has anyone heard any announcements about either of these?
i tried contacting hippocampus a few times, and received no response.
i know that, at some point, they were due in march... but that's long come and gone.
any word?

The prose is being handled by Night Shade. The first two volumes of verse are supposed out sometime within the next couple of months, I believe.

and tha's what iget for posting while tired.
i menat osay 'poetry and translations,' not 'poetry and prose.'

There's now cover art for vols. 1 & 2 at www.hippocampuspress.com . There's also some information on a new book, THE HASHISH-EATER, which IIRC subscribers to the poetry set will get as a bonus book.

The cover-art is nice but when are they shipping? Also they posted the art for The Atlantis Fragments.

Anyone know when they are shipping...really shipping?

I spoke to Derrick in person on June 21, and he said that the books were at the printers. My favourite bookdealer (Hi Gavin S!) tells me that I should have my copies very soon.

Great news! I can't wait to read these!

And today I received an e-mail from S. T. Joshi saying that he has received his free copies. :-D
They're so close I can smell them! (Unfortunately, I'm visiting my folks until late next week, so it'll be some time before I can get to the post office and pick up the books)

The publisher emailed me a few days ago and said they were putting mine in the mail along with the bonus cd and Hashish Eater book. They also stated when Atlantis Fragments would ship...but I deleted the email. It was either late July or sometime in August.

I'll get back home on Friday, and then I'll be able to get to the post office on Saturday (if, indeed, the package has arrived). Argghh... the... wait...

Glad to hear about The Atlantis Fragments -- both those dates seems equally plausible. The HPL/AWD letters seems to be the latest release.

(Cool thing about The Atlantis Fragments: Anyone who preordered will get his or her name listed in an appendix in the book. :-) )

I have them!!! They do in fact exist my friends!!! Volumes 1&2 shipped along with the pre-order bonus of the Hashish Eater with cd.

:)

And I received my copies from Joshi a couple of days ago. A typically fine HP production.

Received my copies today, and I would like to say kudos to Hippocampus, not only for the fine books, but for the packaging as well. The post office really did a number on this delivery; one side of the box was caved in. Thanks to Hippocampus' packing, the books remained unscathed. Always a great job from them.

And I'm still staking out the mailbox... Oh well, I've waited since 1995; I can take a couple of days more.
