Thank you tweetious - Postage is from EU, I can also post all US orders to minerjones

Let me know if you would like to proceed with #5?


Today I received the test print and overall I have happy to see this in print however there are
some minor changes to be made, some blemishes on one page to be photoshopped out,
a line on the cover to be removed, unwanted note to be removed on the back cover and the
last two scanned pages need to be made slightly darker, the line work is just a tad too feint.

I have updated the postage rates now that I know the weights.

Here are the images for the test print.

Thanks to all above for the understanding and patience while I communicated the changes.

[aoluain]

Thank you to all who have contacted me and sent payment so far.

@MoparMiningLLC @Timelord2067, dont forget to send me your postal addresses.

tweetious has asked me a question regarding postage, The service I will be using is
standard mail. It would be financially uneconomical to send tracked unless you were
buying large amounts or the items were higher value.

I have many years buying and selling on ebay and elsewhere and im my memory have
never had anything go missing. [except once where I won an auction at a very silly
low price but the seller said he lost the item and refunded me!!]

Unofficial update - I hope to b taking delivery of the 50 copies towards the end of
next week.

[aoluain]

Unofficial update - I hope to b taking delivery of the 50 copies towards the end of

Update Delivery of the copies is delayed until next week!

Apologies for this update everyone, the print company were busier than normal this
week and didnt make their way through the work ahead of my order and are behind schedule.

So officially there is only 1 test print, the changes from that print have been made
and approved following a screenshot.

[aoluain]

Hello All!

I have been asked if I would be willing to sign and date the books?

I dont have a problem doing so but I'm not sure if everyone who had ordered so far would
want that and its not something I factored into the books.

So let me know if you would like me to sign and date your copies?

If signing, it would be cool to have them numbered as well, if not already numbered that is.

Well they have not been printed yet, they should be printed this week though!

I can ask the printers to "not number" them and in turn I can number, sign and date
them on the back cover where the numbering was planned to be?

A bit of a change in plan but if everyone so far would like it done that way I dont
have a problem with it.

Personally speaking, I would prefer to be individually numbered by the printer (at the back cover as initially planned). Then you can hand sign and date on the inside title page (if an inside title page does not exist, then on the inside front cover or on the front free endpaper)

[ZipReg]

This is a photo from the OP, hence I assume that this is how the numbering from the printer will look like

[aoluain]

@tweetious - yes! this is as planned.

@Zipreg - apologies I misunderstood your post previously and yes I will continue as planned with
the books individually numbered by the printer.

With the addition of hand signing and dating on request, meaning if you dont want your personal copy
signed and dated I wont, but I suspect everyone will want that.

Apologies for the mixup all!

Yep, that is what I was wondering, if each will have it's own number printed on it, or say 1 of 50 as shown in OP.

Happy to hear they will be individually numbered at printer and signed as well! 

[aoluain]

UPDATE

Hello all, I am delighted that we are on track because the books are now printed, I will be
collecting either today or tomorrow and hope to start packing at the weekend for postage
next week to everyone who has
ordered to date.

Here are some images from the print company!

[aoluain]

Hi all, I went to the post office today with the first 4 orders but I had to take back ZipReg's
parcel to repack as it was over weight.

I hope to get this repacked ans sent tomorrow along with some more orders. All orders
to date will be posted by Wednesday.

Also I have updated the OP to include that all copies will be signed and dated.

Cheers, a.

[aoluain]

Hi All, Orders to date have been posted, I expect then all to be received towards the
end of next week ^{all going well}

[Timelord2067]

Hi All, Orders to date have been posted, I expect then all to be received towards the

Thanks for the update - Hopefully mine won't take too long to arrive.

[aoluain]

Small update on postage, going forward from 1st of September I will only be covering
$2 of the postage costs.

I am expecting the first deliveries to be made this week, I would say towards the end and
the EU deliveries to be made first.

It would be great if everyone could let me know either by PM or here in the thread when
they receive their packages.

[Cryptogreatdane]

Received my books today. Well made product and shipped professionally. They look great, cant wait to break out the crayons and regain my youth. Get the signed books before their gone.

[aoluain]

Thats great, quicker than I expected TBH so there should be more landing very soon.

The cardboard mailers are made by myself. I try to have the cardboard "grain" at 90° to
each side so to try minimise bending. I find the commercial ones can bend easier.

I suggest or recommend a good quality colouring pencil, personally I use the Faber Castell
products, particularly the Albrecht Drurer and Polychromos, anything with a fine
point is good though. Avoid felt tip markets they bleed a lot!

[Remsjack]

I received the Colouring Book I bought + the lot 1 I won from Aoluain's free raffle: I will now cherish them for ever! As Cryptogreatdane wrote: get it before it's too late.
Thanks again, Aoluain!

[aoluain]

^
Thank you Remsjack - glad you like them so much !!


28 copies left.

* as per my edit in the OP - postage rates will effectively be increasing by $2 from 01/09/2022

[aoluain]

Has anyone else received their orders?


Last weekend I started colouring my personal copy #25 and started with the first page,
which is in keeping with the theme "Genesis". I finished it yesterday evening and signed
and dated the page. This gives an idea of what your copy could look like finished obviously
in your style.

