HARD COVER Encyclopedia + RARE Autograph Edition

[bithalo]

I'll let Elias chime in.  From what I know, we are very close to having it sent to print.  The autographs and labels will be worked on this weekend so I will be able to ship those to Minerjones soon.  I have to divvy up 20 sets to him and create COAs with the final list of all makers.

How is it going guys?

Is elianite going to give us an update?

Thank you.

[bithalo]

From what I know, the hardcover is ready for submission.  Elianite will be doing this very shortly, if not already done.  Once submitted, if approved, printing can start in maybe 3 days.

All the autographs and holograms are done.  I plan to ship the 20 sets for the AE on Monday to minerjones.

Books will be sent to minerjones for distribution.

So we are getting very close.

YAY thanks for the update bithalo!

Great!

Hope to get it soon and wonder how it will be.

Can't wait

Please note that I have updated the post!
Printing for all books starts Thursday.
Also, check out the awesome progress on the AE edition at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1486405.180

I will PM all buyers shortly with info about the potential upgrade.

Cheers!

Elianite,

Will the buyers of the softcover books earlier this year be eligible to receive a digital copy of the revised edition via PDF? As early supporters of the book, it would be nice to have the updates for this year considering that some of us may not be able to afford or have a need for the hardcover.

Agreed hybridsole, this would be a nice gesture.

Agreed.
I think it is fair to strike a middle ground and allow those who do buy the hardcover some 'exclusive' time with it (in the same way that movies come out in DVD well after theater release).

I will make these available to buyers of the First Print by request.. at a later date. Keep bugging me about it

I ordered a soft copy of this from MinerJones shortly before leaving town for work in July. I just go back in town and was excited to check out the book. I would like to make a correction on the CryptoVest section. Hopefully this can be updated in future revisions of the book.

I have no affiliation with the "UK investment club" named Cryptovest, and their logo at the top of the CryptoVest section in the book is not mine. They simply hijacked the name CryptoVest shortly after I came up with it. I am not sure whether they did this unintentionally, or intentionally, nor do I really care. The point being is that CryptoVest physical cryptocurrencies have nothing to do with any investment club, and never have.

ouuuch, that's a big error.
Had I known this 6 hours earlier, I could have easily changed it. but now, doing so would mean up to 5 days of additional delay, and I don't think that is fair for everyone.
That said, I will certainly update future editions.

I would like a hardcover book with all the autographs, but only if could swap out my softcover for it. I'm not sure who would want to do this, but let me know if you are or know someone.

I am with you on that. I also bought the softcover and now it feels like it was sort of a waste to buy. IIRC I spent like $200 on it for the "signature" edition.

[bithalo]

One thing I want to mention is that the AE hardcover edition won't have the signatures of Mike Caldwell or Matthew Rippon, our co-author.  I especially didn't want to ask Mike since he was kind enough to sign for the softcovers and I wanted to leave something unique for the Softcover Sig Edition.

I also didnt have the nerve to ask.

The softcover was also a first edition, versus the now revised edition in the hardcover.

For me, I would personally want one copy in some form to read and another to put away in mint condition.  Being the collector nutcase that I am, I would want one of both a softcover and hardcover.  

But for someone just wanting one copy, I would completely understand your point.

No worries. I would appreciate updating it in future editions, and I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that I have no association with the CryptoVest investment club.

Thanks!

Finally, that's great to hear!

It will look amazing am sure

I'll be excited to see them myself.      I'm dying to see how they turned out with the premium paper. 

As soon as minerjones receives the books, and posts a picture of the labels stickered into one AE, I'll offer my loose sets for sale, and mail out the other free loose sets.   Should be soon.
