I had a pre-order for The Things of Earth: Treasuring God by Enjoying His Gifts, which had a ship date of Jan 31. I noticed today that the book was live but I hadn't received it yet, so I canceled my pre-order and ordered it normally.
What's the point of pre-ordering if they don't ship on release date? There wasn't a price discount. In this case pre-ordering turned out to be a negative.
