Ugghhh—so annoying!
I ordered APR 12, yet it told me MAY 12 is the delivery date. I guess non-essential stuff is moving slower?

Oh, how I resent Amazon… let me count the ways.
Update on the Amazon shipping fiasco regarding “The Joy of JoeCon” by Bill Nedrow. One day after Amazon tells me that the book is undeliverable to my address, and that no tracking exists regarding the package, the post office contacts me and says that Amazon shipped it to the wrong state (Tennessee) and zip code (37042) which is actually for the town of Clarksville, TN. So my first time trying free shipping with Amazon Prime costs me $5.35 in postage due. Ridiculous! (I’m not a fan of Jeff Bezos or Amazon at the moment.) The postal clerk tells me that Amazon frequently does that to customers living on the Tennessee side of this base. I wouldn’t doubt that. The book looks fantastic! It will be a fun read, and a nice memory keepsake of the JoeCons which I attended. I was surprised to discover four autograph pages in the back with the names of the authors of the collected essays, and an offer of a very small and cheap prize to the first person to collect all 30 signatures of the contributing authors in this book. It’s interesting that I've spoke with nearly every one of them at one convention or another, but I doubt that I will ever meet with most of them again, so having this book becomes even more special to me. Thanks for publishing it, Bill.

Playful, I am so glad you finally got it. It sucks that Amazon screwed you around like that.
Ozzie, it is taking me forever to get copies when I don’t order through Prime. My author account does not have Prime, so when it first became available, I ordered a copy but didn’t tell anyone it was done because I wanted to get it in hand and make sure it looked good (thank goodness I did because I had to make changes). It took about a month, and it was painful to have to wait and not reveal that it was out there. I hope it is worth the wait. |

Copy that!
Would’ve been fun to contribute—maybe for book #2, lol. ;)

I tried to solicit essays here about a year ago, but nobody responded.
There are quite a few names I would love to include in a sequel if there was enough interest. I would love to read about more people’s memories and experiences. |

I got my copies of The Joy of Joe and the Joy of Joecon today. Can’t wait to read these. I only made it to the 2012 Joecon but it was an experience that I still look back fondly on. I always wanted to go to another one but it never worked out.
