Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
Ah, Customs... I remember when my first order (books 1+2 and game) were held up at customs for like 2 months for no reason. No to mention the thieves made me pay up like an additional 50% importfee or something.
I feel kinda bad for the people not being able to buy Paladin Blues though. I ordered 2 copies back then by mistake and have one of these still lying around here somewhere.Last edited by Tobz; 2011-04-13 at 02:39 AM.

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
Mr Giant, I have a small question. How do I do to edit the shipping address of an already-placed order? I don't see the link to do that from the order, although I already changed the shipping address via the link in the shipping address page. Does that work even if the order doesn't show the updated address?
Thanks.
Edit: Also, do I get charged in my card just by pre-ordering? Or will that only happen at release date?Last edited by Akabana_Shin; 2011-04-13 at 10:51 PM.

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
I got my copy of No Cure! I just want to point out the marvelous assistance that Amy Pike bring me on the arrangement of my orders (I bought SSaDT along with Dungeon Crawling Fools before the announcement of the missing boxes and she let me change DCF to the same envelop as NCftPB). Last time I'd ordered a book there were some problems with the mailing and she resolved it too. A good assistance makes much more easy the decision of ordering books from the extraplanar lands of Argentina.
Thanks!but just as some things can be right and useless at the same time, can’t something be wrong...and priceless?

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
Pre ordered :) Though intrusive family members grouch that this exclusive limited-time-offer never-go-into-reprint thing is an unfair marketing scheme. Ahh, whatever, it's all new content, I won't complain. Maybe it'll even get here on my birthday!

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
People really need to stop suggesting that.
Oookookdook is a company. With a web page. If you need to get in contact with them, use the "contact us" link at the bottom of the company site, not an unrelated forum's pm feature. While he may answer it, you have nobody to blame but yourself if it isn't seen, given that there's a proper channel you should be using.
I'll even provide the direct link for you here http://ookoodook.wufoo.com/forms/m7x3p9/Last edited by NerfTW; 2011-04-14 at 10:30 AM.

My first OoTS book was OtOPCs, I got it from my brother as a Christmas gift, he was the one who got me hooked on OoTS in the first place.

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
Only heard about this just now (been busy in the past couple of months), ordered right away. I'm certainly glad it was still in preorders and I didn't miss it, considering there won't be more prints of it.
Can't wait to read it, Giant. Even though I won't be able to until 2012 :P (I'm having it shipped to my US address but I'm moving back to France in early May, until 2012. Still made sense to have it shipped to the US because I don't have an address in France yet. Long story).
My only disappointment is that I missed the donation. Thankfully you were able to donate a lot, so that's a relief.

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
Got three on order, one for me and another for my two friends who also love OOTS. As we're a 4E group it does interest us more.
Worked out to be $75 AU for the books. Not bad, keep that dollar where it is, America, and I'll keep on shopping.

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
I'm really not sure I understand why Rich/APE are still using the archaic old way of printing a bunch of books, and then letting them go out of stock when they are sold.
I took a look on www.lulu.com for instance: it would cost around $20 per book to reprint out of stock books on demand (e.g., a batch of 100). Just send them the .pdf files and press Print. Those could be resold at $40 each or whatever profit Rich/APE are looking for: it would still be far cheaper than the price of out-of-print books on eBay.
It would also be good to have an eBook version of all of the books to put onto an iPad.
Rich - we want to give you our money. Please make it easy for us.

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
It would also double the price of the books currently, to the point nobody would buy them.
Printing a set run is in no way "archaic" yet. Print on demand services are nowhere near being a viable method of print distribution, no matter what that site tells you. The fact that the per book price would be $20 just to make, the same as they sell for now, should tell you that.

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
Not to mention places like Lulu usually have very specific dimensions they allow (meaning the Giant couldn't set his own) and often want to be considered the publisher, and might not offer the recycled option.
I believe the Giant would prefer to retain control over the products he offers (including price-wise. Lulu and Co charge way too much).
As for ebook files, I would love that personally, as I always try to buy a digital copy of my physical books for travel, but I understand his reasons, and it's his call to make.

Off-topic: Flame of Anor, why does it say "Avatar by me" at the bottom of your posts when you don't have an avatar?

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
I don't? Hmm. I thought it only didn't show up for me. I'll have to work on that, but I'm pretty sure if you right-click -> Properties on the blank space it'll give you the URL of the actual avatar that should be displaying.

Re: New OOTS Book: "Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales"
Hi Giant
I am sure it has probably been previously suggested so please forgive me if I am bring up something already dealt with.
I love your comic (and own all the books published to date) but tend to only visit every few months (then I can gorge myself on a large numbers on comics in one go).
I was very lucky to have visited whilst you are taking orders for the new book but even then it was only by chance I noticed the matter in the News.
Can a mailing list be established for users wanting notification of book printings?
Regards Glen

You can try ookoodooks mailing list, but It'll have other products too. Not that many of them though, so you can probably just sort through them every few weeks.
