the editor/curator Roland Groenenboom just confirmed that and gave me some more info:

if there's going to be a reprint of the book, then it's possibly without the 7" records. all the discs we pressed were used for the first edition. the german version will be available within some weeks from the kunsthalle düsseldorf and museion italy, who also deals with the italian edition. the french is available through LiFE.

al shabbray 02.02.2009 05:56 AM

damn I am already broken.
but who cares, eating snow is healthy

pokkeherrie 02.02.2009 06:10 AM

Alright then, I finally gave in and bought the fucker.

Now it's off to IKEA to get a coffee table.

Moshe 02.02.2009 06:16 AM

i just ordered it from amazon. the book, not the table.

pokkeherrie 02.02.2009 06:24 AM

I bought it from selexyz.nl, who have it for the same price as the walter konig site, but with only 95 cents shipping costs.




 

What do you think, should I get the white, the black-brown or the birch-effect one?

greedrex 02.02.2009 06:24 AM

it's too expensive for me...
i'll wait for a possible reissue when i have more money.
but i just can't afford this.
shit.

i don't care too much for the 7inch, it's all crap stuff but i'm desperate for this book. I have just had to spend an awful lot of $$$ on the car and that's exactly the money that's lacking now to buy myself a nice well deserved sonic BOOK. shit.

al shabbray 02.02.2009 02:34 PM

what happened to your car?

greedrex 02.02.2009 02:38 PM

bah , just needed some fixin'. Nothing bad at all. it's just expensive to get things done = 600 euros. I could buy 10 Sensational Fix books with that.
 

al shabbray 02.02.2009 02:40 PM

yes, I am glad that my dad is an oldschool car mechanic, plus I dunno the english word for it, but something like the mechanic for jet/helicopter engines (but he just not passed the final test, so officially just a car mechanic)
helps me a lot being able to drive a car as a student

EvdWee 02.02.2009 04:12 PM

ordered it on selexyz.nl (thanks for the tip, pokkeherrie), will pick it up at the bookstore soon.

stu666 02.03.2009 06:01 AM

blunderbuss 02.03.2009 06:03 AM

Wow - he's selling them at a reasonable price, and with reasonable postage. I hadn't expected that.

stu666 02.03.2009 06:04 AM

nicfit 02.03.2009 06:40 AM

I don't know. that's what I'm wondering too.....

oh man I miss that ebay!!!! item ended!

blunderbuss 02.03.2009 04:16 PM

^
I'm sure the guy will re-list. Try sending him an ebay message and ask him.

al shabbray 02.03.2009 05:18 PM

what?
the 7 inch copies are already getting rare?
thats fast.
thanks to nicfit and this thread to reminding me soon enough

blunderbuss 02.22.2009 03:35 AM

Another UK stockist, for the Northern folk:

CORNERHOUSE
70 Oxford Street
Manchester
M1 5NH

They sell online too, but I can't find shipping costs on the website.

pokkeherrie 02.22.2009 07:29 AM

thanks for reminding me i'm still waiting on mine to arrive.

stadtgorilla 02.22.2009 06:50 PM

it's now officially sold out. but they will reprint. there were 1000 copies initially. they didn't count all those sy fans when they printed the catalogue with those 7"s i guess.

blunderbuss 02.22.2009 06:52 PM

It's sold out at the publisher, maybe, but I can't imagine for one moment that every one of the copies printed is now in the hands of Joe Consumer.

pokkeherrie 02.22.2009 07:05 PM

I'd fucking hope so.


*calms down self, thinking his copy MUST be arriving one of these days*

nicfit 02.23.2009 02:21 AM

I'm glad I bought those 923 copies. Time to open an ebay shop!

Thin_icE 03.03.2009 04:37 PM

I'd like to buy this thing, I completely missed it. Is it still possible to buy the book with the 7"s?

Tokolosh 03.03.2009 05:43 PM

Shit. Looks like I've missed it...

Probably... or else it's at least possible to, huh, listen to them.

Bal 03.04.2009 08:40 AM

ok so am i going to be albe to buy this book at the sensational fix exibithion in dusseldorf (with the 2 7' records)?

tesla69 03.04.2009 09:29 AM

I see this in my amazon acct regarding my preorder
Items not yet shipped:
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....V47081670_.gif Shipping estimate: March 4, 2009 - March 5, 2009 1 of: Sonic Youth: Sensational Fix

Got a new email today telling me it won't go out until around March 30. Poop.

Thin_icE 03.05.2009 07:58 AM

I just ordered a copy from http://www.lespressesdureel.com. I emailed them and they said they're expecting to receive them shortly from the printer and that there will be 600 copies, all with the EPs. Hope he didn't fool me :)

tesla69 03.25.2009 10:04 AM

waah!
new Amazon estimate
Estimated arrival date: 04/16/2009 - 04/23/2009

I've got a feeling they won't be able to deliver, probably
through no fault of their own.
That said, they've delayed other preorders significantly
before and came through in the end.
