handleyj Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available Awesome! Is there going to be a bundle of the print book and the PDF? Does such a bundle usually go on sale at the same time that the print book is released, or is it a "months later" type of date? Thanks!

Steve Long Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available We'll create a bundle like usual, but we want to wait until we actually have the books in hand, or at least a reliable report on when we will. Dealing with Customs can be tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handleyj Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available Sweet! I'll buy the bundle as soon as it's posted. Thanks, Steve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available Not sure if my endorsement will matter to anyone, but I picked up the Bundle and the hardcopy arrived yesterday. More Mechanon badness than I will ever possibly be able to use, but man I love having options. The layout is great. As usual, any thing that tells you where the chapters break is a good thing and in this case the breaks are obvious on the edge of the paper when the book is closed. I wasn't sure color interior art would matter all that much to me, being and old school hero fan, but it's a nice step up. The book seems well bound (don't you love that new book smell when you fan the pages? [takes a whiff]). I hope this test balloon prodcut produced by this printer was up to the company satisfaction because I'd love to have 6e books come out like this.

That's something I was curious about, given the recent Lucha Libre HERO printing fiasco. Did the majority of the hardcopy books arrive in satisfactory condition?

ghost-angel Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available They came from two completely different printers. Book Of The Machine was printed in China. Lucha Libre was printed in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available Which doesn't invalidate my question. Never-before-used printer = won't know 'til they get here, as Steve and Darren remarked more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available Well, since they arrived, and no one said anything... I'd assume they all arrived safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Watts Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available I'm still waiting for my non-advance copies to make it out here, but Jason sez they look fine, and the Cryptic guys sounded very happy with theirs. Except for the customs delay (which was largely out of their control- they could have communicated a couple of things quicker, but we think we've solved that), we're so far very happy with this printer, and we've given them the 6E contract. dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkfu Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available Hello, I received the book yesterday - it looks beautiful! I love the design of the book and I can't wait to dig into the (considerable) content. The art is fantastic too. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Long Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available Well, hopefully most folx will agree with your assessment. There's nothing new under the sun, as they say, but I tried to come up with something not quite so predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edsel Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Re: Book Of The Machine Available I picked up LL and Book of the Machine at my FLGS on Wednesday (6/24). This evening I was finally able to start reading Book of the Machine. The history of Mechanon is a really good read and I'm only just about 1/3 of the way through it.
