I haven't heard what the delay is from Centipede but I'd bet the signing sheets have something to do with it. I've done this before with a multi-contributor book and it takes <em>ages</em> sending the sheets round to everyone. This box has to go to Germany next then on to Switzerland, having been on the road for a couple of months already. So, yeah, patience... Another thing: Harlan Ellison (who's done the intro) had some proof sheets on his site briefly, mostly pages from the earlier artists. This is a really complete overview of Lovecraft illustrated, pretty much definitive in terms of including the major Lovecraft artists from <em>Weird Tales</em> on. I'm really looking forward to seeing it, it will be worth the wait (and weight!). It looks very promising indeed since the print quality is excellent and the paper is heavyweight, coated stock.

This pisses me off, but if from what you've seen, it looks so promising then it will undoubtedly be worth the long wait. The book has been delayed again until April.
