    Update from my publishers at RGE:

    It'll be a few weeks before I know for sure when the reprint will be out. I'm currently telling people 2-3 months, based on the printer's schedule when we are ready, and transportation time. As soon as I can, I'll offer some kind of special or whatever Viktor and I decide on.

    I'd buy an hard-copy BJA4 (AND a Kindle version, if available).


    Don, any extra discount on a soft-cover book     AND Kindle package?

    To NFL newbies: Please perform your own analysis. Confirm any stats presented. Draw your own conclusions.

    Handicapping is EXTREMELY hard! All statistical evidence (and game insights) may indicate strongly a specific outcome, winner, or continuing trend; but a turn-over, a missed field goal, an erroneous call, a key injury, etc. can easily change the outcome, the margins, and/or the totals. Division rivalry games and games with playoff implications are highly unpredictable.

    To my knowledge, none of the pricing/specials/packages, etc. have been decided yet by the publishers.

    I am sure from an author's standpoint, you will say yes, but do we need to have read the first 2 editions before the 3rd?

    Wrong!

    "but do we need to have read the first 2 editions before the 3rd?"

    Absolutely not. This isn't a trilogy. The third edition contains everything in the first two editions and much, much more.

    Three months has passed. Where is this book, 3rd or 4th edition, either one?

    Read the forewords/introductions.
    "One of these days in your travels, you are going to come across a guy with a nice brand new deck of cards, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not take this bet, for if you do, as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an ear full of cider."

    The book is at the printer. But, there was a problem with some of the blue-line proofs (quality of the resolution), and Viktor and Bettie are addressing the issue.

    I keep telling you all the same thing: the minute that I know when the book will be available, you will know the next minute.
