Jack the Ripper A-Z

[c.d.]

Yep, it would.

Just ordered it. Thanks for the advice.

Yep, it would.

Amazon has a used paperback edition of the original for $20. I don't have a copy of the book. I know it has errors but since it doesn't seem like the new edition is coming out any time soon, do you think it would be a worthwhile investment?

Oh, I get it. Missed Tom's post.

The A-Z would definitely deserve a more traditional publishing package than I'm in any position to deliver, unfortunately. Not that Tom was serious in the suggestion, of course...

[Dan Norder]

Wait, what? I'd love the A-Z to come out. Especially if, say, it came out by Oct. 11.

And, in case it's not clear, the pre-order on those online sites would be a pre-order for a Sutton A-Z, and since it at this point seems extremely unlikely that Sutton will publish it, any money on a pre-order for that item would just sit there for however long it takes Amazon to realize that it's not really coming out. It'd be like a savings account that doesn't earn any interest and which might eventually come back as in-store credit instead of money (after a certain amount of time they can't refund to a credit card anymore, as far as I know).

[Cap'n Jack]

I think I've said it before, but I'd be more than happy to take on the publication, and get it out soon.
Anything to piss Dan off.
(only joking, mate)

It's interesting that copies of the old hardcover edition (used not new) run from $65 to $125.

Nobody should rush to pre-order it.

I pre-ordered a DVD from Amazon months ago, and it arrived last weekend. To my surprise, it was discounted to less than half price under some "pre-release deal", of which I wasn't aware when I reserved the order. Bargain!

[Tom_Wescott]

Thanks for that, Chris George. Is it true that the new A-Z will be published by Inklings Press?

Yours truly,

Nobody should rush to pre-order it. I see it is available on the Amazon.ca website today for 32.73 CAD or, approximately, 33 USD.

I just checked amazon.com here in the U.S. They have a special pre-order price for the 2008 edition of A to Z of $46.95. No mention of when it is due out.

I recommended holding on to your money for now. I've done the pre-order thing on books and it's taken many months or even over a year before the book finally came out. Of course, this is out of the control of the authors, who I'm sure would like it out yesterday, as would I.

Yours truly,

Hi Folks

I don't think I am speaking out of turn when I tell you that there has been a glitch in the publication of the new edition of A to Z. Sutton Publishing was going to bring it out and at this time I understand they are not now going to do so. I think Sutton is undergoing changes which forced them to bow out and probably from other book deals as well. The authors are looking for another publisher.

WOW!! That must be a hardcover and I'd probably pay it but not until it's actually available.
