Order Online (and check out the new FLEX cover)

You can now order online!
I updated the Order page at
http://flexbook3.googlepages.com/home

You'll also see the finalized cover design for the FLEX Book on that page (the regular edition - the Hell edition is still under wraps).

The first batch of the book is now almost sold out.

DONE pt.II

After some 18-hour shifts and lots of PC problems (Acrobat can be a real pain...) I finally had all PDFs together, so last night at 6am I was able to upload everything to the printer.

I didn't expect it to be some much work again, after all, I had the contents ready weeks ago, but the covers, ads, introduction pages etc. and then putting everything together proved to be a real challenge.
I have certainly learned a lot about the pre-print process, not to mention the various Adobe products (Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat)... this company seems to have the philosophy of enabling the weirdest and most far-fetched options in their products - and then in turn leaving out the most obvious and simple options (macro recorder in InDesign, "flatten page" in Acrobat etc.).

To answer three questions I repeatedly received:

(1) "Will I get my book in time for Christmas?"
Preordered/prepaid copies should be shipping around Nov 25-30, so Germany and Europe (air, and probably surface, too) should be no problem.
Airmail orders to US, Japan and the rest of the world should work, too. If you ordered your book by world surface mail, you MIGHT be lucky (the fastest I have seen was 2.5 weeks to US by surface mail), but don't hold your breath.

(2) "I have just ordered, will I get a copy of the limited version?"
All pre-ordered, pre-paid copies I have received by now will get the limited version.
I have a few copies of the limited version left, so if you order in the next few days you should be fine.

(3) "I have sent an email and asked for ordering information but didn't get a reply yet"
Didn't have the time to answer yet, you will get payment instructions etc. today or tomorrow.

Anyway, I can now finally start to answer all the emails I received in the past few days, clean up my place and (gasp!) maybe watch some TV tonight.
