Just wanted to mention some additional information:

1) Mr. Hugh Akins’ Catholic Action Resource Center will also be distributing the book soon at ca-rc.com (you will be able to find it there in a few days).

Obviously, this is Matthew’s forum, and he is doing all the hard marketing, so I Hope CI users/members who are considering a purchase will make him the first choice.

2) For those who object to purchasing from both CI and Mr. Akins, the book will also soon be available from Amazon.com (link to come when setup is finalized).

Note that Amazon may have constrained inventory, as I will borrowing from the inventory I originally thought to sell through them to replenish Matthew (and Mr. Akins, if need be);

3) Fr. Edward MacDonald will also have 25 copies to distribute, so if you are a faithful of one of his Mass sites, he may be another source (note that Fr. MacDonald will not receive his copies for another 2 weeks +/-, because of shipping);

4) An ebook will soon be available from Matthew’s website (as well as the forthcoming Amazon site) for $9.99.

5) Initial reports indicate that I may have greatly underestimated demand, as in addition to multiple requests to place bulk orders and become distributors, I also already received one request from a priest to buy large orders for his two chapels.

Matthew sold through 50% of his initial allocation on the first day, and has yet to fill the priest’s order, in addition to forthcoming orders, making a second larger printing of the book likely/necessary (don’t worry: I will be taking from Amazon’s inventory to keep Matthew well stocked).

Finally, it seems the offline trad market is very interested in the subject matter, and many are also buying the book for those who do not go online.

Yes, we all know.  You stormed off the forum after having denounced Matthew, saying you'd never come back, but then stealthily created the X account (after having posted in Anonymous for a while).

Ladislaus-

Could you please start a new thread to vent?

This thread regards the book.

I explained the reason for my anonymous authorship of the CCCC thread in the OP (which had the full knowledge and cooperation of Matthew from the beginning).

We ordered from Matthew already. I am looking forward to reading it! I will be ordering for my family as well. They have very little internet so all they hear is what the SSPX priests tell them, which is nothing. It will be good for them to have something more tangible than just my word or "hearsay" from CI. They are sympathetic to the Resistance based on a couple of concerning trends they have seen over the past 10 years but in terms of knowing what practical changes are taking place they are looking forward to this book. Thank you Sean and all who have had a part in putting it together!

This might be a silly detail but I want to qualify my wording and sentiments. The part we are looking forward to is having clarity in book form at our fingertips instead of trying to stare at a screen for hours. The subject matter itself is not joyful.

I'm someone who as attended SSPX chapels (St. Vincent's in KCMO and was married 21 years ago TODAY in St. Mary's) for 28 years,  can honestly say EVERYTHING in bot the thread and this book when it arrives will be much needed help in ringing the bells "the modernists are at the gates! get your guns grab some rope!

Now something I can give to my wife that she can take the time to digest rather tan trying to explain long complicated threads she has no interest in trying to digest.  She tends to trust me but I'd like her to have something like this she can take her time with so she can feel assured.  I am real close to red-lighting SSPX but mass opptions are few here.  I won't attend FSSP nor ICKSP as their priests are doubtful, which is where the SSPX is trying to get anyway.  

I've become soft Sede-Vacante but SSPV is 3+ hours away and as of now I'm not sure about CMRI in Topeka.  Any suggestions?  Looking forward to this books arrival.  
Yes, since you are willing to consider Topeka, then if you drive a bit further to Emmet, you can attend Mass at St. Joseph's Mission in Emmett operated by Bishop Zendejas (SAJM). We will have Mass almost all Sundays for the rest of the year. Currently Fr. MacDonald is there now with Mass at 9 AM from now until Sunday.

This is very encouraging news... Hopefully all the intended recipients will be as excited on reception of this book as those who wish to distribute it.
