Our printer has informed us that our new book “The Joiner and Cabinet Maker” will ship to us on Oct. 29 or 30, which means we should start shipping all the pre-orders to customers next week.
If you filled out a pre-order form, you will receive an e-mail from us next week where we will get your credit card information and ask if you want to also receive the companion DVD. You can read more about the DVD here.
We’ll be selling this DVD separate from the book for $10. Or you can buy the book bundled with the DVD for $34. And you’ll be able to buy the book alone for $29.
The other fun news is that the first 900 orders for “The Joiner and Cabinet Maker” will also receive a free temporary tattoo, shown on one of my daughter’s arms above. (I would show the tattoo that’s on my arm, but it’s a bit too furry for a family-friendly blog.) The tattoos are 1-1/4″ wide and 2-1/4″ tall. They feature the dividers shown in Joseph Moxon’s “The Art of Joinery.”
And thanks to all of you who have pre-ordered our new book. I think you’re going to enjoy the book as much as we have.

How do you accept payment for the pre-orders? Do you have something like a PayPal account? I’d rather not send a credit card number via e-mail.
Kevin,
You won’t be asked to send a credit card via e-mail. We have a secure server that will process all the orders via a standard shopping cart. It is 100 percent secure. We’ve never had a problem since the day we opened shop.

If I filled in the pre-order form and just got the automated feedback information email, but nothing more, am I still all set? I filled it out about two weeks ago. I wasn’t sure if things were getting batched and managed on a regular basis or I should expect another email to come. I wasn’t asked if also wanted to receive the companion DVD.
Thanks!
Michael
I was told it would be available in Canada through Lee Valley – is the DVD also going to be included through them, too, or should I preorder?
Daniel,
Lee Valley will have both the book and DVD. So you can order from them with confidence that you’ll get the whole enchilada.
Chris
Can i buy just the tattoo?
Phil,
What the heck.
We added them to the store tonight.

Thanks

Great post =]
Chris, I filled out a preorder form back on 09/18/2009, but have heard nothing. (today is 11/25/2009). I would still like to order a book. Can you help?
