Progress continues on the printing of Pistol of the Warlords, albeit slowly. At this stage the pages are completed, and we have been finalizing the covers. The covers are now finally approved (there were a couple of problems with the initial samples that we had to fix), and moving into production. The Collector Edition clamshell cases are also now approved and moving into production.
We have most of the ancillary items complete and in the warehouse ready to pack up when the books arrive. Specifically, we have the bookmarks, maps, patches, and posters. Cocktail menus are printed and en route.
The printing of Arming the Dragon has been pulled from our Chinese printer after the CCP came back to us with a bunch of new content changes they wanted us to make. Instead, we have moved that project to an American printer, and just approved their sample printing this week. It is not feasible to move the main book at this late stage, though.
Once the covers are printed, the binding process should move pretty quickly. Transit over to the US will not, though - that will take most likely 1-2 months. Once the books are on a ship, though, we should be able to get a solid delivery date. We understand that these dragging delays have been really irritating for many folks, and they have been for us as well. We are doing everything we can to prevent and delays from our end, and get these books finished and delivered as quickly as possible.
