HARD COVER Encyclopedia + RARE Autograph Edition

[elianite]

Another speed-bump:

It turns out that the contents of one of the boxes was not packed properly, and nine Premium books were badly damaged on the edges.
minerjones has only 9 Premium books in good condition right now, which means most books will be delayed. One new box is already printing, and a 2nd box will begin this week.

I will prioritize the 9 books to early AE buyers who do not have other books, like Makers Edition's coming from minerjones (as they can then be shipped together).
If anyone purchased an AE as a gift and needs it delivered ASAP, please contact me and ill put you in priority. I hope you can all be understanding to the fact that I am putting quality first.

Thats a shame.  

Looks like we'll have to pack these really well in hard boxes and padding when we ship them out to buyers.  I remember on my thread that some shipping options were shown https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1486405.msg15853242#msg15853242

Looks great.  Thank you elianite, bithalo & minerjones for your efforts on this! 

[bithalo]

Looks good.  Thank you mj.

For anyone curious, this is a "Maker's Edition" with the optional upgraded premium paper, available to purchase by all coin makers who participated in signing for the project.  It should look similar to the Autograph Edition except for the inside page stamp, which would have different wording and Edition number.  I also imagine the AE will have a holo added to the cover like done for the softcover Sig Edition.  This particular book happened to have a set of labels added.

Just a FYI that loose sets of labels will be available for sale tomorrow morning.

Sales of the loose sets of signed labels & holos have finally begun.

UPDATE:

I have ordered the shipping boxes for the books.
There will be a smaller inner-book box. This one will "fit" the book.
This smaller box will be placed into a larger book mailer surrounded by packing peanuts.

In the meantime.... back to sticking sigs and holos

thanks

Thanks for the update MJ, that's great

Can't wait to see them

So you're telling me that you did not get book payment from me then?

[smoothie]

Just checking in to see if my copy ever got shipped out.

Hi smoothie,

Minerjones has your labels.  He would be able to mention if your book was shipped with them.

[bithalo]

Happy to finally announce shipping has commenced on the books.

I will be contacting people to finalize details.

Thank you for your patience.

Great news.  I cant wait to see how the Premium Maker's Ed. turned out as well as the AE's. 

[OgNasty]

I know that 1 person has received theirs.... hopefully will post their review soon.

I've received mine.  Haven't had a chance to really look at it yet, but I was a bit surprised at how large the book is.

[coin@coin]

It is massive, but feels great to hold.

Got my book in today, very happy to finally page through this version and see all the holograms/signatures alongside the work of the writers/editors. 

The packaging was on par and I was glad to receive the book in mint condition.  Thanks everyone for all the hard work!

Great to hear.  I'm eagerly awaiting to see the book myself.

Story Time!

Back in April, wheresmycoin ordered a First Print edition of my softcover. Regrettably, it was lost in the mail.

So I did the obvious thing; I sent him a replacement and came to Singapore to sign it myself!

World class customer service!

He also showed me the coolest physical coin ive ever seen! check it out at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1561362.0;all




On that note, I have three or four hardcover Autographs Editions remaining!

I would like to say thank you for such a great encyclopedia and for all the time and effort put forth by you and the others to make such a book possible. Also thank you to the coin manufacturers who participated in the autographed editions.
