#26 Fall of Blood Mountain taking ages to arrive.

Well, that was faster than the last time: got it exactly 3 weeks after placing my order. So people living in North America, if you've ordered a book from Holmgard Press in the past few weeks, you should get it soon!

Books 18, 21, and 22 were released by Holmgard Press prior to Joe's death.

They were not released by Holmgard Press but Mantikore Verlag. Book 23 was scheduled to be released by this German publisher but when Joe decided to move to Cubicle 7 (which, a month later, decided in turn to NOT print the gamebooks, leading to Joe creating Holmgard Press), the book was ready to be released. After publishing book 29, Holmgard Press released the Collector's Edition of book 23 as it was. This explains why of all the books released by Holmgard Press, book 23 is the only one with a cover illustration not made by Alberto Dal Lago.

I just looked at my copies of 18, 21 and 22 and you are right, they do say Mantikore Verlag on them. Since they look so similar to the Holmgard Press editions, and I ordered them from magnamund.com before Joe's passing, I guess I just assumed. Thanks for the correction.
