GEORGE PEREZ - STORYTELLER: THE FIRST 30 YEARS HC (2007)

DISCLAIMER: My Storyteller update has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MR. GEORGE PEREZ. Obviously, this is a book ABOUT George Perez for his legions of fans, not BY George Perez so the delay has NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM. George Perez as a creator is nothing less than an ABSOLUTE, CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL who is good to his fans and admired by professionals and readers everywhere. This delay once again, is not due to Mr. Perez since this book is ABOUT him, not BY him.

Just wanted to give you an update, I called Dynamic Forces (www.dynamicforces.com) yesterday to find out if Storyteller was on schedule for October as announced and they said no. Still won't be out for a couple of months, this from Angelo Barrucci, Media Coordinator. You know, we're coming up on this book being solicited an entire YEAR ago. Last time I spoke with them was in March and they SWORE the book was at the printer to be shipped the following month. So what happened, they yanked the book back from the printer? I asked this of Mr. Barrucci and all he had to say was, 'Uh... Uh... Uh... no comment.'

As a consumer who already PREPAID for this book, I don't know where a publisher has the AUCACITY to solicit for a book that quite obviously was no where NEAR DONE. A year has gone by and nothing. More and more publishers are doing this and by soliciting for a product that quite obviously you are no where NEAR completing or PRINTING, making consumers pay for merchandise that they clearly have no intention of shipping is not only FALSE ADVERTISING but just plain FRAUD and THIEVERY.

I don't mean to be so strong but as a company, DYNAMIC FORCES had NO BUSINESS soliciting for this project, doing major press on it in places like COMIC SHOP NEWS where it was COVER FEATURED, when they would take well over a year to complete it.

Shame on them as a business and any consumer should BUYER BEWARE with this company going forward.
