Yeah, the tracking area is always blank. It's a bug we're trying to get fixed.
I'll send you your tracking number in a PM.
I really appreciate it. I figured it had just been sent as a placeholder.
A week or two ago I bought a Max Crossbones shirt for a buddy of mine and I could've sworn that there was a tracking number on the email I got. Maybe it was another email.
In any case, now I'm excited. I thought I'd have to wait until the end of February before it shipped! Thanks Emily!
Yay! Finally got the money to order two paperback copies for my friend and I.
I'm so excited for this! And she's going to have such an awesome birthday gift---heck I may end up giving it to her earlier since her birthday is actually next month .
On a wondering side note, how much longer are you guys planning on selling "Effigy Mound"?
Also something for non-US customers to be aware of is that you may be charged import taxes when the package arrives in your country. (For some reason I don't entirely understand, we can charge VAT on downloadable goods but not physical goods.) Usually this is not a problem because most of the stuff in our store has a lower value than the value at which customs charges start being applied, but if you're planning to buy a bunch of stuff and especially if you're getting the hardcover, please look into your country's import laws first so you won't have an unexpected surprise.
I'm from Norway, the one lucky country that is charged VAT on physical goods.:p Last time I ordered, there was the situation where I had to pay VAT again when I got it because the shipment wasn't marked as already taxed. Have you heard any news as to whether Digital River has made any changes to this system?
I have already ordered the new poster and the hardcover Surfin' the Highway, for $99.91 including VAT. Expensive, but I have been looking forward to reading it for years now. Wooohoo!
Just ordered the hardback version.
At first I thought I couldn't afford it after pre-ordering the DVD as well, but it turned out I can just afford it. I should really get a job...
I ordered the hardcover and paperback editions of Surfin' the Highway yesterday. On top of that, I finally got around to ordering The Effigy Mound. What would I ever do with my money without you guys? I probably would have spent it on something boring like clothing or food. I'll have to wait a little while longer since I combined everything into one order, but that's okay.

They've told me this shouldn't happen again, but who knows. If it does happen to anyone, let us know about it, please.
Out of curiousity, how limited IS the limited edition hard cover? how many copies were you planning on printing?
I would hazard a guess that the amount would be "as many as preorders made plus a few more". It would certainly be rather annoying if people who order the HC now get told "Sorry, you missed out on our actual limited print run which we didn't tell you how many".
If preorders are large, I'd hope the number of copies ordered to be printed will be slightly larger...
[In other words, my suggestion is that if you want the hardcover, order it now. If you wait, you may miss out]
We will not take more preorders than we have books. But there's no guarantee how long the hardcover will stay in the store, because they are a limited run. So yeah, if you want it, buy it. And no complaining if you decide to wait and then miss out.
I have images like Allegro Non Tropo, the artist chained to a wall till they get funding for their animated movie, then chaining him to a chair and forcing him to animate to a LIVE orchestra... ahahahaah.
Think we'll get personalised messages like "for the love of god call the cops! It's dark in here and I haven't eaten in 3 days!"
Okie dokie, Hardcover ordered. This'll go neatly with Don Rosa's 'The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck', which is seriously good and if you haven't read it you're missing out, by the way.
Ordered my copy! I wanted the hardcover but I'm a cheapskate Oh well, can't wait anyways I have read half of it already, I went to library once to check it out, and they sent it to my library from the orange county library. But unfortunately, due to my vocabularies lack of the word 'due date' or 'calendar' I didn't return it on time. And boy was the orange county library pissed that a rare book was missing in the middle of Utah. It cost me 5 bucks for every day I didn't return it, and ever since then I haven't gone to the library cause they don't like me

Are you kidding? They love fines, it's one of the ways they keep afloat. Really, how many days did it add up? Ten, twenty? Why that's $100 right there! Of course, if you actually lost the book, I'm sure they'd be pissed.

The orange county library charged me about 95$ and my local library charged me 150$ because apparently the orange county library held our library responsible, yeah, that's why they don't like me.:(
I got my copy today! Read up to the end On the Road pt. 1 So far! Loving it! 1st time I've read the original comics. Myintial exsposure to the duo was the Fox Kids cartoon.
My old copy was actually stolen (accidentally) from my local library. I checked it out and then lost it, so I paid for the missing book (which was cover price plus a bit for a fee I think). Then, later, I found it again! Then it disappeared again, and I never found out what happened to it that time.
If my library had Surfin the Highway I'd pretend to lose it and pay the fee. It's still cheaper than buying it online.... (at least before the re-print was issued)
Heh oh man, Crutons, that's a huge bummer. At least you didn't steal it!
I've heard a surprising number of stories of people who stole their copy of Surfin the Highway from the local library, most of them justifying it by saying they somehow were "saving" the book or some crap. What crap! You're just stealing from a library! How low is that?

When I found out I had to pay 245$ for it I almost did feel like stealing it, but then again I'm really paranoid about the feds finding me for some mysterious reason *cough*Idunwantmyharddrivewithbackupsofover10,000dvdstobeconfusedwithpiratedmovies*cough*
and I have really big guilty conscious so I don't think I could ever really steal something. My friend points that out all the time when I spend large checks on imports for Japanese music that I could download online, and since they aren't published in the US it's not illegal to pirate.
I once took out a Bone book from the library, and being convinced I had already returned it (and telling them that) I ended up finding it a couple of months later under the passenger side seat of my car. Luckily, during this time the library was going through renovations and setting up a new computer system so they decided it must have gotten lost in the chaos. I could have kept it and they wouldn't have ever known, but (being the upstanding citizen I am) I returned it :P

So telltale, are you going to lock Steve in a cupboard with only a pen and stacks upon stacks of books to sign? Mwhahaha.
It may definitely come to that
Think we'll get personalised messages like "for the love of god call the cops! It's dark in here and I haven't eaten in 3 days!"
Does that actually work?
You can't tell the internet not to complain about something. That's a terrible idea.
We don't call thos complaints. We call those "constructive criticisms."
No, but then I get to feel self-righteous and say "I told you so" when it happens.
Didn't think I could get that moved by a comic.

Divine justice. Somewhere, a library is laughing at you.
