@Luke, it is deeply saddening to read your posts about Philippa and her tragic passing. Words fail me. However, I think of you with understanding and sympathy and wish you strength to endure the time ahead.

I've had no luck reaching out to Luke for weeks and weeks. Can only hope he's all right.

When does the English school-year begin?  Perhaps he has been busy with that (?).

I just tried to contact Luke via FaceBook, then I thought of checking the status of his book, published in February.

According to Amazon,it is already out-of-print!!!

The former in red says the publication date was June 2024, and that they are "awaiting stock, usually despatches (sic) within 3 - 5 days," while the latter in blue says "published July 3, 2025, usually dispatched within 3 to 6 months." 

So something is awry somewhere!

Despatched is the spelling Prestoclassic uses.
Apparently British usage avoids shipped.

That's worrying. Thanks for letting us know Karl.

Ditto. I very much hope Luke's okay.

Further Googling reveals several British bookstores list it as "supplier delay", "available from the publisher", "awaiting delivery", or similar phrasing. The official publication date seems to be 3 July 2025.

Perhaps Luke is simply busy trying to get the publisher to publish, and the distributor to distribute.

I've been thinking of him and was thinking of reaching out, although I do not have any contact information other than a PM here and his FB account, which has been idle for years. It is distressing to hear that he has not been responsive.

End of August/beginning of September
