All of our existing paper and eBooks are now available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble and they should be filtering through the expanded distribution chain as we speak – which means they will be available for order by all physical stores and through major distributors like Ingram Micro.
We would like to announce our current work-in-progress is none other than The Silver Princess in OZ by Ruth Plumly Thompson – book 32 in the 40(44) book OZ canon. It is, without a doubt, the rarest OZ book and hasn’t been seen in print for over 70 years. Very few copies of this book still exist so we are excited to have it in our queue.
We are experiencing some delays in production. The cover of our (extremely expensive) source material is horribly faded and has a 1″x3″ block of ragged white from a label someone must have removed at some point during the last seventy years – and of course it’s smack in the middle of the cover art. We normally design completely new covers for our reissues but the artwork of John R. Neill is timeless and so we would like to present it as it was. We also encountered some portions of the text that were distracting due to dated concepts that had no place in this story or in the land of Oz (and Ev). After some soul-searching and a tough judgment call we decided to edit a small portion of the book for content. Our Extended Edition content for this release will include our minor modifications to the original text as well as a brand new short story by A. Nicolai that delves into the life and times of Gludwig the Glubrious as well as the populace of the Palace of the Red Jinn.
Despite these delays, The Silver Princess in Oz should start showing up in eBook format in late June and print format by the Fourth of July!
