My name is Wisdom Kim and for the past few decades, you showed us why we should never play cards with strangers with your books. There won't be any refunds at all. Absolutely not.

Any further news on the release of this book, this seems like it is taking an age to come out????

Daren, I'm sure that as soon as Darwin knows he will let us know. Right now he is at the mercy of the printer. When waiting for something we want it ALWAYS seems like it takes forever.

Yeah true, every day seems like a week! lol

Pre-ordered and waiting!!!

I just this moment received word from the printer that the books are expected to ship from them to me on December 12th. It should then take about a week for the books to reach me. At that point I will start shipping copies (as fast as I can!) to all who pre-ordered. This will all, unfortunately, coincide with the Christmas mail rush, but I’ll do my best.

I want to apologize to all who pre-ordered for the long delay. I can only say that when I initially made the offer I had no reason to believe that it would take this long. (It all had to do with some problem with the dust jacket, which to this day no one has been able to adequately explain to me.)

I will continue to accept pre-orders until the book is actually in my hands, which, as indicated above, should be about December 18th.

Thank you all for your patience.

Sincerely,
Darwin Ortiz

I just want to let everyone know that I spoke to the printer today and everything is on schedule. The books will ship to me on December 12th. I should receive them about a week later. I’ll then immediately start filling orders. I will honor the pre-order offer until the books are in my hands.

Sincerely,
Darwin Ortiz

It's good to have an update of that!!! Thanks for the efforts, Mr. Ortiz

I just want to let everyone know that Lessons in Card Mastery arrived yesterday slightly ahead of schedule. Copies will start going in the mail on Monday. (I’ll ship in the order that I received your orders. Those who ordered first will receive their copies first.)

I said that I would honor the pre-order offer until December 18th, so I’ll stick to that.

Sincerely,
Darwin Ortiz

Great news, look forward to receiving this, thanks again Darwin

Thank you for the updates Mr. Ortiz. I hope you're not having a hectic time before Christmas.

Great news.Can't wait to receive my copy.

Just placed my order today. Excited to read it! I really hope Darwin reprints his cardshark book.

My copy arrived today. A new Darwin Ortiz book is the perfect thing to get snowed in with...shame it is so warm here in the north east.

This might be the first time I have been jealous of someone for getting a book before me.

Randy, your order went out this morning. I’ve already shipped a lot of orders, but there are still a lot more to go. All I can do is to keep shipping as many books each day as I can until they’re done. They’re going out in the order in which I received the orders.

I hope that everyone enjoys the book when they receive it.

Sincerely,
Darwin Ortiz

Sweet! I've got a whole week of vacation coming up in a couple days. (Been working hard on memdeck in prep for this.) I feel like a little kid at Christmas time:)

Thanks for the update. (I sure hope my jealousy comment wasn't taken as a complaint or annoyance. I meant it all in good fun.)

Now...time to find a baby sitter that will work over the holidays so I don't get interupted.

Randy,

I absolutely didn’t take your comment as a complaint. Now it occurs to me that my response may have sounded defensive, which I didn’t’ intend. I simply wanted to bring everyone up to date as to where things stand right now.

Sincerely,
Darwin

I was very pleasantly suprised to find the book sitting in my mailbox today.

Cannot wait to dive into it.

No worries...now if those new PX90 DVDs would show up I might be able to lose a few pounds over the holidays as well;)
