Hey Skitty! I'm sorry if you already addressed this somewhere, but I was taking a look at bookdepository to see if they had updated their listing to show your book (so excited to read it!!), and I noticed that it's already there, but it's also offering the paperback preorder option! Not that it would make much of a difference now that it's one more day until release, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. I thought physical preorders could only be accessed through your shop? (I'm not based in the US or Canada btw, that's why I planned on ordering it through a middle man.) So I was wondering if you managed to tweak the preorder option to include physical copies or if I should play it safe and wait those 24 more hrs :')

Either way here's a token of my love and support 💕 I can't believe I'll finally be able to hold this book in my hands omg

i haven't addressed this! but WOW GO LOOK AT MY BOOK AT THIS SITE. (it's also technically on sale there - i have no control over it since that's the seller's ballgame but have at it, people!)

sites like barnes & noble and bookdepository CAN offer preorders because they also have access to the same printer i do! it's their prerogative to offer preorders or not. (i also had not heard of this site before, which is why i never mentioned it.) so go ahead and order from there or anywhere you can! it's legit, i promise.

but no, physical preorders were not JUST through my shop - it's just the way i get the most money per copy, haha. and i could technically ship it prior to release date myself because as the author i have a handy dandy button that says "override release date" on my order page. :> moot point one day before release, but that's how i was doing it! (bookstores probably could preorder it to get the shipping time trimmed, but they could not ship it prior to release date. whereas i could!)

thank you for your love & support! <3 it means a lot, and i'm also excited for people to hold this brick!!

#i haven't ordered a copy for myself #and my mother is judging me for it #but like i've already READ it and i also am facing an international move early next year #so why would i want a giant book #but also yes i want to own a copy to annotate and mark up with Official Runes(tm)#because i made a copy of the rook and the ram with special annotations and sent them to a friend #i put .2 thoughts into offering that as an option for people to order but the pricing would be OBSCENE #because i would do it all by hand and the time would be incredible #so that stays to my personal preference only #ask
