No idea, nobody tells me nuthin' around here....neither Amazon nor Taschen. Well who would wanna buy a book that is in GERMAN, anyway! (see under "Language") And only 250 Pages! (it's actually 336)

Well they DO have a good price for it. And on their preview pages you still have a last chance to see the OLD lay out, before it got white-walled.

The cover is not going to be padded, but CLOTH, with no dust cover. :) I have never seen a sample, so I do not know if it will be a slick, plastiky cloth imprint type of surface, or REAL, rough, hairy cloth.....or somewhere in between.

And the size will be slightly larger than the BOT......which I had used as a template to write the text, and after all was laid out, they suddenly decided to make the book much larger! Which blew up the damn type so much that it looked like text in a children's book! I mean all TikiphiIes are arrested in childhood, but don't rub it in! I had a mild panic attack, and so they shrunk it back a little, but not to BOT size.

I will know more (and will post some pics) once I have my own advance copy. Don't ask me when that will be, though.
