It's imminent! The Dread Crew launches again

Amazon (US) says they can't find my copy of the book I pre-ordered in January. They're going to cancel my order. Help! Any ideas?

Be a pirate. Tell Amazon to stuff it. Well. Not so much stuff it. Tell Amazon to be cool. Tell them to fret not. Offer them some handmade bark jerky while they wait for shelves to stock, 'cause you've got the inside line on The Dread Crew's print and shipping schedule. Or you do now.

AMERICANS: GET RARE

The last few hundred of the hardcover first editions are enroute right now to our distributor's warehouse in the United States. From there, supply will be divvied up to the warehouses of Amazon, Barnes & Noble (listing to appear soon), and other retailers. And from there, those retailers will ship to you.

Keep your order, ignore warnings of 'unavailable', and watch for your hardcover in the next few weeks.

Supply of those precious hardcovers is limited, but in September, the softcover will be widely available in the US. If you'd prefer a softcover now, though, simply order from a Canadian retailer (see below).

CANADIANS: GET SOFT

Can you smell that? Smell that. Go ahead.

Yep.

That's fresh ink. The second edition of The Dread Crew has just rolled off the presses and is being packed now for shipment across Canada. This special edition includes a brand-new Glossary of Terms as well as a softcover price to match: $12.95. Order now from Amazon (softcover listing to appear soon) or Chapters, or call your local indie favourite such as Woozles.

Also, watch sweet | salty over the next few days for news of giveaways and fun stuff to thank everyone over there for being so pirate-happy, and to send the newest Dreads off in style. Cause there's nothing that ushers in spring like a bit of maritime goop.
