Hi Everyone:
Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been participating in the forums quite as much as I use to. Also, a few of you have noticed that I have played very little poker the last couple of months.
The reason is very simple. Due to the exploding interest in poker, our book sales have been at a level that we never thought was possible. While this is great news for those involved with Two Plus Two, and is actually very good news for all poker players everywhere, it has created a number of problems for me.
First and foremost is that we are currently unable to keep up with all the orders that we have. Specifically we are out of books on three of our titles, (it was four but we just finished reprinting Hold 'em Poker), and we expect to run short on another book in a couple of weeks. We also have a shot to sell more books this month than we sold all last year which was our best year ever.
Our printer is currently running 12 hour shifts in an effort to get us resupplied, (I think I spend more time there than any place else), our book packer has received two unsolicited pay raises from us, and we have orders so large that we're not sure we'll be able to stack all the boxes in our packing office so that the truck line can pick them up. I could write more because the list goes on.
Anyway, when things settle down a little I hope to get back to playing more poker and participating here at my previous level. In the mean time, I'll be checking in and participating whenever I can.
Thanks to everyone for all the support.
Best wishes,
Mason
