    I've gotten mine today. Loved the commentaries, and the calendar art.

    The "Quoth the Raven" poem in Book 5 is hilarious.

    Plus we get to see pre-splice V in the new art style!

    My book and calendar arrived yesterday morning in the UK. Both are awesome.

    I had an exam at 1pm and may have lost half an hour or so of revision just checking out the bonus comics and all the comments on the calendar.

    No regrets! (Exam still went pretty well.)

    Yeah. In retrospect, that makes the people of sandsedge seem really dumb for confusing her for a man. Even before the art upgrade, her armor didn't look to me like it especially hid anything as far as her shape went.

    Hmmmm...noticed something slightly odd, the strip numbers at the bottom of the page from 679 to 693 inclusive seem to be using a different font to the others? Are they all like that, or have I got a special rare edition?

    Mine have this too. I think it might be the same font, just not in bold. I guess it just slipped through during the proofing stage, but I'm not massively fussed by it. :P

    Yay, my long-awaited package came today!

    Man, what a huge book... [licks lips]. The calendar is just as superb as last year's. I didn't get all the jokes as first glance, though. Need to think about it a bit

    No, it's definitely a different font--compare the 4s: the one used elsewhere has a serif at the bottom, whereas the one on those pages does not. I'm not fussed about it either, was just an oddity I noticed while reading.

    Halifax, Nova Scotia reporting in. Got mine. Happy to get it, but I'm disappointed in OoKooDook to not notify me of the order status. Even now, my order status on their site is reading only as "Order Received." Nothing of it being shipping at all.

    I got my package here in the Netherlands. It does have a sticker stating: "This package has been opened, but no one looked at the contents" (loose translation). The book and calendars are fine though, so no worries.
    Also why am I posting this instead of reading!

    Finally got my calendar and book down here in Melbourne, Australia! Calendar looks gorgeous; haven't looked at the book yet but it is definitely on the hefty side.

    Got my book and calendar yesterday in Vienna, Austria. Minor issue: I had to cut most of the pages by hand. Anyway, great book, I'm currently reading it.

    Too tired and feeling sick to go to the office. I had a strong feeling I shouldn't go. I was right, the postperson delivered my calendars (had I not been home it would have ended up back at the post office). Now I only have the agonizing wait for the LGS to get the books in. Please be soon, please be soon.
    So for those keeping score, packages have finally reached Finland.

    I noticed that the "é" in cliché is in a different font to the rest of the word, on the few occasions when it comes up in-strip.

    This was actually mentioned in this very thread:
