Dude. I will amend the main post shortly to reflect that it was never a definite commitment, just something discussed (which synchs completely with my recollection of what happened). I know at least three different small presses *discussed* doing it, but only one committed, and then had to change plans.

As to the rest, I'll be at the launch if I possibly can. I think it's a wonderful book and want to support it any way that I can. Look forward to more info as it becomes available.
