Hello everyone,


We did send one extra book to each international location in the event that a latecomer wants a book.

Oh. I stuck that on eBay

Sorry, many of our Canadian members. I've been receiving numerous messages like this from Canada Post:

"Due to circumstances beyond our control, we may not be able to deliver your parcel within our standard delivery times. We’ll deliver it as soon as possible. We’re sorry for any inconvenience."

This is probably NOT for those in Ontario unless you are in outlying areas. However, if you provided a valid email address that you check, you should be getting the same messages. It is apparently out of the control of those who control it (which makes not a whit of sense) but surely there's not much we can do about it. Hoping it gets resolved from Atlantic to Pacific and your book parcel is delivered soon.

Just got word from "Team Robinson" that all the EU packages (every country but USA, Canada, UK and Australasia) have been dropped into the AnPost (Ireland Post) system.

So, with most USA, Canada, UK and Australasia/PacRim books either delivered or fast on the way, now every book is on the way for the "last mile" of shipment...

Thanks for all the support along the way, and a huge debt of gratitude to our external teams (not in any order): David Robinson and family in Ireland, Matt Stickley in Australia, James Lester in London/UK, and George Henne in Toronto/Canada.

Got my Volume 2 and a big thank you to all the team who put it together and made it happen again.  Another reference book to go into the Pagoda shed library for future reads.

Truly an international effort with many involved...

...not to mention all the respective authors who made the original articles and magazines so great.
