IN THE BEGINNING Delayed

CBD has notified me that the release date of IN THE BEGINNING by Walt Brown has been postponed, and that the book is now on back order. CBD now expects the book on 12/19/08.

Walt Brown's site still sates that they expect it to be released by late November. I do not think that this late November date accounts for the newly announced delay. November was the original expected date of release.

This will affect the HMTP. The discussion date for IN THE BEGINNING was scheduled for December 2008. In the short term, I propose that we drop HERE I STAND into the December slot and bump IN TH EBEGINNING out to January. We will then make a decision as to how far to postpone IN THE BEGINNING at the next meeting when more information may be available.

A Bird In Hand...
It seems that our desire to read the hottest releases is causing havock with our schedule. We had to delay AN EVIL GUEST DUE due to late delivery and had to adjust the tricky Pay Paul scheme for THE GLORY AND THE DREAM once already. In the future we may need to wait until we have the books in hand before we commit them to the HMTP schedule; or, at least, schedule new releases a few months after their expected dates.
