Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
I am 1) excited about the new book, 2) sad that this arc is coming to an end because D is my favorite and 3) amazed that it's been 5 years already since the previous book came out.

I'm guessing this is the best we're going to get for international shipping?

Past experience suggest such services only go up in price, yes. Ookoodook is unlikely to be expanding operations to Canada (or France or Spain, where wikipedia just told me there are other Montreals), I'm afraid.

Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
Right, this.
Think of it this way: From this day forward, every single new reader of OOTS has the possibility to see this cover before they read Blood Runs in the Family. And one of the ways I've most often heard that current readers get new readers to give it a try is by loaning them all of the books, so it's not even an unlikely scenario.
As it is, I regret that the cover of Don't Split the Party sort of spoils Roy's death in War and XPs, though at least the "ghost Roy" is moderately ambiguous—it could represent Roy scrying on the others, for example.
I would say yes, go ahead and cancel and reorder, but I don't actually know how to do that with Ookoodook's software. So if anyone does, feel free to post instructions.
I should also point out that if anyone has any issues that might need personal attention from a member of the Ookoodook staff, this week is going to be very bad for that due to the fact that they're all going to GenCon. So give them until next week before getting mad that they didn't respond.
Probably. Kevin from Ook has told me he has a lead on a service that might reduce it, but that may not pan out.* If they do come up with a way to reduce the price, they will refund the difference to everyone who paid more, so if you can technically afford it (and would merely prefer it to be less) then you can go ahead and pre-order, knowing that if they reduce it later you won't lose out. Or you can wait, but I doubt there will ever be a specific point where I'll be able to say categorically, "Nope, it's definitely never getting better."
* I'm informed that one of the reasons it's so high is that a deal with a previous service that had agreed to fulfill the books locally in Canada and Europe collapsed at the last minute, and there wasn't time for them to find another one before I needed the book to go on sale.Rich Burlew

Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
Would there be any shame in ordering the book in another online store?
I'm not talking about the Big A, but a store dedicated to geeks and nerds without the high shipping fees associated with shipping to Germany.
I want to support the Giant as much as I want to have my own copy of Utterly Dwarfed, but paying 50 bucks just for shipping makes me think twice...

Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
I was under the impression that it's an Ookoodook exclusive, so it seems unlikely other online stores will offer it.{Jossed}
That said, I understand physical stores do sell the book and thus you might be able to purchase it from your local geek culture den, especially if they have stocked previous volumes in the past.

Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
I was able to buy previous volumes at that store, too. Was there a change in policy regarding the latest book?
And sadly, no, I haven't been able to find any stores providing OotS material.
We have a comic store in town that has most books from Marvel and DC and others, but I once asked whether I could order OotS there as well and never heard from them again.

Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
No, Utterly Dwarfed is not an Ookoodook exclusive, and yes, it is fine with me if you'd prefer to get it from a local store. I still get paid from bookstore sales, which is what that would be even if it was online.
The calendar is an Ookoodook exclusive, like it always is, because it's a niche product with a seasonal selling window.Rich Burlew

Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
Could you please add this book (plus the calendar and the A Monster For Every Season Spring 2 book) to the OotS shopping page, so that we can find every book conveniently in the same place?

Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
Nope, no change in policy. You should be able to get Book 6 anywhere you have gotten the books before.
-----------------
Just to clarify how things work for everyone: There are two ways to get the physical book—through Ookoodook and through Someplace Else. All of the Someplace Else orders are exactly the same, from my point of view. It doesn't matter if they are selling it in a bookstore or a small custom website or Amazon or off the back of a turnip truck. I get paid the same amount for all of them. They are all 100% fine.
The Ookoodook orders give me a higher percentage of the cover price, and as a result, we work with them directly. There's no distributor or supplier, it's just me shipping a bunch of books to them and them mailing them out. So Ookoodook sales will likely get to you faster because I ship the books to Ookoodook and my marketing broker on the same day, then the broker mails them to distributors, who mail them to stores, which mail them to you. And if you want to maximize your support to me, then buying from Ookoodook is the way to do so because I don't have to pay the store, the distributor, and the broker. (It also helps me actually pay for the print run, as I mentioned before, because they will send me money right away while Someplace Else money won't show up until February or so.)
But buying the book at all is still supporting me, and I don't want people to feel that they must buy from Ookoodook. Buy from wherever you feel comfortable buying.
And just in general—Let's not anyone else answer questions on here unless you're 100% certain of the answer (such as if you're quoting me). It doesn't help me for anyone to spread wrong information.Rich Burlew

Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
I am illiterate and pre-ordered from Gumroad before realizing that was a digital pre-order when I wanted the physical pre-order. Gumroad doesn't have an option to do anything with my order and if you search the help it basically tells you to contact the shop owner. I've e-mailed them explaining my desire to cancel but don't have a response yet - in the meantime I figured I'd post here. Is there some channel you want communication regarding orders to go through? Like an 'orders' e-mail address or something - or should we just contact you via PM?
I apologize for my illiteracy.

Yep it looks like it got taken care of. Sorry for jumping the gun and posting here when it all got taken care of by Gumroad after all. I need to find a third way to mess up now so that I can complete the hat trick.

Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
I just pre-ordered. I was worried because we're moving soon, hopefully before December, and I'm not sure my address will be correct then. But Tina B from Oookodook helpfully let me know that it's easy to change addresses before they ship, if necessary:
"yes, just email me prior to shipping and I can go in and change it at any time. Make sure you put urgent on the subject line and address change as I get about 1000 emails in december."
(We're downsizing, but OOTS still gets space on the new bookshelf, next to LOTR and HHG...)

Re: Book 6: Utterly Dwarfed (+2020 Calendar) now available for pre-order!
I have a question:
Until now I haven't bought calendars because shipping costs to my country is a pain in the neck and I hadn't realized you could buy a digital version of the calendars. When I realized I could just buy a PDF though I ended up preordering the new Calendar while I was at it.
The trouble is, I really like the artwork I've seen from this calendar, the Monster Season books and so on and I would like to purchase the old calendars as well, but they are all out of print. Now I can see why there wouldn't be any point in bothering to make more physical copies of an outdated calendar, but as far as I can tell it costs nothing to keep digital files up for sale.
Is there any chance that the old calendars can be made available on Gumroad again? Or alternatively that some form of Art Book collection can be sold for those of us who just want the art itself but don't feel the need for a calendar?

Rich generally makes the old calendar pdfs available for sale for the holidays. I think there's a collected one that has the first four.

Who is the hobgoblin in the background of the Calendar? Is he that cleric from GDGU?
There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.
