The Boat Has Left For New York!

Great news folk, the boat with the megastructures books has left the port. For those interested, follow this link to watch the cargo ship make it's journey to the USA, you can see where it's currently located here: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:6779119/mmsi:563141200/imo:9789972/vessel:YM_TRUST

It should arrive in New York City by Oct 3rd. Then approx a week to get through customs. And then it'll be brought by truck to the distribution center in New Jersey which is only a few miles south. So if all goes well, your books will be in the mail mid to late October.

Looking forward to getting you the books!
