I appreciate the fact that pre-pubs get released as production is done. Also the fact that some have to be postponed because of cancelled pre-orders etc. But I think Logos could schedule some on fixed dates for release, even if they finish production. Some books and collections are very expensive, and for someone who has hundreds of books on pre-order, when some appear abruptly as 'about to ship', I may have no choice but to cancel it.
Maybe fix some release dates for some, or give the customer a choice of holding it for some weeks so it fits our budgets. That could avoid cancelling.
God bless!
