pacesetter #4

[Tony]

Hi, everyone, I've finally got final numbers on print run for PACESETTER #4, the material was sent to the printers today so I would say the printing process should start by the middle to the end of next week, it's going to be an awesome issue. Thanks for all the support. Now I'm hard at the next issue, #5, the issue that celebrates George's 30 years in comics, I've got some big names on tap to contribute features. More to come later.

Hi everyone, I've been getting e-mails of when PACESETTER #4 (TITANS ISSUE) will be out, just got off the phone today with my printers and after about 3 weeks of production problems, for some reason the some of the page plates were printing a different size, but we got it fixed. He said the printing should be done July 7, really about two weeks later than I projected, I'm going to start getting the packages ready, then all I need is George and Carol to sign the books and the books will be mailed, sorry about the delay and thanks for the support.

Hi everyone, just trying to keep everyone updated on PACESETTER #4, I just got the tracking number, and I will receive my copies Friday, later than I wanted, but I'm going to have to deal with it. So the books should go out very soon, everyone that has ordered so far package are made up and are ready for the books to be shipped, thanks for the support everyone. Tony L

Hi, I've got good news and bad news, I received two of the three boxes yesterday, I was off today waiting all day for the third package that never came. I then got on the phone with Fed Ex, the third package was damage and undeliverable, so I'm short about 100 copies until the printer can print me more which he said he would put it on priority, so I would get them pretty fast. This e-mail is going out to the people that order multiple copies, to see if I can just send one or two copies now and send the rest when I get the new batch from the printers, this would really help me out in filling as many orders as I can, any help would be great and thanks for the support. By the way I' going to George's Sunday, shipping will start Monday. Tony L

Hi everyone, just want to let every one know that I have shipped all US orders today and over the next few days I will fill all foriegn and contributers orders. I really wanted to thank those who had multi copy orders and allowing me to ship partial orders until I get the remaining books from the printers, 100 copies were destroyed in shipping. By doing this really halps me fill as many orders as possible. Sorry about the inconvience. Tony Lorenz

Vu thanks for the comments, although I don't agree with you on the quality of the printing, I looked at the issue and compared it to previous issue and I think the quality is much better, now I wish I could afford a more expensive printing process, I just can't. I'm very proud of the issue, with the last two issue, I've added another step to the printing, cost more, but I think is worth it. I need everyone's feedback, good and bad. There were a couple mistakes that were not fixed. 1. Danny DeAngelo should have been credited in the roll call for art that was in the Gallary, sorry Danny. 2. The question of the issue should have been changed, the Wonder Woman issue has been moved to #6. 3. Michael Rudolph is listed as from Canada not Australia, sorry Michael, probably surprise you that you moved.

Just to let you know, I'm mailing a bunch of packages out tomorrow (International and contributers). Thanks for the support everyone. Tony Lorenz

Hi everyone, shipped out 25 or so packages, mainly foriegn and contributor copies.For those that have read the new issue let's here some feedback, good and bad. Tony L

[Tony]

I have to make a correction, you will not receive a print if you order copies now, you only receive a print when you advance ordered the issue, it was an extra bonus for ordering from me, you can still order the issue but you must add postage and there is no free print, sorry about the confusion.

Hi, my continuing effort to keep everyone informed, I am now out of books and I am waiting for the balance that I am missing to be reprinted and shipped to me, no info yet from my printers, I'll pass it along. All advance orders have been shipped and most contributers too, I need Bill Walko address so I can get his package out to him. I I still have a few new orders and contributers copies to ship as soon as I get them and get them signed by George and his wife, I'll will get them out to those who haven't received them. I do apologize for the inconvience and really want to thank you for all your support. Tony L

Talk to my printers yesterday, the printing is done on the books that were damage, he tells me that I should receive them hopefully by Next Friday, then I just have to get up with George and his wife then I can finish shipping the books I still owe. Thanks for the support. Tony L

You would think it would be a good day when I got home from work to see to packages, one listing 4 books the other the other 96, the replacement books from the package that got damaged in shipping. I was so happy to receive the boxes that I jumped right on the phone with George to set up a day and time to have the new copies signed not even opening the boxes yet. Well when I got off the phone with George I began to open the boxes, first I open the box with 4 books and they were fine, I then open the big box that was suppose to have 96 copies, well they were only 63 copies in the box and the copies look like a frieght train hit them, every single copy was completely damaged, my blood pressure pretty much went through the roof. At first I was thinking maybe this was the first shipment of the damage copies. I got on the phone with my printers and gave him the package number to my dismay this was the new printing. My printers think there is something fishy going on at FX. So to make a long terriable story short. The books is going back to the printers and he tells me that I can get them in 2 to 3 weeks. I'm really sorry there is nothing else I can do. I will send out what orders I can. Any questions, you can e-mail me at [e-mail] Tony Lorenz
