23 September 2006: The publication of Vol. 3 is delayed until October 2006.
14 June 2006: The publication of Vol. 3 is delayed until August 2006. Judy Crandall (the publisher) explains that the reason to the delay is that when she received the colour proofs from the printer, she was not satisfied and returned them to the printer and asked them to rework it. (Now that might be Eagle Editions in a nutshell: Maybe not always fast, but indeed very careful about quality! I think we can all expect a book of the highest printing quality from Eagle Editions when Black Cross/Red Star Vol. 3 is released. I was very impressed with what they did with the Graf & Grislawski book, but I can tell you that the printouts for Black Cross/Red Star Vol. 3 which they sent me really surpasses the G&G book in terms of layout etc. Hope people will like the contents too...)
9 April 2006: Volume 3 is being printed at this moment and will be out very soon... Black Cross/Red Star, Volume 4 - the next volume in this series - is more or less completed. On 28 March 2006 the publisher, Eagle Editions, sent me this: "I think it would be best for you to deliver BCRS#4 when you can, just know that when you have it done, we are ready to work on it. Also, I have had some questions as to how many volumes will be in this series, do you know? Folks are looking forward to their collection of BCRS so we will be able to provide them with that as you and Claes are ready." I plan to do about eight volumes in the Black Cross/Red Star series.
