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.


I just received the same message this morning. And it wasn't an April Fool's joke. I've been patient, but I am now getting seriously pissed. Has the book even been published? Has anybody seen a copy? I understand that publishers occassionally, under extraordinary circumstances, miss deadlines. Sometimes by a couple days, sometimes a few weeks. But repeatedly denied, month-after-month-after-month-after-month??? Is the publisher trying to stave off bankruptcy, or is the book sitting on the lowest rung of priority possible, or is this simply bullshit and we'll never actually see the book?

Thin_icE 04.01.2009 08:40 AM

It seems that my book has arrived today :) Haven't been able to see it yet cause I'm at work, can't wait to get home to open it!
It seems that I ordered the English/French bilingual edition, so it must not be a good pointer for you guys.
It should have the 7"s, though.

nicfit 04.01.2009 08:41 AM

We ( we as in : me + other people on here) have a copies, it has definitely been published.The thing I'm not sure of is all those amazon copies are supposed to be reprints (with 7" and all) or what... Not sure it's a publisher's fault, buh...Anyone is waiting for their order to be delivered, besides the ones who ordered it from amazon?

edit: aaah, eventually some seemingly good news ^^^!

blunderbuss 04.01.2009 08:42 AM

It does exist. I have a copy, and it's beautiful. If my house was on fire I would save the book before going back in to rescue my girlfriend.

stu666 04.01.2009 12:14 PM

I'm so glad i choose not to go with Amazon now, blunderbuss did warn of this.

Thin_icE 04.10.2009 07:07 AM

Could someone upload a high res version of the jolie youth pic? I'd really like to make a tshirt out of it :)

greedrex 04.10.2009 07:23 AM

it's somwhere on this forum.

greedrex 04.10.2009 07:30 AM

can't find it.
Send a PM to Nicfit.

alphi 04.10.2009 10:56 AM

Bought mine last week !
I've found it at Beaubourg's library in Paris.

tesla69 04.13.2009 08:33 AM

amazon cancelled my order this week.

toxic johnny 04.13.2009 09:05 AM

I'm sure that you guys will be able to purchase it on home soil when the exhibition hits the US...

There's a mid-res version on this thread, but I was searching for a higher-res version.

nicfit 04.13.2009 11:28 AM

I think there's no actual hig res version, at least in digital form. the guys who had the sirt done by agusta (contrelefuckingsexisme) or in other forms might give you have a better pic. OR we could work on a vectorized version to make everyone happy and print-friendly-happy....
uh!

ps. the fuck, 6 monts delay from amazon or cancelled orders????

LAME AS FUCK

Thin_icE 04.14.2009 04:11 AM

Good thing I ordered my bi-lingual french/english edition. Most of the stuff is in english anyway. I recommend it to anyone who keeps seeing the delivery date pushed forth.

greenlight 04.14.2009 05:47 AM

I want to order mine from Amazon. is it safe? I mean, they should physically have them, once it's up on their page for sale?

pokkeherrie 04.14.2009 05:50 AM

I wonder if I'll ever get to see mine... ordered it on Feb 2nd. :rolleyes:

greenlight 04.14.2009 05:56 AM

from Amazon? yeah, that's da thing. it must be something buried in my subconsciousness. I think I've ordered from Amazon once and it was not pleasure experience.

pokkeherrie 04.14.2009 06:08 AM

nah, not from amazon, but a dutch equivalent. if i were you i'd order it from the publisher if you can.

nicfit 04.18.2009 01:51 PM

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...condition=used

now there's one on amazon :eek::fuckyou::eek:

HAHA LOW ITEM PRICE????
btw, it's not even listed on the Walther Konig store as of now...and no idea why in italy it costs 72 Euros and it's not available (they say 5-7 weeks, but I'm not AT ALL sure they're serious ha ha).

the fuck.
xeroxed copies? 720 xeroxed pages would cost quite a lot...

jennthebenn 04.18.2009 02:09 PM

Just got mine. Shit is epic.

nicfit 04.18.2009 02:11 PM

Where/when did you order it from, lady?

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

I really wish there was a "I don't FEEL like giving anyone else reputation,
so let me give some to whoever I choose" option.

blunderbuss 04.18.2009 02:53 PM

Allow me, madam.

Tokolosh 04.18.2009 06:36 PM

Still waiting for the one I ordered on Amazon... Doesn't look good.
Might have to order it from a more reliable source.

ybag_girl 04.27.2009 03:58 PM

=(
I could not buy it. is exhausted

Chris Lawrence 04.28.2009 01:57 AM

wow, just got this. i didn't really even know what it was but it's sensational indeed! great to see this stuff collected. still soaking it in but there's some pretty great info i've never seen before. and, to my surprise, some info i created!

this along with the 'sonic matters' book are a sonic fanatic's dream. i would kill to see this exhibition in person...

Add the sonic death zines to the mix and I agree 100%.
Guess you'll eventually get to see the exhibition in usa, nouh?yes you will.

skipvacuum 04.29.2009 09:53 AM

for those who ordered the book from amazon...they just dropped me a line to say they shipped it to me...so hopefully all who preordered it ...will get it

sarramkrop 05.03.2009 01:03 PM

 


I've spotted it a book shop on Friday.

Bal 05.03.2009 01:05 PM

i did get one in munich
superb stuff.
couldnt listen to the 7's yet tho.
i need a record player.

vulva 05.03.2009 07:44 PM

I really want this book, but my friend who pre-ordered it for me ended up dropping the order. :(

tesla69 05.04.2009 03:42 PM

Just had my copy dropped off at my desk, sheesh I wish I didn't have to work my 2nd job tonite. Its really big and smells like new ink and the 7"ers are attached inside the covers. worth the wait I think...

RanaldoNecro 05.04.2009 08:20 PM

Decent price
