So much so that you're giving everyone that has already preordered it an extra chapbook or something

It is going to be AWESOME, I think, but there's just still moving pieces to fall into place. We've changed the focus a bit in a way that I think will make it even more exciting for collectors. It will be a BIG book with a ton of great stories and a ton of people signing the signed editions.
I think it will be well worth the wait and I wish I could tell you more, but we really need to hear back from the last contributors first. We don't like announcing a partial TOC because A) some people think it's final no matter how we preface it and they feel let down because "their" author isn't there (even though he or she might be in the works!) and B) to an author or agent who is still negotiating, it can look like a "pressure tactic" to make them make a decision. We don't do that.
I've also made a rookie mistake by saying "we'll announce the TOC (this summer, etc)" which I shouldn't have done. I was sure the last pieces were almost in place and we definitely would be able to announce, but I shouldn't have put a time frame out there. I was just excited and want to announce details!
Thank you to all of our collectors who have shown tremendous patience on this one. We really do appreachiate your support. We have the best collectors in the world.
