Sandy and false promises

Now we’re told we won’t have worlking phone lines and possibly internet until December 4!
So much for being back up as we thought a couple days ago.
Why? Because our lines are out of a central office that was one of the worst hit by flooding and so is undergoing extensive repairs.
What that means, folks, is, don’t call us! All you get is a busy signal or some weird message about us not in existence. They can’t even forward our calls or put on a message!

To reach us, you need to e-mail us. We’re managing through wifi and jerry-rigging to get online and get most of our work done there.
So, sorry, no phone calls! Just e-mail.
Orders: we will be processing credit cards orders starting today through Square. Orders accumulated from when the storm hit through yesterday have been processed and our warehouse is sending them out..
Wish us luck.

Internet finally on, phone lines are not.

We’re finally returning to some normalcy today but don’t give us a call! You’ll only get a busy signal.
For orders: we can finally catch up with orders that have come in over the last 10 days and get them out. Your credit card will only be charged today.
But good ‘ole Verizon again can’t get its act together, they’re not even able to have our calls forwarded or put on a message… Just e-mail us! admin@nbmpub.com for questions about orders (again,be patient), nbmgn@nbmpub.com for everything else.

We got power but no internet or phones!

So the latest, as we were all hoping to get back up and running, is we still can’t, fully. Power was restored on Saturday but the internet service may have been affected by floods downtown. Ditto for our phones.
Sooo, we hope to route calls but no internet still means not being able to retrieve orders or do basic work at work…
Response to e-mails will continue to be slow, please be patient!

Abelard is in stores.

Dillies, of Bubbles & Gondola, which received effusive praise and got 2 Eisner noms, has his next GN out, Abelard, and you can get it at your comics stores now! as well as everywhere else, including soon as an e-book or from Comixology.

Sandy update: status on orders

Because now it looks like we won’t be able to have our office back and running, with power, until Monday, please be aware that all orders sent in to us through our websites here at NBM and Papercutz will have to wait until Monday before they are processed and sent on for fulfillment.
Also, please hold any questions on where your order may be until next week when we can address them.
IPG, who fulfills all orders, is open and fine in Chicago so anything sent prior to Sandy is on its way.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Our status after Sandy

As of now, we cannot get to our office and wouldn’t be able to do anything there anyway as the power is still out, even the phones are not working. Our building is one block from the World Trade Center. As far as  we can tell, Broadway is probably the highest point of that lower part of Manhattan so it is highly unlikely any flooding happened at the building. However, that Con Ed plant explosion you see on the news? That may be where our power comes from… in which case it may be days.

This goes for both NBM and Papercutz. You can reach us by e-mail but it’s very dicey as to us being able to even access that and respond for a while.

Teachers’ Guide is up for Stan Mack’s book on the American Revolution

Teachers! We now have up an in-depth Teachers’ Guide to Stan Mack’s Taxes, The Tea Pary, and Those Revolting Rebels, A Comics History of the American Revolution.
It’s the work of Stan Brimberg, on the faculty and a teacher at the famous Bank St.  College School for Children. Brimberg has been a champion of this book ever since it came out fifteen years ago, seeing its positive effect on his students in his class:

“I love the book because students with a range of skills can access the ideas and information in it. I hope this Teacher’s Guide, which grows out of my own teaching experiences, will provide you with lots of material to pick and choose from.”

Remarkably, going beyond assignments or vocabulary, Brimberg also uses the medium of comics in fun exercises bringing dimensions to book study that only a graphic novel can.

Thanks to Stan Mack’s graphic novel and now Brimberg’s guide to it, you can bring the American Revolution to life and make it ‘real’ for your kids in the classroom.

Powered by deep percussion-based music, this style is unlike anything they’ve ever tried before. While the girls enjoy their new art form, problems at home and in the classroom threaten to cause them to have to stop taking their dance classes. Can the girls balance their studies and their extracurricular activities, or will they have to give up dancing for good?
