Hi!

Well, it seems people like the new Fiore facsimile and translation. Thanks to everyone who bought it, and everyone who took advantage of the birthday sale. People like you buying my books and courses literally feeds my children, so I do appreciate it.

Unfortunately we have encountered a problem with the print files; some copies may have lines missing in the translated portion (it’s as if the printers cut off the last line of each text block. Weird!). We are working with the printers to pause orders in the system while we fix the problem, and of course if you receive a copy with the error, we will be sending you a new one. We don’t yet know if the US printers are also affected.

This means that all orders that haven’t shipped yet will be delayed, and I’ve paused sales in the shop until the problem is solved. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s back up! But you will get your book, with ALL the words, as soon as we can make it happen.

It occurred to me that I should format an ebook version of the text of the translation, and throw in the transcription too, and send that out to everyone who’s bought the facsimile. So that’s jumped to the top of my todo list (as if it wasn’t long enough!). Of course one great advantage of the ebook will be searchability. Want to know exactly where Fiore uses the term “volta”? Just type it into the search bar. And another is no shipping or printing delays: delivery should be practically instantaneous.

It’ll definitely be free to everyone who gets the facsimile; I’m pondering making it free on all platforms too, just because.
