Shipping Update
The books arrived on Friday and IPR starts shipping them on Monday.
THANK YOU to everyone who waited so patiently. Let me explain what happened.
First, the printer shipped books to me rather than IPR. This means it took an extra week for the books to show up. Not only that, but they showed up while I was at Gencon, meaning it took another week to get to IPR.
I had to re-label and send the books off–twenty-one boxes worth–on my own dime to IPR. I nearly threw my back out shlepping all the books to the PO. (For those who don’t know, I have a permanent back injury from a car accident in 1998.)
Then, the US Post Office shipped the books to the wrong address. Or I gave them the wrong address. Or something. I don’t think the second option is correct because the books eventually arrived at IPR (on Friday). So, the book arrived. Late, but they got there.
Also, I’ve been overwhelmed by book orders. I had to print another 120 books to keep up with you guys. Hopefully, by the end of the month, I’ll have to print 120 more.
What this means is the Brewery is gonna go through some changes. I’ve already talked to Jared and we’re going to have an announcement soon.
