This just in from the folks at Subterranean Press:

"You can let everyone know the 'Backup' reprint is done and will ship
next week. At this point, we have orders for 2500 more copies than are
in the reprint, so some wholesalers, etc. are going to be shorted.
We're also pulling the book from our site, so folks' best bets might
be Amazon at this point.  --Bill"


Note that Subterranean Press is NOT planning a third hardcover
printing.  If you want a copy, get your order in now!

Buy "Backup": http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1596061820/iagonet
