"Where is my book"

I wish it was easy to get a copy of Scott Pilgrim volume 4, but it's still kind of hard (and confusing). Here is my attempt to explain.

1. Good comic stores who ordered plenty of copies should still have copies. Examples of good comic stores: the Beguiling (Toronto), Strange Adventures (Halifax NS), Chapel Hill Comics (north carolina), Jim Hanley's Universe, Midtown Comics and Rocketship (all NYC), Comix Experience and Comic Relief (both Bay Area California), Meltdown (Los Angeles), Gosh (London UK), Page 45 (Nottingham UK), many more that I can't list. Obviously, not everyone lives in one of these cities. Some of these shops do mail-order and you could check the website of your closest one and find out.

2. Khepri.com probably has copies (if anyone knows, please inform me). They're an online comic store. Here is another one: In Stock Trades dot com.

3. As far as I know, most of the Big Box Bookstores (Barnes & Noble, Borders, Chapters, Indigo, etc) do not have copies yet. If you work at one of these stores or corporations in a knowledgeable capacity, please inform me otherwise.

3a. I am told Borders ordered "several hundred" copies. Which would mean less than one book per store.

4. Straight from Randal C. Jarrell, Managing Editor, Oni Press: "Amazon has already received their initial shipment and shipped all of those orders. They have already put in a few hundred more reorders." If you have an e-mail from Amazon telling you your book has shipped, PLEASE TELL ME! Other people are saying that Amazon tells them the book won't come until January, but this is absolutely not true - Amazon just defaults to the latest imaginable date and hopes you'll be pleasantly surprised if your order comes earlier.

5. Many comic stores will receive their reorders this week or next week, or really any week from now on. If you go to a comic store, pretty much any comic store, and tell them you want SCOTT PILGRIM GETS IT TOGETHER, from publisher ONI PRESS, Diamond Order Code JUN07 3779, they are able to order it. If they tell you they can't do it, it most likely means they won't do it, they are too lazy to do it, or they don't want and do not deserve your business, which you should take elsewhere immediately. I recommend the Internet.

6. Finally, if you live in the U.S. or Canada, you can order directly from my publisher, Oni Press. They will fill your order promptly and professionally.

7. If there's anything I've missed, let me know. I'm sure I've missed tons of stuff.

There are over 7000 copies of this book in circulation. There are thousands more at the warehouse. There is no shortage. The delays are at a distribution level which is huge, complex, and uncontrollable by yours truly, and I apologize.
