oh my god - thank you so much for finding this!
ReplyDeleteSorry to dampen the spirits, but it was just announced that the release has been delayed about five weeks due to manufactuing issues. Sadness!
ReplyDelete^Sadness, maybe, but it gives us time to get the word out. Better to get it perfect, so I don't mind waiting another month.
ReplyDeleteAlain,
Put up a reminder with an Amazon link when it becomes available.
Okay, so, there is five weeks more to wait, where is the problem, frankly? Did we became spoiled child to the point we can't wait five weeks more? I hope not!
ReplyDeleteHowever I'll try to remind you when it'll be available for real.
