Are English publication pre-orders being taken?

I have gone to B&D publishing.
Is there a way to place a pre-order on this book?


I think this would be valuable so as to ensure that you have enough copies on hand for the demand.

This book has quite a following and I would love to reserve a copy today.

Can this be an option for your site, or can you put me down for a book Herr Maerz?

Regards,
JustinG

Hi Justin,

thank you for the kind words. I will start the pre-publication sale at the SOS or shortly thereafter. By that point in time I should have a better idea about the actual publication date. As I sit here I am working on page 427 - being nearly 50% done with the translation. The progress is nice and it is a pleasure to produce a nice volume (and a very thick one!) for the collectors of these stunning badges!

I received a German copy of the book today, and I'll be glad to have the English version sitting next to it!

[John R.]

Yes, I think the English edition will be a great resource.

Looking forward to grabbing this one as well.

At least all the KM badges will be contained in ONE book. Glad I don't have to buy 2 or 3 books to get the same result

A short update:

- book has been translated
- the first 7 chapters have been amended, corrected, checked and counterchecked
- they are now in proofreading

I am checking right now whether it will be one volume or two. I most likely will go with two since the book has now 1024 pages (that is about 100 more).

I will most likely go for a printed cover in a slip case for the regular edition.

There will be a very limited Leather Edition in two volumes also and also in a leather slip case.

The books will go to the printer latest end of June and will be available end of September. Pre-publication sale will start also end of June.

This has been quite a ride ....
