Hmm, got my copy...very satifying.  Anybody have some ideas on how I can keep my signed copy looking nice?  Maybe some sort of plastic thingamajiggie?

My copy came in a plastic bag, that was in turn wrapped in bubble wrap, in a padded envelope.  I plan on keeping it in the plastic bag after ::shudder:: loaning it to 3 other fans.

go to a office suply store. they have things like sheet protectors, for expanded things. get one of them, and a hard-bound binder slim enough for the book. (from the sound of it, 1/2") then it'll be nice and safe.

What are the physical dimensions of the book?  I've found that a silver-age comic bag fits many things.  Or try a magazine size bag.

Yeah, my copy isn't going to get shared with anyone...I am almost afraid to read it and injure it myself.   Undecided

Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.

That's why I got a regular trade copy in addition to my Limited version!

You know, that would have been the smart thing to do, considering.
Er, well, I could wear gloves.  The rest of the people will have to get their own copies.

I ordered one the day we could order them and it has not arrived yet!  Cry

If this keeps up I have to go up to sub press and knock on their door!

And look very menacing!  Wink

You're not alone, David.  Just be patient a little while longer!  Hopefully, our copies will arrive tomorrow.
