aRTD book print again?
« on: September 25, 2014, 12:45:17 PM »
Does anyone know if Minna's going to do another printing of aRTD? I missed the first one and I really want to get a copy....

Her statement of intent (quite a while ago, I admit) was that she'll be selling the books left from the initial print run (IIRC there's in the order of one third left now), but won't have more printed. Ever.

You just gotta hope some will be left over when you have the cash - or else beg, borrow and steal the dosh to get it now!

You could always get the e-book? But yes, I understand it's not the same.

Actually, it's quite possible that the interlibrary loan system allows you to (temporarily) get the physical book, too. Minna made sure to have a proper ISBN alotted (978-91-637-4627-7).

If I wanted the ebook I would just read the comic again... I'm an old-fashioned physical books lover, thank you very much,

I really, REALLY doubt I'll find it in my local library...

I get that, but I've moved around enough in the last little while that I'm starting to at least see some of the benefits of e-books, namely, you don't need to pay to ship them back and forth or ask to store them at people's houses or worry that they'll be damaged in transit.

Haha, I mainly use ebooks, too, but out of convenience. All my books everywhere, they don't weigh a bit, etcetera. Still, when there's a masterpiece such as aRTD, I can't just be happy with an ebook, there's no difference between that and the webcomic!

I think on the current print drive someone asked a question and Minna said that the ebook is about double the resolution of the web version... but yeah, other than that (and the book-only extras, don't know if aRTD has those) I guess there's not much difference

I think Minna said she's going to open the aRTD sales after the print drive for SSSS has hit its halfway point - so relatively nearby, I'd say.
I'm waiting for it too...!!!

Open and got one. Maybe it will arrive on my birthday or around that time. That would be really nice!

I got one too. 90$ is quite a lot but at least I need to pay it only once since it's the whole story... It should arrive within a week! Eee!
