Fall
Patiently waiting for Mcelroy to die so we can finally get that 3rd printing. he's 86, so fingers crossed.
From the goodreads group '"I received an update from Dzanc today. Be assured, the book is still in the works. Joe has been editing this thing with the aim to make it "a version of this book that he can pick up and not find a single mistake in". There is at least one more process of working in his corrections and returning it to him for further possible corrections. Basically, Dzanc is doing the edition that Joe himself will be as pleased with as possible.
As to the cover art, it is a painting by his wife and he "feels it captures the book perfectly".
Dzanc does understand the frustrations expressed in this group with the constant delay. It's their frustration too. But again, they are committed to producing an edition that Joe is happy with. I think that's some pretty cool stuff from a publisher.
We don't have a firm release date yet, but I think it's reasonable to expect it by the year's end. If anyone's got any other question, please do let me know. I'll pass them on to Dzanc. Perhaps I should've inquired sooner with them, but basically what they've told me has been my understanding--it's taking some time and it's going to be done to Joe's own standards. [but not to Nick's standard of calf-bound hd ; but at least there'll be a print edition.]"' so yes, we won't see a third print til Mcelroy's dead.
That cover looks like it's sitting there looking at you saying "we need to talk".
