I'm starting this thread for the people who have received their books. ( And hopefully for people to post shots of their books in a foreign habitat, ie not in the shipping boxes they've lived in for so long! )
I haven't gotten my book yet, but I'm SOOOO excited - especially about the Zaebos spread!

I know some of you have got yours already! How do you like them?
The only thing that I'm slightly disappointed with them is in the nighttime scenes. When I got the proofs sent to me those pages were BLACK. I kid you not, BLACK. So I had to make a truckload of changes to the characters to make sure they were visible.
HOWEVER, to have another set of proofs done would have cost me over $80 (on top of the additional fees I was already paying to upload a new set of files). Not having the money to do this, I opted instead to print the altered pages out on my colour laser printer - which is of comparable quality to what they had sent me, and see if the changes I was making were sufficient.
I got them to a level that I liked and gave them "go ahead and print without sending me proofs" permission. It turns out that I slightly overcompensated and the characters are a little washed out, but better than being invisible!
Aside from that, I'm quite happy with how they came out ^_^

I got mine! I haven't taken a pic of it yet, but I shall! My mom plopped the envelope in front of me barely 15mins ago, and it only took me a moment of "uhhh... what's that?" before I remembered and eagerly sought to open the package, pulling at the edges until I found the convenient pull tab... The book is shiny and I love my asked for sketch! <3 I haven't read through it yet, but I shall, and I shall have to edit or post here again once I've done that and have a pic or two of the book... right now it's sitting next to me on the kitchen table, on top of Journey to the Center of the Earth, which I was about to start reading...

Mine arrived a few days ago! But since that's in America and I'm here in Israel... I have to wait until someone comes to visit, and then I can read it. ^__^

Hmm, my vol 2 still hasn't come in. How long until you think I should be concerned?

There are two US orders that I haven't shipped yet because of goofs on my part when I made my trip down there. I'm mailing them out later today. Maybe one of them is yours? Otherwise, maybe it's just taking a little longer? I dunno.

Alrighty, I have patience, just hoping it didn't get lost in the mail Well, if one of those are mine and even if they aren't, it's worth the wait.

| I had a U.S. order but it hasn't come in yet. Was mine in the list of not shipped yet, or have they all been shipped? Can't wait to get my copy |

| Nevermind, just went and checked my PayPal history and realized that the shipping address I gave you was my old one. I sure hope the post office still has my change of address. |

Mine arrived yesterday. I had no idea what is was so it was a nice surprise when I opened the parcel.
It looks great and I love the little touch-ups, there were a a few changes to the dialouge that were quite interesting/entertaining as well.
I haven't taken a picture of it but I can if anyone wants.

If you can make it interesting or unique, give it a shot!

Hmmm... Tahn, send me an email with your (real) name and I'll check whether it got sent when I went to the US or from Canada.
