There was a post I read elsewhere a couple of days ago from IDW which said they had to come up with special protective mailing boxes for this book. Also that they would be shipping out the books in a couple of batches, with the preorders going out a week earlier.

The main IDW page has a note about the upgraded packaging and how it affected shipping schedules. I've never kept book packaging before, but I saved the inner box for this one. This may be odd, but if I we made a move it occurred to me that it would be a challenge to securely pack up this book. It's larger than most book boxes. The inner box is like a slipcase that could then go into a larger container. Just a suggestion as you all receive your copies.

P.S. A related issue is where to put this baby in the bookshelf. I have just enough clearance atop my EC Library sets to lay this one flat.
