Alexander is one of the good guys in magic.
The book may be late. But it will be great. |

Anybody else getting nervous about this book? I spoke with Christopher at Lybrary about a time frame. He has yet to receive the material from Alexander so no time frame can be given.

Im his fan, genius ideas and great contributions he has made to magic.
This is one of the books really want to add to the library but never ordered because of the first delay... only hope when he releases we can all order and receive. https://solidmagic.org/notas/ does not work anymore... weird.. Thank you Alexander, hope everything is ok with you! |

Folks, just wanted to comment publicly. First of all, I can confirm that Lybrary.com, and with this I myself, stand behind Alexander de Cova's Notas book and we will produce and print it. There are good reasons for the delay which I will leave for Alex to explain or not explain. They are of personal nature. Everything that Alex has released over the years has been exceptional and Notas will be no different. It could very well become his Magnum Opus. I do not have a timeline and it may still take a good amount of waiting, but I am sure the waiting will be more than worth it.
In the meantime, those who are not familiar with Alexander de Cova, or those who want to study some of the incredible material this man has already released, go here https://www.lybrary.com/alexander-de-cova-m-225193.html His Scrapbook series is wonderful. His "Lager Switch" is as clean a move as it can be. (Please be aware that some of the products listed in the link above are in German and some in English. The language of the product description is the language of the product itself.)

I will repeat what I already wrote: "I do not have a timeline and it may still take a good amount of waiting." When I have news I will post it here.

Delays in magic are common (sadly) when it comes to magic books. I guess this is publishing a book is often a one-man operation in magic.
It might be depressing to hear this but in my experience it is only worth "checking in" every 6 months or so. That tends to be the pace at which things happen when a book is delayed. Hopefully this book will be ready sooner than that. Either way - it should be great. It is great as well that Chris is standing behind the book as well. He is one of the most honourable people in magic. That is something I know for a fact. Joe Mckay |

Here is the latest update from Alexander de Cova.
"I am having the last texts proofread by Russell J. Hall, finally an editor who works and fulfils the promises! I had real difficulties finding someone who would do the task. Mark Elsdon recommended him to me. So I would say we are 95% through the works on the book. As written Chris Wasshuber will be doing all the printing/sending and the digital versions as well." |

Here is an email update that Alexander sent out today:
------------ Dear friends! First of all, thank you so much for your patience. The NOTAS book you ordered is shortly before being ready. Due to my diabetes diagnosis, the life-style change, and other unexpected things, this turned out to be a nightmare for me. But things are better now, and — the most important thing that kept me from finishing the work — I finally found an excellent editor with Russell J. Hall, who is working perfectly with me. We are finishing the lasts texts. Enclosed is a sneak preview version as PDF, where you can have a presentiment of how the whole project will be like. I estimate that I am finished within the next 10 days with the layout (as you can see, all is in the layout already, all photos are done, and I am really only waiting the lasts texts. It will be about 350 pages, and Chris Wasshuber from lybrary.com will handle the printing, the shipping, and the digital versions, which you all get from him in addition to your printed book. I hope this is some good news for you all, and I deeply apologize again for this massive delay. But finally, it will be only a short time left. Best wishes, Alexander P.S.: There is so much material that we will have to make a second volume of NOTAS. ---------------- |

Very much looking forward to the book being printed - perhaps may come in time for Christmas this year.
I am sure it will be well worth the wait. |

Here is a short update from Chris Wasshuber:
"There are a couple of bigger projects I am involved in. One is Alexander de Cova's “Notas” book. This work had been announced quite a while back by Alexander, but it is now finally in the proofreading stage. That means we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. However, don't get too excited just yet, because proofreading takes time if it is done carefully. But progress is real and it is a book that will definitely be published. I can also say it is awesome..." |

Was wondering whether anyone knew of progress on Notas? - as noted above it was at proofreading stage over 6 months ago (and presumably can continue in 'lockdown' - perhaps even giving a better opportunity to focus on checking it)?
