They are too swamped and behind with projects, I believe, and although I have to admit that I am behind with finishing the text, the lay out is all done, and they could have pushed it through with much less of a delay. But they finally decided to delay til next year, even after listening to my numerous protests and arguments. The good news is that they bought my lay out, and it will be the proven eye candy "horn of plenty" again. I am happy to say the book will definitely hold its own next to the Book of Tiki. Damn it would have been just the right kind of shot in the arm by this fall. Sigh. I am sending this out to all of you from Munich, Germany, where I will film 'til the end of May. I am not asking for condolences, I just wanted to keep everyone updated. Have a blast at the Oasis, I'll be there in spirit- Your bummed Sven
