Black Cross Red Star Vol. 3 - publication news

[judyc]

Hi Nick;
Black Cross Red Star #3 has been published and is shipping; however, Amazon has yet to place their order. I have emailed them several times about the availability of this title but they have not responded. Until I have a purchase order number we cannot ship books to them.
Sorry about that, but you could order either direct from us or from any other book seller.
Thanks in advance,
Judy Crandall

From your note above, the December 5 shipping date that they have quoted is obviously nonsense as they haven't placed any order with you guys... amazing as I placed my order with them back in October!! Makes you want to pull your hair out at the very least!
