Sorry, don't do the con thing so I don't know the dates. That's what I get
for shooting from the hip. 
I still think the rest of the email applies though. PEG needs capital from
us to start print runs. They have to pay the printers for X-thousand
copies to ship, then wait for those X-thousand copies to sell before
getting any money back. That means a lot of overhead up front.

Would it be possible [Shane] for people going to GenCon to pre-order and
pay for their books/whatever now and then just pick them up at the con?
Assuming the new toys are ready by then...
