3x3 Illustration Annual No. 13 Update

The number thirteen comes with a lot of baggage and once again we’ve been plagued with a snafu.

The Annual went to press on schedule in mid-November just about the time our printer, unbeknownst to us, decided to install a new system. Well, as things happen, the system had bugs in it that had to be resolved. Delay #1.

Then it seems one of the presses was down. Delay #2.

Then they sent the sample copies to the wrong address and had to send them again, Delay #3.

And last Monday we got the word that they were finally printed, bound and ready to ship...but for some reason they didn’t, they shipped today. Delay #4.

Our apologies to our customers, it's deeply embarrassing for us. And it meant lost newsstand and bookstore sales in December.

The good news for us is that we won’t be printing another job with that printer, and we also won’t be printing another Annual 13.

The good news for you is that the Annual is on its way.
