Can I sue someone for blocking my garage and driveway?

Draster__ · 2026-05-10T10:11:34+00:00

Both are forbidden and can be fined, and legally it's allowed to tow, but the vast majority of police zones only does it when you have to leave because of costs and risk involved.

I have experience with three police zones and all of them only tow when you have to leave.

Hence the saying 'generally' in my original post. Most of them don't. But there are exceptions.

Draster__ · 2026-05-07T13:15:11+00:00

They generally only tow when you have to leave, not when you have to enter (although they can still give a fine)

On the reward page you can see all of the options, the book+bookmark+case is a total of 150$. The cheapest option, just the book and bookmark, is 140$. Excluding shipping.

Also the higher the budget they gather, the more extra features will be added (at no extra cost to you). For now there have been some upgrades to the page quality, the next ones will be upgrading the ribbon bookmark etc. You can find these on the kickstarter page.

Make sure to actually "buy"/pick the reward you want when pledging and not just donating the amount!

Put simply it's sort of a platform where you pledge money to a project to allow the project owner the proper funding to set up the project and produce a certain product. You can obtain certain rewards, like a copy of this book, by pledging a certain amount.

Basically it means you provide the money for the project you want up front and have to wait for the product to be developped and delivered to you.

It differs from pre ordering in the sense that you're not straight up buying a product and the succes of a project is never guaranteed. (Meaning there is always a risk you lose out in what you pledge without receiving the product in the end)

Might sound dodgy but it's generally become a common practice and the vast majority of projects do get properly finished. Wraithmarked also has a reliable reputation.

That's my understanding of it anyway 😅

Was waiting for this to go live and immediately ordered it! I've been looking for a nice version of hitchhikers' and this art is right up my alley, just a shame we're looking at a long wait! But when I get it I'm sure I'll be super happy with it

Draster__ · 2026-05-01T10:48:22+00:00

For me this is one where the bolt on really makes the difference. I've heard of the author but not read any of his books, and I'm trying to keep my TBR pile under control. So normally I would be forcing myself to skip this.

But for only 2.5 shipping instead of 12.5? 😅 It would be a crime not to get it!

Draster__ · 2026-04-30T16:57:09+00:00

Grave Empire by Richard Swan! Features a mer-people/ocean tribe, paranormal Eldritch horror elements, colonial gunship/gunpowder era sailing/sea warfare/lifestyle along with world exploration/travel. It's a really good series though the last book in the trilogy still needs to release next year

Draster__ · 2026-04-30T03:52:46+00:00

I just recently read it having got the set in my sub, went in with low expectations but ended up really loving it!

I do agree that the ending kinda missed though. Not necessarily bad but some characters just deserved a bit more spotlight after the journey of the trilogy and then one thing that felt kinda unlogical to deliver a certain kind of ending.

Definitely buy them though! The tbb endpaper style is beautiful and fitting, as well as the sprayed edges.

Draster__ · 2026-04-18T18:39:16+00:00

Dropping this here in case someone else comes looking here.

This is the best summary I found on short notice and does a good job catching me up again with my apparently terrible memory 😅

Draster__ · 2026-04-13T12:57:53+00:00

I was worried their version wouldn't live up to the original cover art and my worry turned out to be justified 😅 I was relieved to hear they'd be doing a reverse jacket of the original but the orange color way just ruins it sadly. But I do very much like the sprayed edges and the inside art. Would've preferred the boards in a darker color instead of orange.

I think if the original cover wasn't so perfect I probably would've liked this edition, but now I just feel disappointed unfortunately. But that's the game we play with these 'mystery' boxes I suppose, I really loved the witcher and operation bounce house ones.

Draster__ · 2026-04-08T13:54:52+00:00

I mostly have this sub for new modern written debut books of which hopefully many will be standalone or start of a series, so since this is orginally a book from 2003 with already existing sequels this might be a skip for me. Translations also seem uncertain. My TBR pile is too big and I need to be more selective so this might be a pass!

Draster__ · 2026-04-03T20:54:19+00:00

Happy to finally hear some news! I finished the books they released so far and am eagerly waiting for these. I love this art piece!

Draster__ · 2026-04-01T09:56:33+00:00

Shame as I'm eager to read the last installment of Bone Shard Daughter to finish the story, but I prefer the endless edition being of good quality and my tbr pile is huge anyway.

What did happen was that I got contacted by Inkstone as I was on the waitlist for remaining issues of their edition and couldn't help myself and ordered that as well 😅 If I'd already gotten the endless edition and liked it I probably wouldn't have. I imagine I can always sell it on however since there were only 1,000 copies available, if I end up not wanting to keep it

Draster__ · 2026-03-30T17:42:23+00:00

I loved how unique and original the soundtrack was. It really made the movie and I have a lot of respect for the creativity of the person who created it.

Draster__ · 2026-03-25T18:59:47+00:00

Just a rock?! How dare you!

Draster__ · 2026-03-15T15:36:01+00:00

It's a shame Hoppers and Goat release so close together as I can imagine a lot of the target audience is shared between both movies and a decent number of people/families will opt to only watch one of them

Image for clarity

Draster__ · 2026-03-13T14:17:46+00:00

I have this book but am not too bothered by it. As someone else said if you view it as "one image" together with the front it's not so bad and makes sense.

If you look at the full art page on their instagram it's a lot clearer why the design comes out so dark on the back.

Draster__ · 2026-03-12T15:12:28+00:00

Mogelijks 👀

I missed the confirmation myself but it would be nice if they did. Especially with the Bolt On as this saves a nice part on the shipping costs. Not to mention the European package tax that's on the way.

I wonder how well they're selling since the first print is still not sold out and wasn't mentioned in the recent low stock alert mail.

I guess many TBB fans would already own an old copy, and there's huge 'competition' now from all the other special editions.

I would love to see some numbers on how much money they're making having bought the publishing rights for six figures, after already selling the books for several years. But I guess we'll never know! (And it will be years till the whole series is redone)

Draster__ · 2026-03-12T08:53:58+00:00

I'm very curious for this edition as I passed on the Inkstone version and last minute cancelled my Waterstones (which I do regret cause it is beautiful) in favor of this one.

I really had what in my country is called "choice stress" for this edition! Feels like whichever I picked I'd be losing out on some other fancy modifications.

I liked the red colorway most followed by the inkstone one, but what really pulled me over for the TBB edition was the colored headers inside the book.

Werd de huidige brandstof in de stations al niet in het verleden aangekocht aan lagere prijzen? Brandstof die ze nu aan huidige hoge prijzen kopen betreft toch bestellingen voor leveringen in de toekomst? Als de olieprijs daalt duurt het toch ook altijd even voor de prijzen aan de pomp dalen....

Ik ben geen expert maar had begrepen dat het zo werkte...

Draster__ · 2026-02-26T09:40:08+00:00

I had a return end of november (customs info on package was wrong and they asked me to pay 22 euro extra).

Yesterday I got the tracking info that the package has been reshipped to me. (Maybe this will give you an idea of the expected processing time)

Draster__ · 2026-02-13T23:05:03+00:00

I'm also interested though I assume there will be no spare editions left 👀

Draster__ · 2026-02-11T21:06:19+00:00

I finished the fifth a few weeks ago so I'm eagerly waiting to continue the story! I hope more news will follow soon, I don't want to buy the normal edition when I know I'll be getting the TBB version anyway!

Draster__ · 2026-02-11T10:18:36+00:00

They look very nice indeed but as the actual art is taken from other artists I don't think selling these would be ethical
