I'm almost certain that's just an error, as as stated on the page too: it doesn't go on sale until boxing day.

No idea how quickly the 200 copies will sell out though! First day I imagine?.. He must surely have a few more than 200 fans (350 perhaps?!) That plus the mere $25 price tag to boot, as opposed to usual bank crippling prices which I'm sure put some people off the recent AS releases.

I've emailed Chip re: International postage and am awaiting a reply back. If he's okay with me buying multiple copies, I'll be happy to do that if it saves ££ for potential UK buyers. Just hoping I don't miss out on the Sotos x 9BB drop before the other hypebeasts get there first.

Crap, I just realized you were right!  There is still hope for me yet.

An extremely indepth and exhaustively researched Spanish language article about Peter Sotos, with particular regard to his music/audio credited work, was published just recently on the Argentinian website Metacultura and can be found here:

Música - Pornografía: La faceta sonora de Peter Sotos (Google translate does an ample job rendering it into English)

The authors Matías Bragagnolo and Mauricio Tomassetti have succeeded very well with correlating his history and recorded work into a readable and mostly accurate chronological timeline, with indepth biographical information about closely (and loosely) related musical groups to Sotos. They've also done an amazing job with breaking down his audio collages, especially with the subjects featured in them and their histories.

It's up for pre-order now on the Nine Banded Books website, although it seems the website has crashed.

Chip has very kindly emailed me amidst this site crash and he's suggested limiting orders to 2 copies per person given the unexpected attention it's brought onto his website. This scuppers my plans to help distribute copies to other people in the UK for an overall lower price, but given the limited run this is understandable. He said shipping for 2 copies would be $40 to the UK for those who might wish to email him when he's a bit less stressed (I did notice that the PayPal cart when it was working only charged $4 regardless of country and amount, so expect to pay some added difference if ordering from outside the US).

I recommend that people remain patient whilst he gets the technical issues resolved. I'm sure you won't have to resort to eBay scalpers.

That was the worst online ordering experience that I have ever had, but I managed to get a copy in the end.  The checkout page would never complete my order, but somehow Paypal did.  I only received a Paypal receipt, but Chip (very quickly!) confirmed through email that my order was processed.

Now to hope that the book was worth it!

For anyone struggling with the website and don't know this already: send Chip an email with your location and he'll send you a paypal invoice. This is not me being officious, he suggested this himself on his twitter feed. I can't see these 200 copies lasting long if this going on pre-order apparently crashed the bloody website! As theotherjohn said: $40 postage to the UK and I imagine most other international orders will be in the same ballpark, so lucky you if you're in the States.

Finally was able to place my preorder. Now eagerly awaiting the book. Wasn't Kee MacFarlane mentioned in Pure when writing about McMartin preschool trial, I seem to remember he was disappointed when the whole thing turned out to be fake

I don't know what backlog of emails Chip has to wade through, but there's definitely copies available (just shy of 50) if the Add To Cart button is any indication of stock available.

I think Add To Cart is only for US domestic orders as it's only charging $4 shipping, but I guess Chip could contact you to request additional shipping costs if you went ahead that way. Probably better to stick with email though whilst it's still seemingly available.
