It's been a long time coming (how's that for the understatement of the year...?). The Master of the Majicks reprint project has turned out to be a massive undertaking, far more elaborate than just the corrections and added text here and there with a handful of new photos. The upside is that extensive new text, including information and interview material, and over 700 (!) new photos have been added to the three books. The downside is that it has taken much longer than anticipated and, in some aspects, at greater expense. Everyone – especially those who have or have seen the original editions – has been extraordinarily patient and understanding, which is much appreciated.

The time and effort has been well spent, I think; outside of the valuable contributions of the author, Mike Hankin, and our generous contributors, the production of the books has been pretty much a one-man operation, including the layouts themselves, meticulously retouching and restoring all of the images, managing the website, collating orders and maintaining the database, other business details, dealing with the printer, and so on. I don't say that by way of making excuses, just the reality of the situation. In any case, I'm rounding the corner to the home stretch. I know you've heard that before, but also know that I'm not lying on the beach soaking up the California sun. Every day, including most weekends and holidays (and some have been very long days), has been spent working on the books to not only get everything done but get it done in the best manner possible.

The one thing I cannot point to with a degree of satisfaction is my ability to predict a time frame. So I will only say that soon –and hopefully very soon– I will be locking down a precise production/printing/shipping calendar in conjunction with my printer, and when that's in place I will be announcing and publishing that plan in detail here on the website and in an e-mail Newsletter. Further, I will revive a Blog I started long ago in order to regularly report to everyone the ongoing status of the project step-by-step.

Thanks again to everyone for their support, enthusiasm, and saintly patience with this project. Everyone's anticipation for the end result (including mine) is almost palpable, but I truly feel the project will be worth the wait.
