Del Rey’s Erich Schoeneweiss announced today that Pablo Hidalgo’s Essential Reader’s Companion has been pushed back from April to October 2.
The reason? “To provide our exceptional art team a little more time to complete over 100 painted scenes plus nearly 50 character portraits from the Expanded Universe,” Schoeneweiss wrote. More art? I’m okay with that.
Schoeneweiss expects to be able to start sharing some pieces soon. Per usual, our book release schedule has been updated.
Boo for the delay, but yay for the artwork!
They need to print up some bookplates for Pablo to sign at Celebration to make it up to us. :)
The extra time will be used to really, really nail the Cal Omas artwork.
I have no problem waiting. Yay for art!
