Demo's book at last!

[texino]

I'm freezing down here! Would one of the Illuminati please turn up the heat. Pretty please!

Sure Obie, I'll take care of that when the faculty tea breaks up.

Based on probably apocryphal information concerning the author, payment would be acceptable in the form of very old fermented grape juice or various forms of yeast-infected grains.

Should I evaporate the juices and yeast-infected grains and collect the condensates as a form of payment?

[Duke2Earl]

Knowing JJ as I do, the preferred form of payment is Blue boxes.

I wonder if she accepts Iraqi dinars?

I wonder if she accepts Iraqi dinars?

Or Vietnamese Dong.

All hail Amazon!!!!

They can announce a delivery a month before the alleged arrival date!

Ain't marketing great?

[LaVidaRoja]

June 2016

That's a YEAR in advance!

[Lambkin]

Yeah I read it as a delay.

[webhick]

So instead of Demo telling us there's a delay, she's conned Amazon into doing it.

All Hail Illuminati! May the Wolverpus feast upon your souls!

[fortinbras]

I see it's only being sold as a kindle book.

Please, is there a way to buy it as a solid object???

I hope so. I like real books with real pages, not the electronic versions.

We're writing about the order you placed on March 22, 2015 (Order# ...). Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below has changed, and we need to provide you with a new delivery estimate based on the new release date:

MacNab, JJ "The Seditionists: Inside the Explosive World of Anti-Government Extremism in America"
Estimated arrival date: December 01, 2017

[grixit]

Unacceptable. The book is already partly obsolete. Another year and it will just be history. In fact, it should probably be retitled to something like "Seditionism to 2013". If Demo can find a faster publisher she can write a sequel called "Seditionism Stands its Ground: The Bundy Years".

[Lambkin]

Seems like it work better as long-form journalism, magazine article series, etc. The subjects of the book are likely to implode before it's published, and that would be true at any time you start writing.

[Judge Roy Bean]

It's kind of like trying to write about a war that has not yet been won.

[Lambkin]

This just in. New release date: December 2099

[The Observer]

Wow, she must have gotten caught in a Illuminati conspiracy that backfired.

[Hercule Parrot]

Amazon are still predicting Dec 2017. No offence to illustrious author, but WTF?

Surely in this modern age, a completed text can be printed and distributed in a matter of weeks. It's not like there's only one printing facility and you have to book a slot when you can. We don't ship books by horse-drawn carts anymore, big distributors can shift vast stocks globally within days.

I hope the delay is to permit inclusion of recent events, especially the Talibundy's. Otherwise as someone rightly said above, it will be obsolete before it's on sale. Which would be a tragic end for a very fine project.

I'd be willing to bet a bottle of Patron reposado that Demo knows where all the leaks are ... just sayin.
