:alien2: Over the past 2 weeks pendragon have been saying quite a lot, and because of everything that has came before i dont trust them probably enough to buy a product that they havnt even got any cover art or book pages online. Not enough proof the book will be out on time, or if it will ever be out.

I don't blame you guys, I don't know why the didn't use amazon.

The website looks terrible like Pendragons site and thats coming from a professional web design company (Me).

I think Pendragon should pull their act together and get their website more professional looking, I despair sometimes. Oh well

If, like me, you're distrustful of their ability to deliver the books, I hope you show the same skepticism when it comes to answering their ads for the movie itself coming out on DVDs.
