Has anyone read this book, or know anything about it? According to Amazon it was published Sept 3rd.

Hi Crafty,

Amazon was a little overzealous -- in early September I hadn't even seen a draft of the book. It's now finished however and in production. Happy to answer any questions you might have!

Congrats on getting it out there.

Thanks. Only took two years.

In case it wasn't clear I'm the author.

I don't really have control over the electronic book status. I've been told it IS available electronically, but I still don't know where. I've tried to get it published on DriveThruRPG but McFarland hasn't yet followed up in that regard. Their primary focus is libraries, which they handle quite well.

I'll keep asking!

Hi Guys,

Just found it that it WILL be released as an e-book, and it will be released at the following: ebrary, Ingram, netLibrary and to Amazon’s Kindle program. There is also progress on having it published with DriveThruRPG. All of this is in process however.

Merry Christmas!
