Not yet. According to their newsletter it's still not bound. I think they just got the signature sheets out.Quote:

This has nothing to do with the pandemic, either. It's just how they operate - although for the life of me I cannot understand why. Surely it would be better to say that a book will be out in a year and stick to that deadline than promise it'll be done in six months and then announce delay after delay.

As Pete shared this a couple of weeks ago, I think it's alright to post this here as well.
Does explain part of the way PS operate, I think....

Here’s a little something different for jaded eyeballs though, quite honestly, I could have done without all the excitement.
Following a cascade of medical meet-ups and several scans (DAT, MRI and suchlike, which involved me going back and forth through a piece of noisy and elaborate machinery resembling an aircraft engine), I was recently diagnosed with Dementia. Of course, many PS friends and customers have had their suspicions but now it’s official .
The specialist told Nicky and me that the symptoms point towards the Lewy Body type but is also borderline Parkinsons . . . so I’m in good company with Billy Connolly.
Thus my current situation has not been a total surprise to us as we have had our suspicions for a while and I’m guessing that others who have been in conversation with me at conventions etc may have guessed that something was not as it should be. In other words, I fear I was burbling even more incoherently than usual . . . hard to imagine, I know.
Anyhoo, I’m boldly moving forward through a barrage of potions ‘n’pills (umpteen colours and shapes which takes me back to my Mod days at the Twisted Wheel club in Manchester in the mid-1960s) so I’m enjoying dancing around PS Towers with Nicky to the strains of Smokey Robinson et al (before Hippydom, the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane called for me). And signs are already suggesting a reduction in the shake in my right hand which drives me bonkers at times (writing and keyboard use can be very challenging).
Meanwhile, we will be exploring various things to help with these elements (dictation is an obvious one but a totally new way for writing) ably assisted—as ever—by Nicky and Mike and Nick, Tamsin and Carole, Keith and Wendy, Robert and a host of other stalwarts from behind the scenes. I tell you, warriors the PS team continues with unabated enthusiasm.
So very sad to hear that. Best of luck, Pete. You are in my prayers.

So this is my annual call to try and complete my Stephen King PS Publishing Lettered set.
I am in search of LETTER P of THINNER. I have a numbered PC copy OF THINNER to trade or can do a straight purchase (for the right price)
And whilst I have your attention my mate if looking for LETTER G of CARRIE to complete his collection. He too has a numbered PC copy of CARRIE and/or would consider a straight purchase
Received a telephone call this afternoon from Peter, which was indeed a wonderful surprise.
He asked me to pass on his good wishes and compliments of the season to everyone.
Full of enthusiasm, buoyant and upbeat, it was as though nothing had altered or phased him at all. He was totally focused on the up and coming ‘Stand’, informing me that March / April 2021 was his aim for completion.
I am sure you will all join me in wishing both Peter and Nickie a very Merry Christmas and a continuation of their success in 2021.

Finally, as Pete has already mentioned here’s a little more info about THE DEAD ZONE.
As I’m sure you know not everything runs smoothly in the world of publishing (oh really!) heh!) and this week when we were preparing to post out copies of THE DEAD ZONE by Stephen King a manufacturing glitch was discovered. T
Still not managed to track down my LETTER P of THINNER.................someone somewhere must know where it is (please)
Got this from PS today

Does anyone know the status of The Dead Zone? I know there was some sort of issue with some copies, I never did get mine so assuming it was defective. What was the problem and when might we get the replacements?
If i recall correctly, PS were going to send them about Christmas.
And then Brexit happened?
