problem that showed up when they started the process of prepress.  We needed to take the files back and have the graphic design team go into several dozen pages and make changes to the files to remove the remnants and clean the print files.  That moved us back to the beginning, having to start the prepress process again from scratch with the new files.  

We apologize that the issues have moved our expected on-press time back by several weeks.  The files have been cleared, and we are looking at starting up the process again at this time.  

The only issue currently pending are the prototypes of the metal slipcases which are being worked on separately from the print books.  Those too are very close to starting up the factory manufacturing process.  

The printer will be confirming with us their available press time within the next few days. As soon as we can give a projected printing and shipping date based on their input, we'll post another update with those details.  We hope to have this information by Tuesday of next week.  Thank you.
