It's going to be a sweet day when I have hardcopy in hand, crack open the cover, and smell that new paper and ink....

Folks, "David Crockett in Congress" was a little late getting out of the printers, so Amazon is still waiting for their shipment, which is en route. It appears that customer orders will be shipping in a couple of weeks. Thank you for your support, your pre-orders, and your patience! (A couple of advance author review copies were air freighted in, so we know the book is on the way!) Jim

Thanks Jim! Got the email this morning letting me know. Can't wait to get it and will surely have you and Allen sign my copy if I am in San Antonio next March.

Just to clarify -- the delay is in the shipping time (it is a bit longer than anticipated), not in the printing. The book is printed and on its way; just a short delay in getting here. If I may add a bit shamelessly, the advance copies Jim and I received are eye-popping; we think readers will be very pleased.

I just got an email from Amazon.com, asking me to confirm my order -- still no ship date though. Looking forward to this; will move it right to the top of my to-read stack.

Bob,
The books are in transit and should be available to Amazon very soon, so please confirm your order. Also, if you locked in at the lower, pre-order price, that price will hold as long as you confirm the order and don't cancel it.
Thanks for ordering the book; I think you'll be glad you did.
Allen

Update: We heard from the publisher this morning. The books were printed overseas but the shipment has arrived stateside. Apparently the delay has been in clearing customs at the port here in the US. It is now scheduled to be delivered to Amazon the week of October 26, so customer orders should be shipped out shortly after that. Thanks for your patience. We hope you'll find the book worth the wait! Jim

As Tom Petty said, "The waiting's the hardest part."

Yes, Tom; I guess the waiting is hardest on us as we've been anticpating this for a while (as you know). But, wait we shall; not all that much longer now. At least Jim and I each have an advance copy and can assure you that this thing is really worth waiting for.
Please note that the release date has been corrected on Amazon to November 1, although, as Jim says, the books should be shipped by Amazon a bit earlier than that.
Thanks to all of you for holding your Amazon orders; please do not cancel them as you will then lose the pre-order price you were locked into.

Amazon update -- Amazon has changed the release date to November 1 and all of you who made pre-orders should receive a follow-up email from Amazon announcing the new delivery date for the book. I got my email this evening; please post here when you receive one.
Thanks to all and sorry for the slight delay, but it IS on its way!!
Allen
