    Hello,

    It is not letting me pre-order. I attempted to go to the link to donate but it just shows the paypal page and not anything to lead me to it. Please let me know what to do and looking forward to this item!

    Is it still possible to pre-order the book? I have tried and I seem to be having the same issue as Matthew, who commented above on September 3rd, 2016.
    Please let me know!
