Edition withdrawn from publication

The edition "Journey to Virginland: Catena" that was scheduled for a November 2013 publication date has been withdrawn by the author from publication. There are no printed copies of this book on the market or anywhere else for that matter. The copies listed by various sellers are all Advance Reader Copies. Some readers still prefer to read this edition given the fact that this is the latest one. There are no significant differences, however, between this edition and the earlier hardcover editions of "Journey to Virginland: Epistle I" in my opinion.

The hardcover editions are out of print. The few copies left on Amazon websites here in the U.S. and Europe are possibly the only brand new copies available (China and Japan may perhaps have a copy or two). The book will not be reprinted again. The author doesn't even have the original files anymore. Barnes & Noble is also out of copies. Ingram has used up all its copies, and to my knowledge no distributor or wholesaler has any copies left either. The "New" copies listed in the Amazon and Barnes & Noble Marketplaces are not always brand new copies. I believe either the requirements for branding a copy "New" by these conglomerates for their Marketplace vendors are not strict enough, or some vendors abuse their privileges by branding used copies as "New." Discretion is advised.

The Amazon "More on the way" note for "Epistle I" is an error. It's a default note. There are no more brand new copies anywhere to the best of my knowledge, except for the small number of copies in the author's possession. Some used copies in the market may still be in very good condition.
