Ran and/or Tom:

I like the idea of the discount for all five volumes, but one quick question: Will we be contacted beforehand to update shipping and/or billing information?  I imagine my current credit card won't work in 2016 due to the expiration date, and as a city dweller, I'm also certain to move at some point in the next couple years.  

[Emil Weber]

This might have been discussed before - what about orders to Continental Europe?

[PCCraig]

Thank you. I just ordered the first volume.

Is there any chance of requesting a signed copy?

[John Crowley]

Ditto

[Ash Towe]

A signed copy would be greatly appreciated.

Shipping cost for overseas orders would also be a help.

[Stephen Davis]

+4 on the signed copy. The author's hands might get a bit tired, but the gesture would be extremely appreciated if possible.

[Anders Rytter]

I think Emil is asking about shipping to Europe? I'm all ears. Also re a signed copy, (by all or any of the authors)

Oops.

[Tommy Williamsen]

Are the volumes shipped UPS or Fed Ex or US mail?  My physical address is different from my mailing address.  If they ship UPS or Fed Ex I will use my physical address.  If US mail then my PO Box.
Thanks

For signed copy fanatics such as myself, the plan is as follows (Applies to US only):

Step 1: BUY BOOK(s)
Step 2: Ship book(s) to Mr. Doak with polite note asking for signature. Include paid return shipping label and packaging.
Step 3: Wait 60-90 days for return depending on location of Mr. Doak.
Step 4: Ship book(s) to Mr. Morrissett with polite note asking for signature. Include paid return shipping label and packaging.
Step 5: Wait 60-90 days for return depending on how polite and/or well written your letter was.
Step 6: Ship book(s) to Mr. Oliver with polite note asking for signature. Include paid return shipping label and packaging.
Step 7: Wait 60-90 days for return. THIS MAN LIVES IN AUSTRALIA PEOPLE.
Step 8: Ship book(s) to Mr. Nishijima with polite note asking for signature. Include paid return shipping label and packaging.
Step 9: Wait 60-90 days for return (maybe sooner, if you get creative on shipping labels included to Mr. Oliver)
Step 10: At this point, Volume 2 will be released, rinse and repeat as directed above.
Step 11: Volume 3...and on and on.

Think of it as a quarterly conference call. There is always something to look forward to.

Tom,

Shipping prices to Canada?

Thanks in advance,

Bill:

Yes, we will have to contact you in a year to update things, if the date on your card is expired.  I guess we'll probably have to contract everyone anyway to double-check changes of address.

[Tom_Doak]

Thank you. I just ordered the first volume.

The plan is for me to sign ALL of the pre-ordered books before we ship them, so that people don't have to ship them back and forth. 

This may be biting off more than I can chew, I really don't know.

[Tom_Doak]

I will have to get back to you all about shipping costs for overseas orders next week.  It was being explored while I've been away.  Just returned home tonight.

Just as an informal survey, would you rather I ship the book the least expensive way [and wait for a while] or have you pay for shipping?

[Ash Towe]

Tom,

One solution would be to contact the overseas purchasers with the shipping options, let us choose and tag it on to the purchase price.

[JR Potts]

Christmas presents just taken care of.....sweet.

Earliest I've finished shopping ever.

[Li Na]

Hello Tom,

Is it possible for international booking
I am in South Korea now and will move to China and it's limit to US.
Please preserve two copies for me.

Thank you.

If you could get back to us before next Friday that would be great - the pound is going to collapse when Scotland votes for independence on Thursday!

I'd take the least cost option as long as they arrive before Christmas.

I would prefer faster shipping, but it's not a big deal if most prefer to save money.

[Ran Morrissett]

A couple of brief answers:

1) Yes, people will be contacted for new addresses and credit cards on subsequent volumes.
2) Yes, books will be shipped around the world. The cost to do so is more than $10 and is being determined now.

Thank you for signing the books before they are sent out. The gesture is very much appreciated!

[Howard Riefs]

Thankful that this ordering process was easier than with the new iPhone 6.
