@Pamela-Fraley Just saw that it’s back up for pre-order for B&N with shipping in March.

My Amazon pre-order says it shipped and has a tracking number

@K-Flagg I have a valid tracking number too, arriving Wednesday, but when I click on "buy again" on amazon, the book does not appear. Strange.

Great job @Jake-Parker!

@burvantill no way!! When did you get it? Where is it available?

Yay!! It's arriving Thursday!!! I know October is Inktober month, but I might have to do another round after it arrives. Thank you Jake Parker!

@Cole-Rts I ordered it months ago off amazon before the drama happened. I just got it in the mail yesterday.

I watched 15 minutes of that video some months ago (which by the way, I found because of the name of jake in the title of the video) It was obvious from the first moment that that guy has to grow up and mature. Like Gary Vaynerchuk put it "There are people who want to build the taller building in the city tearing down the rest of the buildings". I blocked him, don want to waste one minute of energy listening to that guy crying.
You should do the same.

@burvantill dang! I knew I should’ve bought it!

@burvantill I preordered it too and I was told by Amazon to expect to it tomorrow. I just got an email today saying it was “undeliverable” and that I will be refunded. Did you also get it from Amazon? If not I want to try a different source.

@alexthoffman I pre-ordered from amazon June 12 and kept getting delayed shipment emails from them. I wrote chronicle and asked them about the release status and this was their reply on nov 23:
"The release has been put on hold indefinitely until the artists in question come to an agreement. Did you pre-order it through us directly? If not, I recommend asking for a refund from wherever you pre-ordered the book from."

Mine was delivered today--surely chronicle knew this Nov 23. I am very disappointed in chronicle's failure to support @Jake-Parker. I am glad I did not cancel my order, as I do not see it currently on amazon as available to order.

I have only glanced through it, but accusations that the drawings are not in Jake's style are ludicrous.
Looking forward to starting off 2021 with this book as a guide. I hope it will be available to everyone soon!

@alexthoffman dang. I got mine from amazon. That’s weird.

burvantill

@BichonBistro agreed. This has Jake Parker written all over it. I didn’t find any page to be anything other than a representation of everything I have learned from him. I love all of his little tips and advice throughout the book. Someday I’m gonna have to meet him in person and get him to sign it.

Same with me. I'm pretty disappointed about this and now it isn't available to re-order. Let me know if you find a different source.

Just got my book via UPS and Amazon and its 100% Jake...
What a mess this was and irrational to play that game.

Anyways, I love it so far. I didn't expect this much content!

Mine was just cancelled by Amazon as well.

sounds like a we sell the books we already printed and let it then be situation
@Jake-Parker
can you give any infos on the situation? in case its becoming a rare thing i would snatch it then too instead to wait a bit with it.

charitymunoz

It's here!! Thank you so much! There's a great deal of content and wonderful drawings for inspiration and quotes! I'm loving it! Of course, I can't read it fully just yet because my 10yo, newly-christened Inktober-ite has snatched it and isn't giving it back until she's made her first reading. From both of us, thank you so much @jake-parker!
