An update on the online orders of Took You So Long. From my editor:“It depends a bit on where they were pre-ordered from.“UTP (University of Toronto Press Distribution) has stock as of this past Friday, but haven't cleared backorders yet. “This means that pre-orders from UTP will (probably) be shipped this week.“Pre-orders from Amazon won't be shipped until Amazon receives stock from UTP, which may be early next week.“In either case, it will likely also be a few days in transit to readers after books have shipped.”Hope that helps.
