I've currently got # 1025 and # 1781 .
And I have to say I agree with prefect47. You have to enjoy the book, make shure you don't miss anything, and that you understand everything.
I only just got into Sam & Max when I decided to play Hit The Road for the lulz the past few days after being somewhat interested in playing the new Sam & Max games for a while.
Then being someone who has never read a comic in his life and has no interest in comics whatsoever, I also got a strange interest in this "Surfin' The Highway" business, which was sealed by the fact both seasons and the hardcover (not even just the soft cover...) were going for only $60. A bizarrely good deal since it's only $10 more than either the fancy hardcover or the season pack.
Then I notice here they've been on sale for about a year and get the disappointed feeling that something's wrong. Then I see as of a week ago someone got one and it's only on 1879.
Why haven't they all been taken by future E-Bayers by now?
Oh well, I think I'll order the Hardcover Special soon.
On one hand I'm a little dissapointed that these haven't sold out as I feel they should have, given the history.
On the other, I just ordered an Eisner pack with the book, so I'm greatful that I was able to get one. I'll let you know the number when it arrives in a few days.
#1933 arrived at my house over in the UK this morning.
I had to go out shortly after though and spent the whole day in London (along with a bunch of other Telltale merch I ordered at the same time). Finally got to open my package when I got back home this evening, so I've had it to look forward to all day! It was worth the wait.

For people in Europe: How long has it taken to come after shipping?
Mine was shipped July 8th but it hasn't come yet. Also, the USPS tracking number doesn't work but it didn't show up as shipped until quite a few days after the 8th so maybe it was out of the system by then...
I just hope there hasn't been some issue with filthy customs trying to ruin my fun

Mine was shipped on July 10th and arrived 5 days later. I took a while until it actually shipped though but that's because I bought the celebration pack and something was not in stock.
The USPS tracking number did not work in my case either.

I bought one today! I have to be guaranteed a hardcover because it says so on my "My Games" page! At least, it better be a hardcover! It has been submitted to the warehouse, so I'll see within 2 months! Yeah, sometimes being in Australia has its disadvantages, but it's a great country! Can't waith to see what number I get... I really hope it's 2188... because I like the sound of that...
Unless you ordered something that they don't have right now, I doubt you'll have to wait two months. I don't know where in Australia you live, but my first order took three weks to get to Canberra after shipping, and my second order didn't take much longer than two weeks.

Yeah, I guess packages can reach my city,
Perth
within 2 months (which I said), but I'm never sure of how long.
eg. They first thing I ever ordered from Telltale was a Strong Bad DVD, and it came 8 days after I ordered it (which just happened to be 8 days after I went to a funeral, so I needed cheering up!), but then one of the other things I ordered, which I ordered on the same day (not counting the SBCG4AP DVD) took until late July to arrive, about 2 months after ordering, so I'm leaving the gates open to allow for delivery times. Waiting a month and a lot after expecting to see a package after 8 days STINKS!
Oooh, can't wait! There's only one month, 30 days and 7 hours to go!
Everyone with a number over 2009 should look that up! I wonder what mine will be...

This will last until February 28, 2200 of the Gregorian Calendar.

By 2100, Emperor Penguins could be pushed to the brink of extinction due to global climate change, according to a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution study from January 2009. The study applied mathematical models to predict how the loss of sea ice from climate warming would affect an Antartica colony of Emperor Penguins, and they forecast a decline of 87% in the colony's population by the end of the century.
Polaris appears furthest North. Polaris' maximum apparent declination (taking account of nutation and aberration) will be 0.4526° from the celestial north pole, on 24 March 2100.

oh yeah...I read it slow too...this comic is amazingly detailed and it's funny to see all the small detail that characterize every single page.
And I have to say I agree with prefect47. You have to enjoy the book, make shure you don't miss anything, and that you understand everything.
December 31, 1879 – Thomas Edison demonstrates incandescent lighting to the public for the first time in Menlo Park, New Jersey. :cool:

I've got number 977.
I had allready read most of it though, as I own the original Surfin' the Highway too.

Altogether quite an interesting year.
And I'm scared to read it, might just buy the softcover to read soon, heh.
Time to throw my hardback copy in the Safe Deposit Box and continue reading and showing off the paperback.
God, I'm such a collector nerd...:(
Same here. But somehow managed ^^!

Predicted events for that year (according to Wikipedia):
Whoopee!
