I'm writing up this page, July 21, 2007. Updates are added to this page as new things are found.
Neil Pearson has written a book, "Obelisk: A History of Jack Kahane and the Obelisk Press".
Below you will find, news, bibliographic information, and relevant articles. After that is a not so comprehensive section on where to find "Obelisk" -- if you should want to purchase it. Hopefully some day, I will find links to reviews to stick on here. (Found! See below.) I've tried to put the links to articles in date order. I also tried to list the links in such a way that you could search for the article "anyway" in case the link becomes, "broken". (The Internet being somewhat "transient", links do become "broken", or in other words, links sometimes cease to work after a time. I am leaving "old" links on here because there are ways of finding an article, either in print or some other "how".) As far as I know, this is all there is. If you know of any more, let me know please.

 February 6, 2008-- (It's just now Feb. 6) The post office says that my package was delivered, 11:25 AM on Feb. 5, 2008. I did receive it along with some other "fan" things I bought on eBay. It seems like an interesting book in a way. February 5, 2008-- I'm guessing that later on today my book will arrive. The "electronic shipping info." was received by the U.S. Postal Service on February 1, 2008. The package was processed in Allen Park, Michigan, February 4, 2008 at 9:21 AM. This is a big distribution center or whatever they would call it. Mail usually arrives here any time after 3:00 PM. But packages sometimes arrive as early as 1:00 PM so that the letter carrier (mail lady) doesn't have to carry the package a great distance to get it here. Sometimes just the packages are delivered early. Sometimes it is packages and other mail. And sometimes they wait to deliver the packages, and or packages and mail, after they deliver the mail on the street here. It all depends upon who is delivering the mail and when they decide/remember to deliver our package(s). Anyway my copy should arrive later today, unless they go slow and it arrives tomorrow. Will let you know when it arrives. There's a storm out and I have heard some good thunder claps. Must get off the computer NOW. See ya. February 1, 2008-- Today, I got an E-mail from Amazon.com. My book is being shipped. If you want, you can track the package at, http://www.usps.com/ and look up this number, 9102 1273 9179 0389 4698 66. They said that the "estimated arrival date" is, "07-February-2008". I thought something was funny last night. I looked at Amazon.com website, and the site said, they had one that was "new or used" from another seller. And when you clicked on the other seller, it said it was Amazon.com. January 31, 2008--I just looked at the Amazon.com website. They are now saying that the, "Shipping estimate" is, "February 19, 2008". A friend in Canada received her book yesterday. She bought her's from Amazon.ca. January 30, 2008-- On January 28, 2008 Amazon sent an E-mail saying that they were having difficulty processing my credit card. I know that Amazon doesn't charge you for an item until they ship it. They also said on the 25th that if it came in early they would send the book before the "Estimated arrival date". I got a little excited thinking that my order was coming early. I guess Amazon tries out the credit card to make sure it works before as they prepare to ship something. The credit card company had changed numbers on us and issued us a new card. I forget what all is "tied" to it, so I only notify companies as situations come up. So I hadn't told Amazon of my new number. I haven't yet gotten any notice from Amazon that the book is being shipped. January 25, 2008-- I got a new E-mail today, Amazon.com has changed their "delivery estimate" again. "Estimated arrival date: 02/26/2008 - 03/03/2008". (delivery estimate: February 26, 2008 - March 3, 2008) They said that the "release date" had changed again. It changed a while back, and they are just now changing the "delivery estimate". December 21, 2007-- Sometime between September 12, and today, Amazon.com (and .ca) updated their sites to say that the release date is now, February 15, 2008. I went and looked at my order status just now. (Canceling an old order that never came in.) The "shipping estimate" is the same as it was on November 20. (January 24, 2008) Don't know, what "the deal" is. December 19, 2007--The University of Chicago Press has put a post onto their "Press Blog", under the section, "Distributed Presses" telling about the good review of Obelisk in the December 8th issue of "The Guardian". Since The University of Chicago Press is Distributing Obelisk in North America, does this post mean, the book will be arriving soon from Amazon.com? November 20, 2007--Got another notice from Amazon.com that the release date has changed again. The "updated delivery estimate" is now January 26, 2008 - January 28, 2008. The shipping estimate is, January 24, 2008. On a related note, Suzy in England got an E-mail from Amazon.co.uk, informing her that her copy was dispatched today. The E-mail went on to say that she should get the book, by November 24th. October 21, 2007--I notice that Amazon (.com; .co.uk; .ca) has updated it's picture of the book cover to almost match the one on the Liverpool University Press site. Don't know when the change was made. There are some slight differences between the picture on Amazon and the one on the Liverpool University Press site. October 20, 2007--Got a notice from Amazon that the release date has changed. That means, the estimated shipping date has changed to November 19, 2007. The delivery estimate is, November 21, 2007 - November 24, 2007. They haven't changed the "date of publication" on their web site. October 15, 2007--(written October 21, 2007) During the week of October 15, 2007, "Obelisk" is, "Book of the Week", at the Liverpool University Press. http://www.liverpool-unipress.co.uk/ (Well, it's November 20, 2007. Obelisk, is still "Book of the Week", at the Liverpool University Press. No telling how long it will stay there.) October 12, 2007-- Either today, or some days before, The Liverpool University Press put a slightly different picture of the book cover on their site. It is still [vastly?] different from the picture on Amazon. September 12, 2007-- Sometime before today, and well after August 31, The Liverpool University Press put a picture of the book on their site. It is vastly different from the picture on Amazon. (.com; .co.uk; .ca) I pre-ordered it from Amazon.com some weeks ago (via Border's). I wonder which cover will arrive. August 31, 2007-- This page shows up in Google when you search for this book. It took from July 21, 2007 till now to show up. August, 12, 2007-- Sometime between July 16, 2007 and August 12, 2007 Amazon put a picture of the book cover on their site. (Sometime in the week of August 5, I suspect.) I haven't looked at every site that Google pulls up, but as far as I know, Amazon was the first to post a picture of the book cover. June 26, 2007-- I ordered this book from Amazon via Border's. May 10, 2007-- when I first ran across information about this book. I sent a post to the fan list, I was writing about the first URL I stuck in that post... "I quite literally (er rather in this case "literarily") found this by accident. (the first URL on here) I was looking in Google for something that I wanted to stick in my scrapbook. This (the first URL) came up in the list as well as what I wanted. I clicked on it and got a surprise. I don't know how I missed it before." I had found the 29 April 2007 post on the blog, "It's a Crime! (or a mystery...)". |
