TO THINE INBOXEN: Today we put the finishing touches on the annual preview and feature book, which means the program can now release updated rosters, the world of NIL can go lurch into its next major phase that nobody saw coming, and every opponent can find a game-changing transfer in the portal.

DIGITAL COPIES (PDF): Are NOW ON SALE. If you bought the pre-sale package your specified email should have that right now. If you didn't, you can go buy one here and get reading.

PRE-SALE PEOPLE THANK YOU! We had 1,890 people participate in the pre-sale, raising $113,852.80. Shipping is a huge chunk of that, but the rest is more than enough capital to pay our printer and writers. Thank you so very much. Your digital copies should be in your email *RIGHT NOW* (look for an email from me called "Hail to the Victors 2023: Your Digital Copy"). Your print copies and your t-shirts will be shipped together once we have the print copies. Mailing this many takes us several weeks once we have the books but you should expect stuff to be arriving by early August, and start shaking me down if it hasn't come by mid-August. Everything is going out from the UGP warehouse in Ypsilanti, and we should have tracking of individual orders. Keep in mind that the printer just got the files, the plates haven't been made, and everyone is on vacation right now so things will go a bit slowly.

PRINT COPIES: TRYING TO GET MORE. I have enough books to cover presales but at the moment not many more. Due to a national paper shortage—especially for the higher quality stuff we use—I could only secure enough for 2,000 copies, and when I've taken care of the writers that leaves us at less than a hundred. If the printer can scrounge up more paper we'll put print copies in the store; this conversation has to wait until after July 4 so I don't know if it's possible. If you messaged me about this before, I'll prioritize you for the few I'll have left. If you message me now I cannot.

E-BOOK VERSION: COMING. If you prefer to read on Kindle and can be a little patient, I am producing a version for that, but it takes me about a week or two to convert, and it takes Amazon another week to press a button and make it live. I've tried to do iBooks in the past but Apple is too hard to work with, sorry. If you have a different kind of e-reader, you can e-mail me and we can work something out.

T-SHIRT: WILL BE IN THE STORE. For those of you who asked if you can order 20 copies of this year's shirt, the answer is yes. Give me until after the holiday because I don't want to put too many people out in the last 10 minutes before the holiday.

BACK ISSUES AVAILABLE: I have (limited) copies of our 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 (1 left), 2016 (2 left, both a bit damaged), 2015, and the Hoops & Hockey book we did in 2013 for $20/each if you want to complete your collection. There's also a PSU book from 2014 when I tried to expand to them. Email me with what you're looking for, but be patient because I handle this year's business first.
