Random thoughts...

Thanks Ron! I do plan to stick with this one as I really want the books. I just hate that he won't respond to my email. Have literally tried to reach him for months. I think I will take your advice and just not pre-order from him directly. Probably wouldn't care so much; however, this was my first Haffner purchase and am a bit bummed to have this be my first experience. Thanks again!

I'd just echo what Ron said above. Just here to add: Have you not signed up for his newsletter? He's been pretty consistent in explaining the delays every few months for the last year or so. He may be cranky about explaining the delays individually when it's all there on the newsletters. Not saying that's the best customer service move, but... Other than that: it's the same ol' story: Patience, or- ask for your money back.

Wasn't sure where to post this so it's going here. A virtual event and signed book from Norman Reddus of The Walking Dead. No idea if he actually wrote the book, and frankly it sounds like something not necessarily in my wheelhouse, but I figured what the heck. I'm assuming it's a HC copy but I don't think it specifies that anywhere.

The Amazon listing shows this as the debut novel from Norman Reddus. The cover states 'With Frank Bill' who is an author but does not list him as an author on this one. So, no idea how much was actually written by Reddus. It does not sound that interesting to me, but Amazon also has a blurb from Joe R Lansdale. Lansdale is someone whose books descriptions often sound strange, but he manages to turn it into a good story so that intrigues me. Passing for now but I may come back to it. Thanks for the post!

Bummer to hear of another publisher struggling to get books out in a prompt manner. I’ve been tempted to order from Haffner but this puts me off. My patience in waiting for pre-orders has dwindled a bit over the years.

I ordered the unsigned edition on 1/5/20. At the time, I thought I should order the signed edition, but I had never ordered from Haffner before, so I didn't. I was willing to risk $40 or so, but I have a lot of money in pre-orders now...not looking to add to that.

I am almost 100% full in my library room. I have just about hit the point where there will be no spots left. I have room for about six more HC books. After that I'm not sure what to do. I have already doubled stacked on one bookcase and used the top of a low shelf system. I do have two shelves of trade PB's (doubled as well) that may be going into the closet which would allow for more HC room.

I also have a full encyclopedia set that takes up tons of room. I am fairly attached to them but they may be going to storage as well. Decisions. Decisions.
