Neue Zigarrenbibel

Wann gehts denn los mit der Auslieferung des Buches?
Hat jemand Infos?

Ich habe vor kurzem eine E-MAIL erhalten, in der man sich zur Verzögerung äußerte. Es gab wohl Qualitätsmängel bei der Verpackung der Bücher, die für die Verzögerung verantwortlich sein sollen.

Hier der Wortlaut der Mail:

 know many of you are impatient to have the book in your hands. Believe me, we are too! We faced delays in the editing process, and have faced delays in the production process as well, but I promise it is all in the interest of getting everything exactly right. 

While we still do not have a delivery date to offer, we wanted to let you know where things stand. The books are still with the printers. The bindery has been approved. We have reviewed dummies of the standard/Kickstarter edition books and the Collector's Edition volumes, and the construction on all of them looked wonderful. 

We have had a slightly more protracted process to get the box for the Collector's Edition just right. The first prototype we received wasn't right. The box had a bit of a  lip to it. It didn't have the look of a true cigar box. 


Of course, these are still just the prototypes. The final boxes are being constructed with custom lift ribbons, and interior and exterior art, and will be more polished, but with the third prototype, we finally had our box. 

Thank you all again for your patience and your support, and we hope to be in touch soon with more of the information you are craving. 

All the best,

Alexander Groom of Cuban Cigar Website & Helios House Press

Schaut vielversprechend aus, bin schon sehr gespannt.

Hello, 

You are receiving this because you are a pre-order customer for El Habano Moderno or a related product. We wanted to share with you the last update we gave to our Kickstarter backers about this project. If you would like to view the update directly, with more photos of the book, you can find that here.


Please believe me when I say no one is more anxious than we are for these books to be finished and in your hands. More than a decade of love and work from author Alexander Groom and nearly two years of blood, sweat, and tears from him and the small team at Helios. We know that it has taken longer than any of you wanted. We have faced paper shortages and global shipping challenges and, I confess, not a small number of self-inflicted delays - but those all in the interests of getting it right, of making the book as accurate, as complete, as readable, and as beautiful as we can.

I am confident that we have achieved that. We received the final pre-bindery proofs this week and wanted to share some images with you. Our printers still need to bind the books and finish the boxes for the Collector's Edition books, but we are getting very close to the finish now, and cannot wait to share these books with you. We think they are going to exceed your expectations. We are sure they are going to have been worth the wait.

As ever, we will be in touch as soon as we have any news to share, and certainly the very moment we have estimated delivery dates for you. Thank you again for your patience, and for the kind messages of support we have received from many of you.

   

Best,

Alexander Groom & Helios House Press
