Dear Beatland Reader:

Thank you so much for reserving our first book – The Monkees: The Day-By-Day Story – or signing up for our waitlist. The good news is the book is in production after some last minute additions and polishing. It is now 740 pages! For those who reserved the super deluxe edition, the supplement has swelled to 40 pages – it really looks great! You can see samples of the 3 different editions of the book at beatlandbooks.com or in this new video.

Here’s a summary of the important information found in greater detail below:

  • PAYMENT: Your payment will be collected now, not when book ships

  • ESTIMATED SHIPPING DATE: August

Port of Long Beach

IMPORTANT SCHEDULE UPDATE

The port of Long Beach (where the Monkees filmed the opening and closing scenes of Head in 1968) will also be the arrival point for your books! Unfortunately, the port has made the news recently because it has been backed up with ships attempting to deliver their containers. Thus, our printers are also estimating a considerable delay beyond their first forecast. While the books will be printed, bound and shipped to California in mid-June, the printers now estimate a late July arrival in our warehouse at the earliest (worst case scenario is the first few days of August). Beatland has done everything to communicate our desire to get them sooner, but this is completely a result of port traffic and increased demands for goods during the pandemic.

Despite increased size driving up all of the costs of the book, we will of course honor the original prices if you pre-order your book between now and June 30th. You may preorder here:

ORDER NOW

We launched the site for preorders on Friday and many people have already turned their reservations into preorders. Note: your payment will be collected now, not when the book ships. If this is an issue for you, you may choose to wait, but after June 30th, your reservation will be considered abandoned.

On July 1, 2021 prices for preorders will increase by $25 on each edition (to reflect increased production costs). Only 2,000 books will be produced and we plan to suspend all sales in September when Andrew shifts to producing the Monkees’ farewell tour. This is it! There are no plans to keep the book in print and there will be no digital version. It is a limited edition collector’s book that should retain its value.

DETAILS ON SHIPPING COSTS

Your books will be shipped by a professional facility and not by Andrew personally. Because of the physical size of the book, shipping outside of the United States is indeed more expensive than expected. We were in shock when the rates were given and went the extra mile to get better prices wherever we could. Note: we do not pay duties on our outgoing shipment to you and cannot calculate them for you. Tax and shipping are charged on top of the book prices. We do not offer combined shipping; each book comes individually boxed and with Priority mail on the Flexibound and Deluxe, we found the Medium flat rate box was the best option, but it only allowed one book per box. There is no other flat rate box that fits this book and no flat rate box that fits the Super Deluxe. Media Mail is also an option in the United States.

FACTS BEHIND SHIPPING THE BOOK TO YOU

  • Flexibound Open Edition - 11 pounds – boxed 14x10x3.5 inches.

  • Deluxe Edition (signed & numbered in a slip cover) - 13 pounds – boxed - 14.5x10x3.5 inches.

  • Super Deluxe Edition (signed & numbered with extra 40-page booklet) - 16 pounds – boxed 15.5x11x4.5 inches.

IF YOU’RE ON THE WAITLIST YOU CAN ORDER NOW TOO!

ORDER NOW

If you signed up for our waitlist, you may also preorder now and we will take you off of the waitlist. Some have asked why we are not sending individual invoices and the reason is we had many people change their reservations, email addresses and other details making it unfeasible to do effectively.

The team at Beatland (and it is a team that has built the site and shop and answers your emails) is counting down the days until your books arrive! If you have an issue with preordering, please contact us.
