John Warwicker: The Floating World
ok... I'm reeeeealy confused here.

I remember this was supposed to be released AGES ago. Like maybe even before the UW greatest hits (or even to coincide w/ the release of In the Belly of St Paul) Then online stores like Amazon kept pushing back the release date over and over again

and if I remember correctly, the book was even moved by amazon into my 'wish list' b/c there was (eventually) no set release date

then, I was 'cleaning up' my shopping cart on Amazon, and I accidentally clicked on the link for the book

...lo and behold - someone's actually selling a copy as "Used - Like New"
but was it ever released?

...and they're actually selling the book for $136.00

so - was the book released, and announced on the forums, but I just somehow missed it?

or - was the book released, but sort of 'under the radar' even for us dirties?

says "Publication date: September 2007"

but maybe you could try some of these sellers instead of amazon?
edit: or even better these for UK

Re: John Warwicker: The Floating World
thanks for the links

but it still sort of begs the question

why was it delayed for sooooooooo long and - if it is being published next month, why no announcement, etc for us dirties?

...and well - if it's not published until next month, how are so many people selling it

Re: John Warwicker: The Floating World
Well, on the new Tomato site this article (click on the article title) has a few new pictures and says "summer 2008" for the release date. Also, it's 400 pages.

Re: John Warwicker: The Floating World
on that page this is john's reply:

Thanks for your numerous enquiries about when the book will finally be published.
The latest is early August.
The reason for the delay is rather convoluted. The book was finished 3 years ago.
I was visiting Australia with the family and planned to return to London with the
intention of then going to Germany, to Steidl, to supervise the printing. A couple
of domestic calamities extended the stay by several months and I simply missed
my ’slot’ in the ever-busy print schedule. Couple this with the added complexity
of its production (6 different paper stocks) and the fact that we had to move to
Melbourne meant that the whole process dragged on. And on, and on …




hope that helps


keepyour eyes peeled....

Re: John Warwicker: The Floating World
The latest word now is mid-Dec. for publication. For John's sanity's sake, I hope it makes it.
