The announcement of the first volume of the three set compendium (100 Washington, DC Artists) caused quite a bit of stir further fueled by my re-write of a drive-by article on the subject.One of the commenters in one of those articles noted something along the line of "who cares, only 100 copies will sell".
And yet, the pre-orders for the book have been so unexpectedly high that now the book shows out of stock on Amazon until they get their orders fulfilled! in their distribution center.
By the way, for those of you who ordered the book online (including whoever apparently ordered 100 copies!), the publisher tells me that because of the fact that the book just arrived in the publisher's warehouse in PA just last week, it will take anywhere from 3-6 weeks for all distribution centers (both online and brick and mortar bookstores) to receive their stock and replace it in their inventory.
So the book will be back in stock at Amazon as soon as they receive their current orders and their additional orders.
By the way number two: Pencil in 23 July from 3-5PM for the book release party in DC - more details here.

ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear! When will the planning start for the the second volume?
I can't wait for my copy. It's amazing to see the length of time that it's taken for them to print and distribute! That said, I'm sure it will be worth it. I'm always very pleased by your energy and love for the DC area art scene.
