Then what?

I'm not sure you're having the impact on anyone that you think you are.

I could care less. All I want to know is it coming out next week or not. Simple question.

Next week. Yes? Or no?

How hard is that?

Since he's not hand-delivering them to every shop in the country,
and since he said "hopefully next week", what more do you want?
The name of the driver of the truck?

You mean to tell me that the owner of a multi-million dollar company does not know when it's next scheduled delivery is?

Come on Greg.........

Next week. Yes? Or no?

It's easy. Frank? Will you be working on my house next week? Yes. Frank? Will you be working on my house next week? No.

See? Easy.

And, yes. I do own a multi-million dollar company.

Your example is one where YOU are in control.

The question here is not the same thing... Dino isn't driving the truck.

A better example would be:

Frank, will the replacement supplies that you ordered from the factory that makes them
be delivered to hundreds of locations on the exact day you expect them, or might they be late?

Come on, Frank, it's an easy question. Yes or no?

Hold on a second, Dino doesn't personally deliver all the books?

I was told by Dino on the VCS forum that it is out of his hands at this time but ''chances are good'' for next week

Interesting how fast a thread can spin out of control.

Now that I know this I'd like to cancel my order...

I thought I was going to meet Dino dressed as a truck driver...

Well if the supplies in question are the only supplies that I an selling for the fiscal year then I better damn well know when they're going to be delivered.

My LCS owner told me the same thing. But could that change? Even though it's not on the invoice could it still show up?

dino wrote:Guys, here is the update. The book is done. The manufacturer printed a few pages incorrectly (the registration on these pages was off causing the pages to print slightly blurred). We had the manufacturer correct this, so there was a slight delay from their end. The book is now corrected, in hand, and looking great. There was a good chance it would make it out to stores today but the manufacturer narrowly missed this week's shipment deadline. They will be in stores shortly. Can't wait for you guys to see the new story and Jim's interview!
Inevitable questions... how many error copies are there, and how do we get them?

have you no shame?

I doubt they control the shippers. Any reason you have your panties in a bunch over this, or just can't overlook any opening to bust dino's chops?

translation: Production is done, they are at the shipper now. If you want an ETA contact the distributor, the rest of this is out of VEI's hands.
