ultrasteve Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've actually got two copies of the poster book on pre-order. One to keep as a book, one to cut up and stick on the wall! A shame that none of my mini-collection (Pole Position, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong) are in it, but still cool! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well I’ve had this preordered for a few months but Amazon today helpfully tells me it’s backordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Tarzilla Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well I’ve had this preordered for a few months but Amazon today helpfully tells me it’s backordered. Same with Barnes and Noble and Indigo/Chapters in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well I’ve had this preordered for a few months but Amazon today helpfully tells me it’s backordered. They need the posters to change the look of all their new Whole Foods stores. (I also got the backordered email from Amazon today.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (I also got the backordered email from Amazon today.) No email for me. I just went to the Amazon app to see if had shipped and saw "We'll email you when this item is available" in my Order Details screen even though I still have the open pre-order.

+sramirez2008 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Dang! I was hoping they would actually release it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Well, Tim the author posted about 7:00 this morning in this very thread, "... out today." I wonder what's going on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hey, all. This is a complete surprise to me. I checked in with Dynamite, my publisher, and they are looking into it. I'm not sure what's going on but I will update here and on Facebook as soon as I know more. I'm honestly pretty frustrated. Thanks for the patience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Nathan Strum Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Amazon is probably having trouble figuring out how to best ship them so they receive just the right amount of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Mines been on order since November, so I guess I can wait a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Tarzilla Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Dynamite is a comics company, Diamond distributing usually ships stuff for release on Wednesday in the comic world, just like Tuesday is usually DVD and Bluray release day. Probably will be released at 11:59:59 tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Well, I was surprised when I got an email from Amazon stating they don't know when this will ship asking if I"ll approve to wait. I, of course, said yes! Don't want to miss this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 So just got a message from Dynamite. They are perplexed by this too as the books are being shipped from Diamond, the distributor. Not sure what Amazon's issue is. But at least we know books are moving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 So has anyone gotten a shipping notice from Amazon yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapetino Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 So I just heard from Dynamite. Apparently there was some issue with books getting shipped from Diamond distribution to Amazon. They seemed to be sitting on them for some unknown reason. But they are now going to be shipped to them so they will be available beginning July 4. Sorry for the delay -- it's pretty annoying. Any Chicagoans who don't want to wait for those to ship can come buy a copy and have me sign it tomorrow night, June 22, at Logan Arcade in Chicago. https://www.facebook.com/events/216057835573744/?ti=icl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Are we still talking about the Art of Atari book here? I got the Kindle/ComiXology version cheaply a while back, it looks nice. Still available for $9.36 if you don't need the dead tree version. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I1YU47U/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
