Surprise!

And I don't just mean the book!

I didn't get my e-mail! What a nice surprise, though!!!

[Jan]

I jumped the gun when I noticed that the sale page was up. I still haven't gotten my email yet, either.

So what do you think of the surprise in the surprise, Karen?

Now begins the long wait as people order and await their copies. Then comes the great silence when their copies arrive and they all clam up...

I just received the email about this. Next I need to listen to the preview podcast at

The biggest surprise is that there is enough material to have more than one volume of other voices for Crusade.

I don't know whether it works or not but there appears to be a coupon: CODE:FLOWERS
Mothers Day Special Save 15% off your total order from CafePress, Code: FLOWERS. Offer expires 5/8/11

Nope - doesn't work

AUTISM2011 is valid for $5 off orders of $30 or more, so if I can find something else I want to order ...

As much as I love the Script Books, this ongoing strategy to give no indication or be evasive about a release date and "Surprise" us continues to be annoying at best, and somewhat insulting at worst.

Now that I have that off my chest, Whoo Hoo. I had heard this book would come out and I'm glad to see it. The Woodward script is a great thing to release from the archives.

I wasn't expecting the Fiona Avery material either.

As usual. Thanks to the B5 books team for another amazing tome.

I couldn't find any general coupons other than the one for $5.00 off of $30.00 or more. Oh well, at least I have something to order. And I got my e-mail about it now, too! I'm very excited to see a new script, also. I am so behind in my reading. Getting a Kindle hasn't helped. Now I have more to read. Hope I can get to this before the year is out.....

The only good thing about not knowing when the books are coming out is that I have nothing to get anxious about, but since that is part of my reason for being, it isn't such a good thin after all.

All the other coupons I found expired last month at one date or another. I just added a magnet to my order (which I picked out from ABC's LOST store - there are plenty there of interest that I may buy in future orders) and I was ready to go.

'Fraid there's nothing any of us here can do (and I'm more than a little puzzled at the 'insulting' comment). Do you think it's easy for us to have such cool stuff that we'd love to share but can't? Don't forget, comments and suggestions (and compliments, of course ) should go to Captain Jaclyn at [email protected].

ETA: Karen, I was glad that you wouldn't have to be anxious about this one. At least not until it's time to get anxious about when it'll be delivered.

Thanks Karen, I never considered the positive benefits of withholding information.

Since the Other Voices books are being released at this point does it mean we don't expect a new JMS volume for awhile?

[glindros]

You're right Jan.

Insulted is not quite what I meant to express. Nor should this be the venue to question business practices. I'll endeavor to keep this a fan space.

I honestly don't know. I'm sure that any script commitments have to come first but I haven't heard anything about when HELL:2 might be.

Wish I did. I want to read it, too!

Don't know where else to post this - but if anyone from the BOOKS team is listening - can you exert any muscle to influence CafePress' insane recent shipping price hike for Canadian orders?

It feels like a bizarre mistake - standard is now 10$ for 1 item, 12$ for 2...

It used to be under 5$ pretty much since this series started!

Its now cheaper to order it worldwide... Does it make ANY sense that it should be cheaper to UK or Brazil then to Canada??? And take almost the same amount of time?

*sigh* /vent

Guess I'll hold off for now...

EDIT: Hmm... another thing that could be done is the BOOKS team could change the price to 30.00 even so we could use the coupons! That would work too!
