SHIPPING UPDATE - We are trying to catch up!
We are behind on our shipping. Very behind. After working through data issues the latests was as we got into opening more boxes of books we saw misprinting and damage that was unacceptable. We stopped to review books the best we could to make sure you were getting the pristine copies you are expecting. We are rocking now with getting the final orders processed and over to the shipper. Everything should be out by next week and you should be receiving shipping info when the

Our Apologies - and making it right!
We have had our issues recently. And, we are truly sorry that it has impacted a number of our loyal supporters!! It has provided an unfortunate opportunity to learn and improve! The key thing is that we believe we have everything we need to complete orders and we have been working diligently to get correct orders out the door. In fact, some of you may have already received corrected shipments. We tried to rush things and found we were shorted important pieces from the pr

Shipping delays and assorted challenges
We truly apologize for some challenges with shipping over the last few weeks. The orders ultimately exceeded the resources of our small company so we had to slow it down a bit. We also found the printer shorted us some essential items and we had to get that cleared up. We got everything finally delivered and we are back to filling orders. In fact, we have finished prepping all 500 copies of the slipcase edition. With the Kickstarter pledges and website orders, we are within

BOOKS ARE IN!! SHIPPING NOW
Books have arrived. They got in just before Thanksgiving and we have already gotten some orders out the door. The assembly work on the slipcased edition is taking a bit of time to complete (medallions, numbered lenticular plate, bookmarks, bookplate) but we are working as fast as possible to get everything finished in the next week or so. We have actually been so busy that we haven't had time to take a picture of the new books!! We'll try to add a shot or two of boxes and

The Long Walk Across the Pacific
We had high hopes that we would have books in hand before the end of October. Well, of course, plans don't always work out the way we want. The books arrived at port in California a few weeks ago and they have been resting comfortably waiting for their enhanced scrutiny by the Customs Authorities. We heard today (November 5) that all review is done and the books are now just waiting for a ride to our warehouse in Kansas. So, while things got twisted up a bit in a not-quite

Frazetta—A Warrior Born
By S.C. Ringgenberg Frank Frazetta and Steve Ringgenberg (Comic book writer, historian and journalist, Steve Ringgenberg, talked with Frank Frazetta about his life and career more than anyone else.) Although Frank Frazetta was never in the military, and never even joined a gang, he grew up tough as nails and lived from early on like a warrior, sometimes battling overwhelming odds simply to survive, and later, to realize his artistic visions. And like his hero Frank Sinatra,
