John Crowley's Little Big: Special Edition

[womzilla]

Probably all of you who know Little, Big know that later this year, a small press is publishing a deluxe 25th anniversary edition. We've decided that since a) our finances are pretty stable, b) nellorat is likely to do more scholarship on the book in the future (in addition to her paper for the ICFA last year) and c) our tpb is probably one reading from falling apart, we're going to splurge on this and have a nice lasting edition. (Reason d), that womzilla has occasion unhealthy attacks of IT MUST BE MINE-ism (tm John Kovalic), shall not enter into this discussion.)

Anyway. The time has come to actually put money on the table and order the thing. And I noticed something interesting: It's very easy to get substantial quantity discounts. To wit, one gets 40% off the $95 cover price for ordering a mere five copies.

So, it occurs to me to ask: Does anyone else want to go in on a bulk order and save some bucks?

I would be interested (for I too have decided I Must Have It).

Yep, absolutely. Had been procrastinating on this. Can give you $ at ICFA.

Well, no, but I can tell you from direct experience that small press editions of books can be a good investment.

Soren is saying "No...I want it, but no"

I am saying "YES!"

At That Price

It should be letterboxed.
Have copious notes by the author and feature tons and tons of Easter Eggs.

The book isn't being printed until September 2006.

I'm probably going to order when I get five orders total.

I've never read it, but it's been recommended to me. If there's some time, I could probably read it and see what I think. (On the other hand, I tend not to buy expensive editions of books, because I lend my books out rather liberally and don't insist on keeping track of them or getting them back.)

I'll go in on it. Is that five?

[womzilla.livejournal.com]

I believe it is. I will contact each of you shortly.

Ook, just saw this now. Well, if you gather another four, you can get ten. Or is it anything over than 5 is just icing on the cake?

Actually, they claim to have additional discounts for six. I will go enquire.
