BIRD BOX

Just realized I hadn't updated you all on how VJ Books stacked up against BAM. For those who haven't seen it: https://youtu.be/1uwjU-RV2DE

Question for Dan and/or Brian -

Do you know if CD will be getting copies of the DRP limited version of Malorie? I ordered Bird Box from CD directly (back on7/15/2017) so I'm really hoping you do.

Could be well worth it if BAM doesn't ship well. Never have ordered anything from them.

I have ordered from BAM and had no issue with the shipping.

[jeffingoff]

This is going to be fun. I'll get to compare on speed, packing job, and price. I'll even be fair and offer up that the two different boxes were handled by different people along the way before they made it to my mail carrier.

Ah ok, got it. The BAM signed first edition was about $10 cheaper. So we'll see if VJ was worth the expense.

I meant higher end as far as pricing I should have stated. I've only made one purchase from them but it wasn't a bad experience. Definitely pays to shop around unless they are your only option.

That's good to know. Among their shipping options was padded envelope or box. I chose box. So I'll have two signed first editions from 2 different retailers. I plan on unboxing both at the same time and doing a comparison.

I've found VJ to be on the higher end vs. some other retailers.

His would be EASY to fake. But the claim of buying a phony sig was in relation to a different author. The person who made the claim said that VJ did make good on the error so i'm not too worried.

How would you know it's a fake? lol. Dude just scribbles a line.

I also ordered one from VJ Books. But others have said that their shipping sucks and sometimes they sell phony sigs. So we'll see what's what when I get mine. I'm hoping neither the BAM nor the VJ copies are a bookplate situation.

Didn't see a bookplate in the description on BOM. To me that is like graffiti and I would ask for a refund.

Cool. I either ordered one copy or 5.

BOM checkout is a PITA and a wonky wanker.
