Update Feb 17: ​Kindle appears to be purchaseable again. Thanks for your patience.
Update 2:30pm Pac: the Kindle version is now showing pre-order status at Amazon. We're asking around.
Here are some updates on the status of Baseball Prospectus 2012.
- Baseball Prospectus 2012 is now available for Kindle, Nook, Kobo, and in the iTunes bookstore. For all formats we know of, or to learn more about or order the book, please visit our page at
-
Amazon has announced they will be shipping the book on February 18, but we've heard from readers whose books are now shipping and will be delivered as early as February 17. If you order from Amazon by then, you will probably get the book on or before its official publication date of February 21. Click here to order the book from Amazon.
-
We generally know very little about Amazon.ca's plans but we will let you know if we learn anything.
-
BN.com reports that the book is in stock. Click here to order the book from BN.com.
-
Books have been shipping all over the place, so your favorite local bookseller should have the book very soon if they don't have it already.
- We're still looking at a PDF sales channel for the book. More on that soon.

I bought the iTunes version and the search function isn't working. Very annoying. Plus flipping through pages has been buggy (delayed, going backward when I want forward). Has Kindle had similar issues? I think I chose poorly.
1) that Joe Hamrahi picked up the book last night and will enjoy time with it today and
2) that Joe Perrotto has a story for this week's USA Today Sports weekly?
I have never communicated with either Joe via LinkedIn or e-mail in my life so I find it pretty repulsive that either form of communication is being used for promotional purposes.
Is this being done with the knowledge of Baseball Prospectus?
Cease and desist
Why would I even have to pick up the book? I managed the production of it.

"we are not sending this information or providing any information to LinkedIn. We're sorry that this is outside of our control.
Our only suggestion is that you adjust your LinkedIn message settings to opt-out."
I'm not sure if I really find this an acceptable solution. If the messages are legitimate then there is some responsibilty on the part of the originator.
I am sure that Mr. Hamrahi doesn't want every Tweet he posts to be recircultated by Linked In and find mail boxes of people with whom he has never communicated with in any way, shape, or form.
Yes I can opt-out but that places the entire burden on the receipiant.
What I did to resolve the problem is click the opt-out link at the bottom of the email. If you find this unacceptable, please do let LinkedIn know.
That way we can get all your info pulled up and request support from our publisher. We'll try to get a resolution for you as soon as possible. Thank you.
