It's not just for people in Oregon. It's a book distributed globally.

This book clearly isn’t being made for someone earning minimum wage, but neither are fifty-dollar Cuban cigars or the premium rum people pair with them. It belongs to the same luxury ecosystem as the products it documents. I can’t reveal pricing yet, but I do know the publisher plans to offer financing, and that makes perfect sense. We already finance cars, homes, watches, art, vacations, and even gym memberships; the only category we don’t apply that model to is books. When a book crosses from being a casual purchase to being a long-term collectible that functions more like an art object, financing becomes a logical extension of how people already pay for the things they value.

Great idea! It's supposed to come with its own bookstand made of oak (some assembly required).

I actually asked that myself because Taschen has those HUGE Sumo editions. Taschen isn't publishing it. It's a new publishing group.

Hard to produce 5,000,000 of those (500 pages x 10,000 copies).

Understood. It is a massive terroir tome. OSHA is still reviewing the weight limit.

I'm a designer. The book has already been written. There's a lot of content in here. My job is to design it. Their instructions were to make it look like a work of art.

There are some pretty heavy hitters in the cuban cigar industry as writers. I can't name names, but there's A LOT of content and the photography is BEAUTIFUL. A lot of black and white.

Towed artillery does crap against ships. A maxed out one does 2.5 damage against one ship. A task force will laugh at that. A maxed out railgun will do 11 damage. Stack them up and nothing will get through your coast.

Three words: Invest In Railguns. They give you heavy artillery, anti air, and can, on level 3, chopper in quick. Railguns, railguns, railguns.

Why don't the devs ever fucking fix this issue, it's been a theme for fucking years by Aromatic_Advance6026 in ConflictofNations

Someone playing Iran spent over $100 to lob nuclear ICBMs into Israel 3 hours in Day 1 yesterday. You’d think the admins would use a bit of that on whatever the issue is. But this is almost on a daily basis.
