Did anyone else pre-order Loftin's book about A&M's move to the SEC?

I got an email from Amazon this morning that the order was cancelled. Can't remember if I paid for it or not when I pre-ordered it a few months back. Anyway, what's the delay?

Texas sued to have it pulled?

We won't publish it so they had to scramble to find a new publisher. You can get it here:

Looks like this Houston Chronicle article told me all I needed to know about what's in the book:

I don't understand what you mean here.

Typically they don't release a book until it gets enough pre-sales to make the best seller lists. Because they count all of the pre-sales as bought on one day. That's how most get on top sellers list.

Not saying that's the case here. Just the more you know...

think it was coming out of the A&M University Press and once Bow tie went to Mizzou he lost that avenue.

1. Wish we still had Bow Tie.
2. Hope to see that book sooner rather than later.

It's wildly popular and sure to sell hundreds of copies.

If you pre-ordered it on Amazon, then you were not charged. I got the same e-mail this morning.

Still I was waiting for this.
