My first return post since the forum revamp is sadly an argumentative one, but circumstances warrant it.
James, don’t be stupid. And get over yourself.
Skyhorse are in the phone book. And their contact phone number in New York is openly listed on their website.
Since those of us who find publication delays for an unfinished book written by an author who died seven months ago before he could complete the volume to be nothing surprising, why not call Skyhorse directly and ask them when the book is coming out?
You could even tell them that you’re a published author on the subject and that you’re keen to review and promote the book online. They often send out advance copies for reasons along those lines. They have an entire office and staff set up to take queries, so they’re presumably not going to tell you to go away. This is if you can resist the urge to call them CIA assets who happen to publish hundreds of volumes on JFK and 9/11 but who are too timid to chuck a paperback into the dwindling print market that contains a chapter alleging Otto Skorzeny’s involvement in the JFK hit. Feel free to investigate rather than endlessly watching the Amazon publication date. Skyhorse are at 212-643-6816.
Or you could get in touch with Dick Russell. He’s also online. And I’m assuming he’s read most or all of the book, as he wrote an introduction for it. If you can’t reach him, contact Joan Mellen. She knows him and her email is a public one. She writes back, too.
If you’re so down on the rest of us, you could move things forward by doing any of the above. If you choose not to do it, out of paranoia or laziness, that’s really on you, not us.
Albarelli’s book was only completed by co-author Sharp a handful of months ago btw. When Peter Dale Scott wrote THE ROAD TO 9/11 it spent a year with UCal legal before they finally indexed it and sent it off to the printers. I know Trine Day pumps out multiple volumes with a varying success ratio at keeping the typographical errors out of their work - and I have evidence of that varying success rate on my shelves - but some publishers take longer.
Out of curiosity, since you’re down on Skyhorse, how do you feel their Weisberg reprint series compares to Trine Day’s efforts to promote the work of Judyth Baker? I know of at least one other forum of researchers, some of whom also post here, where the former author receives plaudits and the latter writer elicits groans. So is Kris Millegan a proven CIA asset for foisting Baker’s nonsense on the public, or is he just cynically trying to make some bucks? I haven’t seen many Skyhorse JFK books aggravate researchers as much as Bakers’ books from Trine Day have. Some people might even call that indefensible.
Please call Skyhorse before the May publication date of Albarelli’s book if you remain curious as to what’s going on with it, I’ve spoken briefly to Leslie Sharp, but haven’t spoken to Skyhorse, so you might find out things we don’t know, if you can be bothered to pick up the phone and ask.
