Hi Ben,Sorry I never received your email. Right now we allow people to pre-order the printed book when they buy the PDF as a convenience if they know now they want it, so they don't have to go back later and buy the printed book individually. The printed book is not yet finished. It will be shipped to you once it's printed. Were you not aware...
