I still dont have my 2 books? Does anyone know an ETA?
Creator darkefyre on January 7
I was just wondering how many people are still waiting for the print to show up? I live in Canada so I expected to see it before many others, as I did with the books. I would very much appreciate an update about the status of the print, even if just to know that it's delayed.
Creator Jenny Owens on December 27
I was pretty sad not to get my canvas print in time to give it as a Christmas gift. I kept waiting and waiting, because you said you'd make an update when they came in, but now I see that some people have already received theirs (and shipped them back and received the correct one) so perhaps that update got skipped? Is ther any sort of ETA for the prints? Thanks.
Creator Sy Coleman on December 21
I never recieved my copy? Were all of them shipped all ready?
Creator Gordon spingle on December 19
Finally got the correct print today after am earlier mix up. It is great and i cant wait to get it framed and hung in my future sons r0om :-)
Creator Kyra Mathew on December 19
I love the books--thank you!
I ordered 2 and got a package of 2, followed a week or two later by a third book (1 too many). I just wanted to check...
Creator anddylanrew on December 18
Still haven't received my book.
Creator Harry Lam on December 8
This was majorly disappointing. The tube that the canvas print came in was completely crushed. This was extremely upsetting as this was meant to be a Christmas present for my wife.
Creator Gordon spingle on December 4
Was super excited to see that my canvas print arrived this morning, but sorely dissapointed upon opening it. The print looks good and it is alot bigger than I ecpected, but im sad to say I recieved the wrong one. I had odered the pelican and haf a tiger to greet me this morning.
Creator Michiel Sweere on November 30
The power of posting ... Books received; they're wonderfull!

Creator Vincent Koop on November 29
I just received the book, here in the Netherlands.
I'm very happy it arrived before my brother's birthday, he's gonna love the gift! :)
Cheers, Vince
Creator Micky on November 28
Reviewing it as we speak (5 star of course). And it also warms my heart to see this on Amazon:
"Frequently Bought Together:
- The Bear
- Firefly"
:D
Creator Nathan on November 28
Got mine. WOOHOOO!
Creator Michiel Sweere on November 27
Any books delivered in The Netherlands already? I'm so looking forward to them!
Also... a birthday of my brother in law is coming up, and he just became a father... I'd love to hand 'The Bear' over to him!
Creator Nathan on November 26
Anyone in Alaska get their books yet?
Creator Sarah Keller on November 26
Love my book! I wish the pictures had a white border around them like the prints seem to, but they are gorgeous anyways!
Creator Jon Lauridsen on November 24
Got the books, and they are incredibly lovely. Great gifts, thank you so much.
Creator Ryan Darnell on November 22
Got my book here in Dubai - looking forward to reading it to my son!
Creator Schayne Devenish-Wilson on November 22
Got my books and onesie today. Hopefully the parents-to-be enjoy it as much as I do.
Creator Ann Lowe on November 21, 2012
Wonderful book, but I'm still looking for the onesies. They get shipped separately? Or did mine get missed?

