There's probably 50 or 60 new JFK assassination books coming out on Amazon over the next few months, not counting the handful of electronic-only volumes (i.e ebooks) that are also being listed. A dozen of those are from Skyhorse, covering new books from Ventura and Russell, Patrick Nolan's volume fingering the CIA, Jim D's Parkland volume, Joan Mellen's expanded FAREWELL TO JUSTICE and reprints of titles by Scott, Weisberg (several), Meagher and Fonzi. You could pretty much fill a bookshelf with the various JFK assassination volumes Skyhorse is bringing to market in the next 14 weeks. If Skyhorse passed on Joseph McBride's volume (or Joseph never felt the need to submit it, being happier with Hightower) it probably has less to do with Skyhorse judging the latter volume too hot to handle, and more to do with the company already pressing their printing and shipping logistics (plus promotional efforts) past breaking point on the subject. Skyhorse has a lovely, elegant looking hardcover of THE LAST INVESTIGATION coming out shortly, and at any other point in time it would be worthy of a substantial promotional push all by itself. At the moment, however, it'll probably be drowned out by the others appearing alongside it.
The fact that INTO THE NIGHTMARE is only available through marketplace (rather than Amazon direct) has led me to place it further back down the queue than I would have liked. I tend to buy a bunch of books at a time, but for ITN I'll have to swallow a sizeable international postage charge just for that volume alone. (Another friend of mine in Melbourne has already bugged me this week as to when I'll be getting it, as he wants to check out my copy).
