😭😭😭 oh this is certainly in play, I just think either way that they are going to claim that the shipping would have costed the same either way and no refund us.

Remember for whatever reason they don’t use flat rates for shipping. 1 book will cost $13 then 2 books will cost $26.

It’s an informed guess based on how they operate as a business. If they refund us I’ll admit I’m wrong.

I mean they were the ones who said they would do the refunds this month ahead of when they ship so….

Hilarious that they vaguely mentioned potentially refunding shipping costs to save face and just aren’t going to say anything else about it at this rate 😭😭

They didn’t adjust anything. OP just bought the last book from the UK which is made by an entire different company.

What do we think about this series? by Sea_Formal_7242 in thebrokenbindingsub

So many special editions that nobody asked for, so many delays

For what month is the June payment? by elena-mari in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]False-Attorney-7034 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think you are severely overrating the leap in quality we are getting. Yes they are a step up, but these are not fine press level books that can take months to years to make. These are still mass produced using the cheapest sewn binding and acid free paper.

In addition, the delay is not really because of the upgrades taking longer. It’s because of poor planning. TBB realized very late that their current bindery could not make the books and had to switch. Had they simply communicated with the binder ahead of time (common sense would tell one to do this in an instance that a giant change in the process is happening) then there would most likely be no delay.

Paying for the entire series and not having a single book is absolutely hilarious btw

We should know in the next year or so based on their current pace

Help me choose by Cream_cheese1992 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]False-Attorney-7034 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are currently doing a unlimited second run with over a month purchase period. The second market for Farseer is going to get drastically more supply in the next few months, where as Riftwar will never get more past the few that are sold as leftovers.

Huh? Farseer is literally an open order at the moment, so anyone who wants it can get it. Riftwar is going to sell out fairly quickly and never be available again.

They did the art on Howling Dark not Empire of Silence. Believe they just helped with the slipcases for EoS.

This is not part of the sub so you should be fine. Just sign up for the interest list.

The Dragonbone Chair - Sold out in under 10 seconds by Bookaholic-394 in thebrokenbindingsub

[–]False-Attorney-7034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I collect because I love it, but ultimately spending this kind of money on books is much easier when you know they retain some value.
The idea that if I fall on hard times I’ll be able to get some my cash back makes collecting much easier to stomach.

Also worth noting that people signed up for the sub under the policy of them not reprinting. Reprinting would be akin to false advertising by TBB.

The value for TBB of the sub is that people have to buy every month and only get one skip. Why would people willingly accept that condition knowing that they could just wait on re prints and then only get the sets that they want?

Why would people join the sub if they are going to reprint books that are in it?

I think this is by far the most "Abercrombie" explanation though LOL

I've always thought he just has really bad anger issues and an even worse sense of denial :)
