I usually start these posts with "I am pleased...". I'm not pleased right now. I'm not sure I'll ever be pleased again. Like so many of us, I am sick and scared and sad. I'm wishing I weren't getting so many random apologies from people who found the villain in Feed cartoony and unrealistic, but now find him horrifyingly plausible. I'm wishing

Ahh, how I'd love to read this - as well as Rollind In The Deep.
But 40$ plus international shipping is quite hefty, especially für 112 pages :/

In any case, I hope (for you) that it sells out just as quickly as Rolling in the Deep and brings its readers...uhm...if not exactly joy, then pleasure and/or excitement. (It doesn't read like a particularly joyful story ;) )

Yeah, it's a pickle. They cost as much as they do because they're gorgeous books, as much artifacts as items: extremely high-quality construction, signed, numbered, etc. But that means the prices don't really come down.

The one thing you might do is check with Borderlands Books, in San Francisco, on whether they're planning to stock the title. They can sometimes bring the cost of shipping down a bit, since they're coastal and also doing it by hand, rather than on an institutional level.

I definitely agree, Rolling in the Deep was gorgeous to behold. Other books from them have been similarly gorgeous. It is a hard cost, but worth it in the end.

They really are lovely.

Oh, I am sure it is well worth the price - and I do love it when books get extra shiny special editions.
Even if I can't 'profit' from it, I am sure it will make others happy :)

I'll keep an eye out for Borderland Books then, thank you for the suggestion.
