Just received word that the books are scheduled to arrive at the Port of Long Beach THIS FRIDAY. Barring any lengthy delays with customs or shipping from Long Beach to Texas, I would expect we will begin filling PRE-ORDERS by the 29th of October - well ahead of schedule!!! Additionally, I have received three "advance" copies today that were shipped separately from the main shipment for review. All I can say is "WOW!" - longtime DML'ers will remember when I first tried to have SSI reprinted in 1997-1998 - so seeing these copies, updated and reprinted really is the culmination of years of effort. And that "new book" smell is really cool, too! If you have not yet pre-ordered your copy of the updated, second edition of "DeLorean: Stainless Steel Illusion", do it now to ensure that your order is shipped the day the books arrive. http://www.stainless-steel-illusion.com Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
