This post probably going to hold up well. Very latest response from FPG, could push back into October.
I am skeptical the book will be shipped this year. Again it's not the delay itself as much, although it would be nice to finally get the book in hand, but the fact a date is continually being announced then pushed back. It was April-May.....then late may...then by summer....then July-Aug....then July-September...then September...now probably into October. They keep blaming supply chain issues, which I was under the impression have been much more back to regular since the pandemic.
FPG seems like a great company and all and it's awesome they did this project with Jusko and MM. But this project has been somewhat disappointing so far at least for me. First was the bizarre responses from FPG on kickstarter about drunk driving that turned out to be they got hacked,, then the issues with backers of the original art trading/sell before shipment and the problems that caused, then the delays in framing, then the discarding of the frame entirely for the original art even though it was advertised in the campaign, and now the delays with the book month after month, even though a date keeps being announced, because they are saying supply chain issues. Here is verbatim from the Kickstarter page for this book under Risks and Challenges under FAQs:

Further, this book will be printed in the USA, thusly eliminating any Covid-related shipping delays.
