[jakebarnes]

Just got my shipping notification, so they are making progress! Really excited to see it in person!

[FireDigger]

Damn man. I'm still waiting for mine. So jealous!!!

[PuffDaddie]

Just got mine. Shipping notice.

[MrBirdman]

Mine is in and boy am I impressed. Out of towners staying the weekend (who don't even smoke) have been enjoying it too. Everything is top of the line, from the pictures, layout, and information to the binding.

So well done @ATGroom, bravo!

[MagicalBikeRide]

Very excited for this. Cool to see updates of them arriving in places close by.

[Fugu]

Customs.... tossers! (as usual)

That is heartbreaking.

 

[PuffDaddie]

Got my book today.

[TR]

Got my book yesterday and Alex, it is an absolute masterpiece.  Well done, Sir!  

[MedV3]

Received shipping notice today. Stoked to say the least. Hopefully it arrives unscathed.  @Fugu my heart bleeds .

They've told me they are holding stock for damage during shipping, so if you email [email protected] they should sort you out.

[Fugu]

Tanks for that info, Alex, very thoughtful of you! I might try, but it really wasn't their fault. Books in parcels were perfectly secured. But obviously, customs didn't bother to repack properly on inspection (top flap negligently held in place by a single scrunched up strip of tape... looks like one book fell out). And UPS, who was the carrier and the broker here, didn't care about it either. Unfortunately,  I couldn't make a claim immediately on receipt, as I hadn't received it personally.

But will try anyway, thanks!

Where does the book ship from? Greece?

[jakebarnes]

Figured I'd post a few photos from the arrival. Absolutely top notch @ATGroom.

[Stevieboy]

Oh man! Can't wait

Oh man. Now I have serious regrets.  😌

[SigmundChurchill]

I just got mine.  For now, I only want to open the retail one.

That's the red one, or the blue one?

I don't plan to do a second edition within five years at least. We only printed 30% as many as the MRN book did, so I think resale values likely to peak ~2027. Suggest you keep it for a while. Selling today would be like selling your Cohiba stash in 2019.😁

The red one is the retail edition.

The blue one is the kickstarter exclusive.

Thanks Alex!  Just opened now.  Looks absolutely amazing!  It shows how much love (sweat and tears too), went into making it.  Amazing job!

[RichUK]

Just had my shipping notification! Really looking forward to next week now.

[Chas.Alpha]

@ATGroom got my notification an hour ago. They’re sending it to my old house in FLA. Is there any way to contact shipping? I updated my change of addy on kickstart but apparently it didn’t make it to distribution.

Thx
