RagingPorygon Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Yo Ed, any updates? Been a little quiet in this thread. Just wanna see if things are going well. Don't wanna sound pushy or anything. Quote
Jeff Mack Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 The book is out being printed . I think we get a preview copy in October. 4 Quote

Ed Mack Posted October 13, 2016 Author Posted October 13, 2016 I haven't been given a set date yet. We were going to announce the winners of the contest when it was released, sometime in early November. I will reach out to the publishers tomorrow and see if there is a set date. If it is late October, that would be news to me, but the publishers are rarely accurate with their information they give to us. Quote
Ed Mack Posted October 13, 2016 Author Posted October 13, 2016 Jeff and I have only one copy and it really looks nice. The hardcover gives it a finished and professional look. Quote

Expand Yes, I canceled my day 1 order when I realized nothing in my order would ship for 7 months. Amazon was holding my whole order until the book shipped. It took me a week to find something else I could wait 7 months for to get me to free shipping. I should have just ordered a bunch. No limit. Quote
minicoopers11 Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Doh! Just ordered. Edit: 10/18 delivery. Edited October 13, 2016 by minicoopers11 Quote

ilcarota Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 since I live in the good old Europe, I discovered that the book is shipping here after 11/25/2016. I read on google books a preview, and I was very excited: there was one of my pictures on the first pages... I bought a PDF version, because I wanted to read it whole without having to wait a month, but my copy on amazon.it is also already in the cart. I wrote about the book on my LUG forum (itLUG) and spread the news in all italian speaking lego pages on facebook: a lot of people seems to appreciate it and preordered a copy :-) well done! 2 Quote
pickled brick Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Amazon can have it to me as soon as Mon. Oct. 17. Can't seem to find a PDF version that ilcarota mentions, but either way, lots of anxious contest participants are ready for the announcements! Quote

I have to find out from the publishers when the people who contributed photos will get their copies. I am actually surprised it has become available so soon. Quote
Alpinemaps Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 I'll take a good look at it once I get the kids to bed. I admit I was surprised/impressed with it being a hard cover. I will also admit I'm really bummed I didn't get off my butt to contribute. Quote
