[UPDATE] Buy DeadPoems!

[dishboy]

Oh, and for the record, I bought the color version, in case others aren't wanting to spend the money but want to make sure we have a look at it for any differences...

[Nogwater]

I ordered a BW copy.

[konamouse]

/me ordered the colorized version, but won't be home to receive it.

So this is going to be more of a souvenier for me.

I will be relying on you all to decode any important messages while I'm away from home (but still hooked up via my laptop).

/me ordered the color version as well.

I have a pretty good scanner incidentally, so... unless we get any indications to the contrary, I may be able to scan some pertinent excerpts and make it available to those who can't or don't want to buy a copy...

I would strongly encourage anyone interested (and able) to just buy a copy, though. I mean, consider the time you've spent and the kicks you've received playing through UH so far - if it's been worth $10 or $20 to you, this might be a good way to show appreciation and support for the PMs... just my $0.02.

Ordered a copy-- just to reward the PMs and future ARGs, if nothing else.

Argh. I am trying desperately to buy the book, but the Lulu site won't let me. When I try to change the country from United States to United Kingdom, it automatically flicks back to the first page and loses everything else I've typed >_<

I'll try on my home computer later.

I keep on trying to give the PMs money, but they won't seem to take it off me! TT still haven't answered my international shipping email.

[Wishi-san]

seq, can we save on postage by doubling up?

[sequoya]

[Wishi-san]

I've managed to get it. It doesn't like IE at all.

Postage is expensive.

Are you looking for a colour one or the b/w one?

Shipping option wise we have:

2 b/w books:
International Economy Express (1-2 weeks)
Shipping cost = $13.53
Total = $33.43 / 2 = $16.71

USPS Global Express (don't know how long it takes)
Shipping cost = $35.94
Total = $55.84 / 2 = $27.92

-----
2 colour books:
International Economy Express (1-2 weeks)
Shipping cost = $17.40
Total = $61.32 / 2 = $30.66

USPS Global Express (don't know how long it takes)
Shipping cost = $40.94
Total = $84.86 / 2 = $42.43

So either way we're looking at a rougher ride than these US lot! I think to prevent getting stung by customs we only order a max of 2 books (sorry other UK people), don't want to be paying VAT and duty.

What d'ya reckon?

[sequoya]

Ta Wishi! I'll PM you and we can discuss so that we don't clog up the forums with it

[Cinemaniac]

[knofc]

watcha!

[Wishi-san]

Well, seq's and mine have been ordered (woo!), just to let you know we've gone for two black and white versions simply because of the prohibitive cost of the colour version.

I can understand why the difference in price though, if you look at the publishing pages it costs $0.02 per b/w page and $0.15 per colour so it makes sense.

[Marduk]

Color copy ordered (pat on the back to the PMs)...

And people seem to be acting like this is just a neat souvenir... I think there has got to be a puzzle lurking in the pages in some form.
