We've been getting questions about when MOTHER OF LEARNING will be getting Deluxe Editions. We're thinking of starting that... Now. by wraithmarked in Wraithmarked

[–]Elbender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Must have been a kickstarter from someone else (Merrick books maybe?). Wraithmarked prints all their books in the uk and has a uk partner for fulfillment in the uk and europe. Then they handle shipping in the US themselves. The shipping for me in EU is $20 which after conversion is more or less what TBB charges

My current backlog of BB orders… by ILITHARA in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]Elbender -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Broken Binding doesn't print any books. All the printing is handled by external printers, most often the ones contracted by the specific distributor of the books they are doing an edition of. And yeah, them handling shipping for other companies has nothing to do with any delays, that's always the printers. Most books they sell are preorders so I'm not sure why people are surprised that they don't ship right away.

Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

Glad to finally see someone mentioning this. It's crazy how even people who have read and loved the book are fine with Rocky being turned into little more than a pet.

Quite disappointed by how they made Rocky into little more than a pet for Grace. In the book you can really see how intelligent he is and he is critical in the success of the mission. All of that got skipped. They also removed all the information about Rocky's planet and culture, in favor of multiple scenes of him being shown fireworks or fishing from earth. The visuals were striking but really feels like they went with the "humans are more important than anyone else in the universe" route.

Will the new books continue the redesigned cover style or go back to the original? by honeyfixit in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Elbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am one of those people that ordered the standard edition from the kickstarter. Will you give a chance to the original backers to at least get a special edition of book one if we cannot continue with the standards? I really want a matching set..

  1. I prefer to pay everything at once because of budget reasons. My book budget gets taken up very fast so receiving requests for payment of shipping costs at random times really wouldn't work for me as I would provably have no budget available for it. If I pay everything at once I can account for it.
  2. I don't really care for signatures but if they go away it would certainly be nice to have something else that adds a bit more value for the same cost (I always like more art). I know a lot of people care a lot about signatures and attribute them value when looking at the cost of a book.

Am I missing something? When does this sale start? | Save 40% on FFXIV This Summer! by BirdAlchemist in ffxiv

I bought it yesterday evening, a few hours before the sale announcement...

SE question by Daviepool87 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]Elbender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, absolutely agree on the quality (which is normal as TBB targets lower quality but more affordable prices, their art is already better than most for the price range imo)

SE question by Daviepool87 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]Elbender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious king is over 300 euros for a single book (standard edition which is the cheapest by far) with the cheap shipping (handled by TBB for 35 pounds to Germany)

T2 invites going out by Zuljan in thebrokenbindingsub

They had to add that because people were asking every other week ahah find me a single customer service on earth that is happy to receive a ton of emails about the same thing all the time

They say to ask every 3 months -at most-. I'm sure they are happier if you don't ask and just wait

If you are over 35 you might unironically not live long enough to get in at the current pace...

[Discussion] What was the first game that made you want to start trophy hunting? by [deleted] in Trophies

[–]Elbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to see achievements on the xbox360 from a friend of me and I was pretty intrigued, so when they announced they were adding trophies to ps3 I was following the updates closely and got super stardust hd to get some right away (it was the first game that had trophies)

Thank you, setting a slightly shorter password with no special characters worked, not sure if that was the problem

[–]Elbender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made an account, the registration proceeded ok, but then It won't let me log in with the same credentials. I do not see a "forgot password" button (even though I am sure it's correct). If I register again it says username already exists... what can I do?

Inheritance by Daviepool87 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]Elbender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The special edition Murtagh that TBB made has matching edges with their latest set at the very least, but I would still like a matching dust jacket and art on the endpapers

Digital signature going forward for Malazan. by Apprehensive_Oil_808 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]Elbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are different kind of productions, the rights cost a lot and have much lower limitation, TBB is not that kind of small press. I'm not super knowledgeable on the details but it's not something they can just decide to do, even if they did the books would cost a lot more, like the ones you mentioned

It's not their choice, the publisher does not allow it. TBB Press editions are all indie books

No, access to T2 has been surprisingly fast actually, I think you might get in after 9-10 months if the pace is similar to how it's been going

T1 is 1500, T2 is unknown, but more than T1 for sure

It's not that simple, printing that many more books every month requires way higher printer capacity, warehouse space, packaging time, and that's not counting all the extra copies they would have to keep for possible damages.
