Hardbacks aren't feasible at the mom...Hey Ian!<br /><br />Hardbacks aren't feasible at the moment for a bunch of economic reasons-- mainly, that it would be impossible given current sales to keep both hardback and softcover volumes in print simultaneously, and once you've "moved over" the format you risk making your old stock of the previous format worthless, something that neither Diamond nor comic retailers would love us for. (In fact, we're still running the risk of that just by upgrading the paper and printing so much.)<br /><br />That's the short version, anyway.Sean Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794186823194520775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-13449691532643068422015-06-18T16:04:44.542-05:002015-06-18T16:04:44.542-05:00Hi Michael

It wasn't like that before probably when Dave was printing these books; even well into the 1980s, printing was still done the old fashioned way.Max Westhttp://www.sunnyvillestories.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-85928418934461443492015-06-17T17:56:05.601-05:002015-06-17T17:56:05.601-05:00Hey Andrew-- thanks so much for your support!
Ye...Hey Andrew-- thanks so much for your support! <br /><br />Yes, the paper change (and a few other technical changes) were necessary to reduce the amount of dot gain that was present in the High Society volume while simultaneously improving the blacks density. More to follow, I promise :) Dave hasn't received his press sheets yet, so we haven't had a chance to hash out/argue over the details yet, but as soon as I can, I'll spill the beans.Sean Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794186823194520775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-29434793342228733302015-06-17T17:43:23.835-05:002015-06-17T17:43:23.835-05:00Thanks for the update Sean.

I will be patiently waiting to place the order in at my local shop for this volume. <br /><br />I finally got my copy of High Society a few weeks back and was so happy to see the upgrade in paper quality. The book is much thicker now! Hearing that you're trying to improve the paper above High Society level completely blew my mind. Well done sir.

Having just received proof sheets last week (using High Society files) testing out a new (to us) printing process and paper, let me just say-- you will not be disappointed. This is going to be a beautiful book.<br /><br />As for the Alan Moore quote, it's from 1999, so presumably still relevant to this material :)<br /><br />http://momentofcerebus.blogspot.com/2012/07/correspondence-from-hell.html<br /><br />Sean Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794186823194520775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-83091531350174361192015-06-17T13:29:12.120-05:002015-06-17T13:29:12.120-05:00I hadn't planned on replacing any of my old ph...I hadn't planned on replacing any of my old phone books besides HS but that book and these updates are offering convincing evidence that I should, at least for these much older volumes. I am thoroughly enjoying rereading HS on clean white paper, lingering over some of those pages, especially the ones where Dave did provide significant background detail--the campaign chapters in particular. <br /><br />How old is the Alan Moore quote in the ad? It's a great line. <br /><br />Michael Grabowskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-51106202824684880132015-06-17T12:23:15.525-05:002015-06-17T12:23:15.525-05:00If I'm not mistaken, what's up there now i...If I'm not mistaken, what's up there now is the previous version that was made in conjunction with the High Society Audio/Visual project. But as I don't run the site, I don't know for sure! You'd have to ask George (who currently runs the site) or Sandeep (who has been in charge of the social media campaign the past 6 weeks) when it's going to happen.Sean Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794186823194520775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-11700118084916800622015-06-17T12:15:51.489-05:002015-06-17T12:15:51.489-05:00Actually HS is now up there!Actually HS is now up there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-78533336923357323172015-06-17T11:38:47.191-05:002015-06-17T11:38:47.191-05:00Heylo anonymous!
