    Purchasing T50YS

    Okay, I understand we're not going to be able to edit posts here in this forum, but I wanted to bring over the work that Merouda and I posted in the of Leaves forum for those that are interested in purchasing the book in English or Dutch (or both):

    There may be additional posts here if the book becomes available from other means.

    Go to www.bol.com and select Netherlands as your home country.

    The page for the English T50YS on Bol.com is here.

    I can't quite get my address to look right on the address confirmation page... that is, it seems to want to put my state twice, and all the numbers and place names are reversed. Will this be a problem? Do they have people to correct these things?

    I'm not certain about your state being listed twice, but the number is reversed in my address as well. That should be fine.

    For US orders... the currency is changed automatically?

    29.90 EUR = 35.3165 USD

    Right?

    Then the shipping to the US is about 17 euro...

    17.00 EUR = 20.0796 USD

    So... about $55? Did I get that right?

    Yeah, it'll get to you. My address looks just like it did when I ordered a CD from Sweden and that got to me just fine.

    And if you charged the book at today's exchange rates, $55.40. You might be charged for some conversion fees, too. Depends on the credit card company. You know, unless you didn't charge it.

    :? Damn... 30 euro. I could've gotten the book at his reading for 20 euro
    but didn't have enough money on me. Would've been signed too... :-/
    Anyway, guess I'll have to get my ass to Fnac later on today...

    Does anyone know if this will work for Canadian orders? I just feel a little intimidated ordering from a site where I can't read a single word .

    One copy just went for $430US, I was going to bid, but.. went for a touch more than I thought! http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    $50 for the book almost sounds too good to be true? Any thoughts?

    I think that's the most confusing order form I've ever filled out, hah! almost like going through a labyrinth... I recommend having babelfish up to assist with some of the pages.

    My address was a little displaced as well, nowhere does it say "po box" just the actual box #... I've had this before and the package got through without a problem.

    excuse me while I watch my mailbox.....

    i just ordered my copy. after an hour of staring at a foreign language! :) great directions though, i think everything worked out the way you described. does anyone know how long it takes for shipping? if i read it correctly it looks as though it will take 2-3 weeks.

    It's backordered, so it'll take a few weeks for them to get more copies, then after that a week/week and a half to go through the mail.

    I imagine with only 1,000 copies printed it's not going to be available much longer. Are there no plans for further printing, or, has it been said that there will only be 1,000 printed?

    Only a 1000 copies? You Sure?

    Ah, I think THAT means it's still going to be available, just a very limited first printing... which is probably quite a good thing for those who can get their hands on one.

    Yeah, but no where does it say first edition, eh?

    $55 is pretty steep for an 100 page book...

    I really want it but...HoL was only $20 and over 7 times the size.

    Is it worth trying to buy now, or should I wait for an American edition?

    There might never be an American edition, at least not until a good while after That's come out, so it depends how badly you want to read it.

    Ah, okay.
    Have you read it?

    I'll see how much money I have left over after the holidays I guess, and what people have said about it.

    Well, keep your eye on this thread then. At some point I'll get round to writing my 'initial' thoughts on it, if that makes any sense.

    It's good, I enjoyed it. But I'm not sure I'd pay $55 for it, if you see what I mean.

    Just got my two copies in.. Very fast shipping, total of 11days.. Just was a little upset no packaging whatsoever, the books only put in a box.. some damage to the corners and jacket. Oh well, what can you do? Tomorrow is booked off to read, will post when done.

    It feels like Christmas already.

    So, can it be bought in bookstores in Holland? Like, if I had two friends who were traveling to Holland for Christmas, would they be able to pick me up a copy? Or with only 1000 english copies, would it be pretty much impossible to find anywhere but online?

    :) Sorry for doubleposting but I found some. (Got one too.)

    If you want a copie I can send you one, there were a few left in stock but they cost 30 euro (+shipping costs,
    about 5 euro I guess). So I think $55 is quite fair. They couldn't tell me how much copies were printed. :-/

    I seem to have a hard time finding the "United States" country in the drop-down list. Am I just blind?
