Plus, nearly all of June and most of the first week of July was taken up by Ramadan, during which Dave fasted, as usual. And, he probably still fasts nine out of every ten days, as he has done for some time--years. So, I think it's safe to say that his daily meals of a can of tuna, jalapeno cole slaw, and canned pineapple (all consumed after sunset and before sunrise) are not exactly breaking the bank.<br /><br />Don't stir up trouble where there is none.Jeff Seilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543690118315946039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-36645328305811030382016-07-07T20:05:15.458-05:002016-07-07T20:05:15.458-05:00Paul, to answer your question, "Yes!".
...Paul, to answer your question, "Yes!".<br /><br />I highly recommend Menachem Luchin, in New York (although I'm blanking on the store name just now). When I ordered a remastered volume from him, it arrived damaged by the postal service. I called his store, he answered, I told him about it and said I could send the book back. He said, no, no need for that, and told me he would personally package a replacement copy and expedite it, at no charge.<br /><br />Somebody wanna post the name of the store? You know, for good old Paul and the ROTW?Jeff Seilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543690118315946039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-67890243316621113882016-07-07T19:59:11.746-05:002016-07-07T19:59:11.746-05:00I LOVE the bonus prints and would be sad to see th...I LOVE the bonus prints and would be sad to see them go. <br /><br />In fact, I rarely frame and hang the basic page prints, but my walls are covered with the bonus prints (and a bunch of Gerhard's stuff too). <br /><br />That said, I'm still in for CAN 5, 6, 7 and so on Bonus prints or not. al roneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-37535721661577936702016-07-07T13:24:24.139-05:002016-07-07T13:24:24.139-05:00One minor thought: If Dave "hasn't paid h...One minor thought: If Dave "hasn't paid himself since May", who's been buying his groceries?

Frustrating since Diamond in the US has 490 copies of Vol. 8. But if it falls off Diamond's system in the UK, you can't even put in a re-order. And, if Page 45 can't get it, pretty much nobody in the UK or ROTW can get it since he's a bit of a global distributor. Annoying to say the least.Sandeep Atwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573022107868770512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-25320322700883564212016-07-06T15:51:29.085-05:002016-07-06T15:51:29.085-05:00"I'm pleased to announce that, for the fi...<i>"I'm pleased to announce that, for the first time since 2009, ALL of the CEREBUS trade paperbacks are in stock and available for retailers from Diamond Comic Distributors now that READS has officially shipped."</i><br /><br />If that's true, why is Page 45 listing 8 volumes as being unavailable right now? Based on what Stephen has said in the past, that's probably due to patchy distribution by Diamond in the UK. If so, that's very frustrating... and must led to lost sales. :-(A Moment Of Cerebushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02718525538144698138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-69021914155425902042016-07-06T14:15:39.289-05:002016-07-06T14:15:39.289-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.d jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638591594985852230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-36948784412845290022016-07-06T14:15:36.405-05:002016-07-06T14:15:36.405-05:00Personally I would like to see Cerebus in a hardco...Personally I would like to see Cerebus in a hardcover format. <br />I work with one of the best printers in Asia which specializes in art books.<br />I have several books in the works including a museum catalog.<br />One book as an example is 4 color, 144 pages, heavy coated art paper, hardcover with cloth and printed dust jacket. For 2,500 copies it's 5.84 per book including freight from Hong Kong.<br />Cerebus would be 1 color, thinner paper and a higher print run which would bring the unit cost down a great deal. The higher page count might not add that much per unit.<br /><br />An alternative might be to break down the series into more volumes, perhaps 10 issues and some bonus material per book. A 30 volume "Cerebus Library" isn't a bad idea. You get more readers into the series with a lower retail price in a higher quality collection.<br /><br />Didn't Will Eisner do something similar with the Spirit Archives?d jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638591594985852230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-56873087211317746522016-07-06T14:00:13.214-05:002016-07-06T14:00:13.214-05:00I'm happy to continue purchasing the portfolio...I'm happy to continue purchasing the portfolios three or four times a year (I think that was the pace originally proposed), or possibly a little faster to make up for the bonus print reduction. The bonus prints were nice, but also a bit of a hassle to figure out and order. (Nothing compared to what it must have taken to print, stamp, sign, and sort them, of course.)<br /><br />And as far as the remastered books go, I can't see spending much extra for a hardcover. A durable softcover binding is fine; what matters to me is getting access to the remastered books as quickly as possible!Scott Lazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15391718828288701413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-9154173750515237912016-07-06T13:49:52.374-05:002016-07-06T13:49:52.374-05:00I like the bonus prints and was under the possibly...I like the bonus prints and was under the possibly incorrect assumtion that the revenue provided by them was considersble.

I mean, I like them, and I even have some of them framed and hanging up, but I'm still going to support the project without them.<br /><br />With the switch from John to Sandeep will we still be able to keep our reserved numbers?<br /><br />Also, I do still have a credit from when I pledged for a CAN3 head sketch. I had been only using it for add-ons so as to not impact any calculations Dave had done around X portfolios = Y dollars coming in. For my part, if it's a hassle to continue to track it, I'm happy to just let it go, but I'm not sure if I'm the only one in this situation or not.Jason Penneyhttp://jasonpenney.net/noreply@blogger.com
