I ordered the game digitally but I wanted the hardcover guidebook to go with Volume 1, was just curious if there was any confirmation that the guidebook would be ready and ship by May 8th when the game launches or if there will be a delay on it?

Just would like to know when to start looking out for it

They would have to, due to all the people with CEs.

Well, it is also up for preorder on Amazon with a street date of May 8th.

 

Whether or not you bought the book as a backer add-on or are getting it elsewhere, the first printing is probably already complete, and is waiting in the publisher's warehouse for a coordinated release.
