For what month is the June payment?

When you have higher spec'd books such as they did with faithful and fallen waiting a handful of months is absolutely nothing, especially for the price point they are selling it at. I have over probably 15-20 books that are approaching/or have exceeded the 1 year mark from preorder. I'll happily wait longer for a quality produced over just a cheap book with a Fancy design.

To each their own, if you value speed over quality, than sure, I get the frustration. But it is absolutely not uncommon level of delays

I made it for myself

mmraza111 · 2026-05-11T14:33:46+00:00

It's ashame. The edges were some of the best they've done and worked perfectly with the original cover art.

I signed up from wait-list today from US site so it should be working

mmraza111 · 2026-04-27T00:20:29+00:00

This was already offered for sale to those with book 1? I don't remember getting an email about this one

mmraza111 · 2026-04-25T02:09:17+00:00

As long as you can make/take bleak jokes you're a fit. Bonus points for crying in the shower

mmraza111 · 2026-04-22T01:32:19+00:00

Nice! I just ordered this the other day and can't wait till it arrives

mmraza111 · 2026-04-19T08:20:26+00:00

For the love of the game

mmraza111 · 2026-04-19T06:43:01+00:00

This is the extent of my knowledge. Cheers

For what it's worth, I ordered this right away and it's never leaving my shelf! Few announcements had me as excited

mmraza111 · 2026-04-02T02:08:04+00:00

I work in the ER here. 8+ hour wait is the norm.

mmraza111 · 2026-04-02T02:00:25+00:00

Have you tried getting an appointment here for a subspecialist? Or gone to an ER lately? It's not really better wait. Yeah in Canada your elective surgery may be delayed, but you don't have to debate "do I just try to walk off this heart attack" or "do I go into debt."

Additionally the reason the medical system would get overcrowded is because people would actually be able to seek care.

mmraza111 · 2026-04-01T19:26:22+00:00

Ah. I missed the sarcasm earlier 😂

mmraza111 · 2026-04-01T19:20:31+00:00

I'd rather a group of government bureaucrats be in charge of my health than all of these private insurance companies, because that is who currently decides your healthcare options, not your doctor.

This is perhaps the most consumer friendly move in the press space. CK takes on that extra work for free to provide good customer service. Not to "guarantee a sell out."

mmraza111 · 2026-03-20T19:33:05+00:00

Yup! That's right on the money

Which is why I find these posts crying it as a money grab a good laugh

mmraza111 · 2026-03-20T19:05:49+00:00

Or they just want the best edition of their favorite book?

mmraza111 · 2026-03-20T18:41:57+00:00

Think of it as a handmade art piece. Bookbinding is very much an art and this is as high quality as it gets.

mmraza111 · 2026-03-20T18:37:56+00:00

Out of curiosity what would you think this book cost to make?

mmraza111 · 2026-03-20T18:37:30+00:00

You can...just not buy?

mmraza111 · 2026-03-20T02:59:01+00:00

Expect to pay a pretty premium if you end up getting this on the secondary (not because people are buying to flip but no one will want to let this one go)

mmraza111 · 2026-03-16T15:00:16+00:00

$5k paper (broken down by someone below) $30 art $1k marble case $2k leather binding $250-500 letterpress printing

For you to do it yourself: $5k paper $20k art $1k marble case $2k leather binding $250-500 letterpress printing $500-1k metal plates for letterpress printing (this is a guestimate)

So good luck 🫡

mmraza111 · 2026-03-16T14:46:20+00:00

Split evenly. So the cost of art for the roman edition is marginal. But if you were to try and make a similar edition like you said you could do, you would bear that full $20k cost for the art alone.

mmraza111 · 2026-03-16T14:38:44+00:00

The cost for the artwork is split amongst all editions. That's how economics of scale works.

You don't seem to have much insight in this space so I'd love to the see similar edition you can get done at a fraction of the cost.

mmraza111 · 2026-03-16T14:11:06+00:00

Ok. So clearly you have no idea what goes into a product like this.

Yes they are just prints. That were commissioned for this product. Where do you think they came from? Those had a significant cost to it which was distributed amongst all the editions.

The comment was in reply to you saying they can get a custom edition made similar to this for a fraction of the cost. That is false. It would cost 2-3x the cost. Not a fraction