Creator Patrick on November 21, 2012
I got my book last night. Even better than I expected. Great work.
Creator Darren J. Gendron on November 20, 2012
I got my copy in. I'm always impressed by the quality y'all crank out.
Creator Brendan on November 20, 2012
Got my books yesterday (in Brisbane, Australia)! So lovely. Cannot wait for the print to arrive :)
Creator Laura on November 20, 2012
My book arrived here in the UK a few days ago. It's awesome and I love it! Can't wait to show it to people :-) But I'm definitely keeping it for myself! :-D
Creator J. B. V. on November 20, 2012
Just dropping a note that I got my books today, here in Chesterton, Indiana. They look fantastic and I plan on reading it to my son tomorrow.
Creator Micky on November 17, 2012
Got my books today - they are beautiful, and I can't wait to give the extras away for xmas! :D
Creator Jennifer Skees on November 16, 2012
My book was delivered today! I'm so excited to get it. I had to send it to my parents' house because my mailman is notorious for just tossing packages at the door from the parking lot. I didn't want it to be damaged.
Creator Ken Mencher on November 15, 2012
I just got my book today, and it's precious...thank you so much for sharing it with us all!!
I have a feeling I'm going to be ordering more!
Creator Adam Reyes on November 14, 2012
just got my book today!!! so so sooooo sad! now i have to find a way to get a few more books at some point! i know too many people who would love this book who are already parents, will be, or trying to be, as well as this also being a good read for kids of all ages... when i find the money... im buying in bulk!!! such an amazing job! hope there will be more to come from both creators solo or as a team... thanks!!!
Creator Mark Ewing on November 14, 2012
Got my book yesterday (in NE Tennessee) and it is beautiful! I enjoyed reading it to my son when I got home from work.
Creator Jeppe U Christensen on November 14, 2012
I got my book yesterday, here in Denmark, and i love it.
Creator Matthew Aslin on November 13, 2012
Any internationals got their orders yet? (namely Australians)
Just wondering when the international orders were shipped?
Creator Jennifer Copland on November 13, 2012
My book arrived today and I couldn't be more pleased! I bought it for my son (15 months old) to give his father for Christmas and I'm going to have a hard time waiting until then to share it with him. Thanks guys!
Creator Michael Oue on November 12, 2012
My book arrived today safe and sound. It looks great! The only concern I have is that I had intended this to be a gift for my sister-in-law at Christmas. I removed the plastic wrap to make sure everything was included and intact. I flipped through the book and saw on the first page "fatherhood". I was under the assumption that this was a generic first-time parent viewpoint, not specifically that of a father.
Creator Matthew on November 10, 2012
got mine 2 days ago. love it.
Creator Ron Campo on November 10, 2012
Got my books today. There amazing, going to make great Christmas Presents,
Creator Ryan Sohmer on November 8, 2012
Questions concerning the drawing: I was just waiting for the winner to get back to me. Didn't want to jump the gun. I will be posting about it today.

Creator Schayne Devenish-Wilson on November 8, 2012
@JBV, it wasn't on the Facebook or Twitter either...
Creator J. B. V. on November 7, 2012
Who won the random drawing for the original artwork "Peccary"? Sorry, I don't use Facebook or Twitter. I'll go back to my cave now.
Creator Cheryl on November 5, 2012
yay ! got my book today :D can't speak as to the condition of the book because i'm currently out of town :( boo living away for school !
expedited shipping from Canada Post - was sent tracking information and updates by Canada Post throughout. It took me technically two business days - sent the initial email on 2 Nov and I received it today 5 Nov :D awesome ! i can't wait to go home and see it !
Creator James White on November 5, 2012
I also haven't received my books yet, I expected there to be some delay (didn't expect all the books to ship on same day), but I see that some people got theirs on the 26th of October, even at snail mail pace I wouldn't think there would be a 7 business day difference across the US.
*crosses fingers*
Creator Jennifer Copland on November 5, 2012
I have not received my book yet either. Is there a way to find out if my copy has been shipped yet?
Creator Joshua Knoll on November 5, 2012
I'm in the same boat as J.B.V. here. Should I be concerned that my books haven't arrived yet?
Creator J. B. V. on November 2, 2012
How long should we wait before we start to freak out if we still didn't have our books come in?
Creator Nathaniel Joel Wielenga on October 31, 2012
Received my book yesterday. I really liked how fuzzy the cover was :) Lots of fun. Beautiful and inspired book, well done you two!
Creator monica murphy on October 31, 2012
Just received my book today, absolutely gorgeous, and there was something on every page i could relate to. Just one small issue, the top edge of the front and back of the book was damaged, there's a one centimeter long dent on both covers. Sigh.
Creator Gordon spingle on October 30, 2012
I got my two books in the mail yesterday, but sadly one of them had a long scratch across the front of it. but it's not that big of a deal and i am happy regardless. I was wondering when the Giclée prints will be shipping out. I had originally figured everything would have been shipping out at the same time but apparently i was wrong. Thanks for getting the books out so fast, but please update us on the prints soon.
Creator K.N.B. on October 30, 2012
Hello, I just recieved my book in the mail. I am very pleased with the speedy delivery. The book arrived safely packaged and undamaged. Just to note, I never received any tracking information, though my package was marked "EXPEDITED". As to the speed of the delivery, it probably had to do with being in the same country as the publisher and only being one province over. It's highly likely all books are in the mail by now. Hope you get yours soon.
Creator Charles Morley & Eric Young on October 30, 2012
Got my two books in today!
Creator Justin Neal on October 30, 2012
Should I be worried I haven't gotten a tracking number yet, yet it seems several people have gotten their books?
