He could have easily kept the book development quiet until it was close to release, but instead he chose to include his fellow Tenyo fans in the creation of this book and involve us as it was being produced. I love that. It makes me feel a part of something I usually couldn't be a part of. The timetable means nothing to me in this case. I know I'll get the book. And it will be right. And since this book never existed until Richard made it happen, that's all I need.

Have you never heard of the term.. "Tongue in Cheek" Wizard!!!! lol. Sense of humour helps too! Also I don't need to backup the claim of "most marketed book" as it was a throwaway statement. Lighten up mate. Note to self... magicians appear touchy.

Seeing a new slipcase sample shortly. Hopefully it will be the right one and we can proceed to pack and ship!

But, in my defense, there is quite a lot of negativity from useless trolls on this site, who only take and never give. I let my emotions get the best of me and assumed you were ignorantly insulting the good Mr. Kaufman (not that he needs my help...which he does not). Anyway...carry on, and thanks for being open-minded.

And with no ill intent intended, often that 'negativity' happens to come from newcomers to this thread.

Not yet, but he's swamped!

Not a problem. I do not need confirmation as I did get the PayPal confirmation. Thanks

Richard?
Do you have an idea of when the books will arrive in the UK? I penciled in the middle of October. Does that sound about right? Can't wait for the book. And thanks so much for taking on this massive project. |

Sounds like we are getting mighty close.
A month or so maybe? Good luck Richard... I'm really looking forward to it. |

As I've written, the books themselves are printed and sitting at the printer in China. The delay is with the slipcase. I've rejected the first five samples. I am waiting for a sixth sample to come from China this week--if it's good then everything will start moving again. At this point it seems that the books will arrive in the US in mid October. Then we will ship them out. So add the appropriate time for shipping to mid-October based on where you live.

Glad you are applying a critical eye to the quality.
Good luck with the remainder of the process. |

So, here's another update: the printer has finally created a slipcase that functions as it should. My wife did a design for the exterior and they have already shown us a mockup, and we expect to see photos of a fully-made sample in the next day or so.
Very sorry for the delay. The books have been sitting in China, all done, for a month. It never occurred to me that the slipcase could possibly cause such a problem. If the new sample is good, then we are looking at being able to ship the books near the end of October. A long time to wait, I know, but at least we are going to ship all of them out from here by Priority Mail (and Global Priority Mail) so they will arrive quickly once they leave our hands. Thanks for your patience. |

Thanks for the update Richard... I for one would rather have another few weeks wait then a slipcase that is not just right.

I agree.. I always want it done right and not fast. Take whatever time you need Richard to get it just right. Thanks

Wish I could post photos here to display the new slipcase. When I get a good photo I'll put it on my Facebook page, which is public and anyone can see.

Here is a question for all;
Would it be sacrilegious to highlight & make notes in my deluxe version of Tenyoism? |

It would be a little unholy, but probably not sacrilegious. It would effect the book's worth though if you wanted to resell it (but reselling it WOULD be sacrilegious)!

I actually think taking notes in it would display a certain cool swagger. It's like you know it's for you. Not some precious collectable to preserve for resale. You actually use it, read it, absorb it. Shows confidence in a cool way to me.
