[Hawkmumbler]

Just got a dispatch email. Should be with me Tuesday.

I'm interested to hear what it looks like in print.

Just got a dispatch email. Should be with me Tuesday.

Just checked mine and I'm still showing an estimated delivery of 15th - 16th Jan. Oh the vagaries of Amazon delivery dates!

[Hawkmumbler]

Weirdly so is mine. Even though the header say's dispatched and I got the email. I've even been charged £15. Ah well. Time will tell.

[Colin YNWA]

...and this morning I've got an e-mail saying they are going to be delivering today, hope it makes it colour me (or black and white me) excited!

[Hawkmumbler]

Oooh. Me as well. Plus a copy of Lazarus volume one. To be honest I got that to off set the delivery cost for Phantom Blood volume one next month but i'f i'm getting it now then I won't complain.

[Hawkmumbler]

Mine is here. And it's bloody gorgeous.

[Colin YNWA]

Mine is here. And it's bloody gorgeous.

Yes, yes it is.

That is all.

[I, Cosh]

Has anybody got this yet? The one copy left in FP has internal pages slightly wider than the cover and I wanted to check if that's standard or a dodgy copy as it's bending the corners and I'm a dick about things like that.

Well?

[Colin YNWA]

Actually now you mention it and looking very closely I'd say yes but its miniscule and probably down to the fold in the fold-out cover (both front and back). Its a lovely heavy book, bigger than the Battle reprints (I note as mine happens to be standing next to one) with really nice heavy paper a deep blacks.

Buy it The Cosh or I will lose all respect for you and mock you to your dieing day.

[Hawkmumbler]

I actually forgot about what Cosh mentioned until I noticed it myself. It's really not that noticeable and honestly doesn't make any difference to the structure of the book.

But it is a handsome volume by all accounts. I'm slightly stunned by just how nice a presentation it is.

[Bat King]

Glad it looks good in the hand, I often wonder when looking at the previews I get.

Yeah, that sounds the same as the one I saw. I'll definitely be getting it but might be a couple of weeks now.

[Colin YNWA]

Its also surprising how thick it is as its only 140 pages (ish) long. Down to the heavy, quality (I assume) paper.

[Hawkmumbler]

The paper stock is great. Theirs no light reflection off the blacks so it looks solid. Really good production.