[Abiky]

Has anyone else received their orders?

I'm still waiting for my book to arrive. Nothing on the mailbox so far. I'm hoping to receive it by the end of the week. 

[xSlyy]

Has anyone else received their orders?

I believe my two copies are coming today. Will update soon.
I love your finished page Aoluain! Excellent shading the backdrop is aces.

😉 fantastic - good news - thanks for posting Timelord!

[Kryptowerk]

Received mine a few weeks ago. Looking great!

Hopefully will find some time to scrabble around during my next vacation in November.

[aoluain]

With a bump there are still copies of this left for sale.

I completed the second design ^P3 this evening, about 15 hours gone into this one.
Just an example of what can be done!

[aoluain]

Rise to the top

Still copies available

Page 5 ^{3rd design} finished today. Before I started colouring this copy I
have been working in Black and White with these line drawings, Its nice to be able
to finally be adding colour to the pages.

Is there a reason that only 1 of the 5 orders for USA customers has been delivered?
Has been about 1.5 months and none of us have received.....

Is there a reason that only 1 of the 5 orders for USA customers has been delivered?

Hi MJ, I dont know the reason and its very strange. There was also an anonymous US buyer
who received their package in under 2 weeks. All the EU packages have been delivered.

For future sales I will have to send the orders tracked.

[aoluain]

Due to some deliveries not being received all future orders will be sent with tracking numbers.

I have updated the OP to reflect the new rates.

Books still available!

[MoparMiningLLC]

What happens for those of us who have paid but never received our order?

[aoluain]

What happens for those of us who have paid but never received our order?

Anyone who hasn't received their order can:

a. - get a full refund
b. - get another order delivered FOC from the numbers remaining.

Apologies that it has come to this!



_{if anyone wants a re-order they are welcome to subsidise the postage cost with whatever they want $2 / $5 - but there is absolutely no obligation to do so}

[aoluain]

Hi All,

Just an update on the missing orders.

There are 5 orders which have not been received. Because there was no tracking involved
it's difficult to locate them ^obviously

It looks like from this thread that I am not bothering on doing anything but I have been
trying to get info on them.

With my last call to the postal service they advised me to fill out an online form ^{which until now was alien to me}
and report the issues for each one which I am entitled to do, so I have done that.

** The issue is that all packages to the U.S have to have a customs declaration sticker
on them but it is something that is done at the post office by the staff there and I wasn't
aware that such a sticker was needed.

I AM GOING TO LOCK THE THREAD UNTIL I GET A FINAL RESULT FROM THE MISSING PACKAGES.

YOU CAN STILL PM ME.

[aoluain]

UPDATE

Sales are open again with 14 COPIES remaining

[MoparMiningLLC]

UPDATE

Sales are open again with 14 COPIES remaining

does this mean you finally got all the missing packages back?

UPDATE

No Mopar, not yet.
I have reserved #47 as the replacement for the Hodlonaut book won by Owlcatz and I have
reserved 2 copies for ZipReg as replacements. All book orders outside those have been
resolved.  ^{there are also prints which may have to be replaced too!}

[aoluain]

B U M P

I have been sporadically colouring my copy and have been meaning to post up the 4th page
I completed.



Also everyone who has bought a book has been sent a few BCB stickers, these are limited
to 100 and all remaining sales will have some stickers included. I will update the OP later.

[Kryptowerk]

Received the stickers today as a nice free suprise in my mail. Thanks aoluain.
Oh and btw, how about making this colouring book part of pre-school "education" for kids? 

[aoluain]

Thank you Kryptowerk, I would think these will make nice Christmas presents!

I have added the image of the stickers to the OP and here it is below also.

These are each 3cm square.

 stickers are in da house

Still copies of this available - great time to make a purchase while BTC is ↑

Been working on this page, about 3 hours gone into it so far, just another taste of what
the pages can be when coloured.

[xSlyy]

I had an hour to be 'unproductive' you could say... Time disintegrates when color blending 

[aoluain]

oooooh very nice xSlyy, looks very smooth - I have never tried PRISMACOLOR's before, reading an
amazon review sure does make them sound really good. Nice to see you colouring your own copy!

Beautiful vivid colors in a nice selection of tones and hues. Smooth even lay down,
wibt skip or hop on the page. I'd always had difficulty wirh colored pencils (too hard, breakage,
poor saturation, etc) until I tried a set of 12 I received as a gift. I have several sets and love them all.

[Timelord2067]

There's definitely some remarkable talent in our ranks - I certainly hope that the two artists I've lined up to contribute to the shared book live up to the works of others.

[aoluain]

Regarding the three "Missing / Lost in transit / Stolen" orders, a few weeks ago I received
confirmation from our postal service that they are unrecoverable because they were
untraceable.

I had previously opened a query for each order, I had kept the receipts and was able to give
all the details of date and location of post and the weights.

Just an update

[aoluain]

After 4 months its time to resurrect this sales thread. There are 11 copies still for
sale and "when they're gone - they're gone".

Also I am still planning on auctioning the single test print between everyone who
purchased a copy of the book.

of the discounted rates I am offering in order to clear these last number of books.
