I was actually thinking about starting with the Small World key myself and going from there. Especially if the series will live on as teased.

But I just saw the pricing for Centipede's upcoming releases ...

Exactly!
Originally posted by Martin View PostI understand. My biggest issue with PS books is that they feel overpriced to me. Undersized, thin bright white paper print on boards etc. make them feel like $40 books rather than the $100 I spent. Centipede is very pricey but I feel like I got my money worth.

Originally posted by Daninsky View PostIn fairness, part of why PS comes out so pricey is due to us getting nailed on the exchange rate. Even with the GBP being weak as hell since the Brexit vote, it's still pretty expensive to import books from the UK. I do agree that they sometimes feel a bit overpriced even for their List, but paying an extra 25% premium plus international shipping to get them over here makes it even harder to justify the price for anything less than a really stellar production.

Of course, for something like The Fireman, they probably sold out of their allotment pretty quick.

Originally posted by Martin View PostI have found shipping charges fro the UK to be very reasonable, often less than from domestic sources.
After the whole Waterstones shipping debacle with the CTCC limited, I'm really glad I chose to have mine purchased and shipped by a friend. I've never ordered directly from PS so I can't say how well their packaging is. Must be pretty good as I don't ever recall reading anything negative about it. And often with PS editions too, you can find them cheaper aftermarket if you're patient. From looking at their website, often times if seems cheaper to order from them directly, even with shipping vs. obtaining them through another publisher, etc.

Originally posted by Brian861 View PostI completely agree, Martin if you go about it the right way. The way I usually try to work UK books is to have a UK friend either order it for me or pick it up for me locally. Lots of time they receive free shipping within the UK or the book can simply be picked up at a bookstore. The friend/s then pack the books really well and only charge you the exact cost. Plus, I'm usually provided a tracking number as well.
