Good evening! 

Just now, the Limited Edition Slipcases have arrived and they look amazing! I'll be prepping them for shipment ASAP so I ask for everyone to check to ensure you have the correct shipping addresses. I'll be starting to ship things after the shipping materials arrive next week.

Keep in mind that this Limited Edition item will be shipping on its own to ensure it is arrives undamaged. If you ordered other books with your limited slipcase they will be shipping separately.
