Artist Editions!
Friday, August 07, 2009 - 12:08 AM
Next week, the new "Living Dangerously" book will available in the
Sheldon Store...but before that happens, first crack at the
Artist Editions will go to Sheldon
Newsletter Subscribers and
Twitter followers on
Monday.
The Artist Editions, as you know, are stamped, hand-numbered, autographed, and feature an awesome character sketch inside your cover.
Only 300 of 'em are made for this book, and they tend to go pretty quick. So if you think you might be interested, check out the newsletter or Twitter for the secret link to snag one!

I can't say for sure right now, for (believe it or not, technical issues).... but let's narrow it down to late-morning-to-early-afternoon, Monday, Pacific Standard Time.

So I believe we're on Pacific Daylight Time, not PST. Unless LA's decided to ignore daylight savings and I didn't hear of it, that is.

So somewhere in the vicinity of 20.00 UTC then? Good - I think I can manage that.
(Damn you for making me want a smartphone so I could go online in the middle of a lecture.)

ARGH! I'm sitting in Iraq and it's 2:40 pm already. I've been waiting alllllllll day. The promise of a new Sheldon is the only thing that has brightened my deployment so far.

#157? I've always wondered if so many people instantly buy an artist edition that you usually end up getting between #150 and #250 if you order instantly?
Or do you sell the first artist editions at comic conventions, Dave, and we're just out of luck? I'd like to get between #1 and 5 at some point, but I've never managed. Can't get 1 cause Dave ebayed it, but did anyone get 2?

For the Artist Editions on "Living Dangerously" -- like the past few Sheldon books -- the first 200 copies sell lickety-split in the first 12-24 hours, and then the last 100 take about a week to sell. Sometimes a matter of 30-45 minutes can mean you get #20 or #120. :)
