Just giving my own opinion here: probably not soon.
Getting retail booksellers like Amazon or Aquinas into the process would place a big cost burden on the book. The big hymnal publishers sell direct too, probably for the same reason. As you probably know, CCWatershed is a small non-profit organization, so breaking even financially is important to them.
So I brought one of my copies to choir rehearsal this evening and everybody wanted a look. Our pastor/choir director is VERY impressed so I gave him the copy to peruse.
I am so jealous that you have received yours already :-) I am hoping to receive my copies by this Sunday to give our priest one to look over. If he is anywhere close to being as impressed with the actual thing as he was with the preview images I showed him, I imagine we'll be ordering them for all of the pews.
This looks like a remarkable production and enterprise. How do we get them in other parts of the world, and are any elements particular to North America?
