The Pike book is in its second printing and I still don't have my Coffee book, which I paid for at the same time as the first Pike book. What gives?

Hello, The writing of these books concerning each county in Alabama began about three years ago. There are many counties which have already been published, many which have been published and are being republished, many in the stages of completion, and some yet to be done. These books were not all began at the same time. Mr. Bice traveled across the state of Alabama east to west, county to county, beginning in the northern part of the state......working his way down. Pike is north of us, so they would have published ahead of us. For instance, I purchased my Heritage of Morgan County, AL back in early 1999. It has reprinted two or three times. Also, I believe the deadline for Coffee county kept getting postponed due to different reasons: such as the death of our Society President, Mr. Roy Schoffner, the illness of the publisher (cancer), the illness of the publisher's daughter (cancer), and several other valid reasons for postponement. I would like to commend the ladies and gentlemen at the Pea River Historical and Genealogical Society and the Heritage Book Committee for their time and effort in colating this book for us. These people volunteered their time to gather the stories from all of us, to proof the work, to colate and then proof the work again for publication, and get this information to the publisher for publication. Thank you, folks! The last time I visited the publisher's website, it stated that the book was in the last stage. *shrugs* I do not the exact date the books will be distributed, but I do know that we WILL get our books. Though we have all been patient thusfar, we will just have to continue to be patient until we receive our books. No amount of impatience will complete the publishing any quicker. Take care.
