@elianite
I am glad to see all the editing is done and that your book is going to print, I am very excited to see the end result! and I am very happy I was able to be of assistance in getting it to that point.
if there is a numbered edition - I would like to try and reserve #76 if possible.

Editing & formatting is complete. Looks like we are coming to 320 pages on the 8.5x11, and ~500 on 6x9 which comes out later. 5.5x8.5 as originally planned may be too small for this much text.
I have begun signing with my digital pen.
The cover needs to be reformatted for the finalized page count.
The back cover text still needs a bit of editing. It will likely not be the same as in the final product.
The index of the pre-publication pre-print edition will likely be a simplified version of the final product.
Proceeding to printing within days.

I'll take #64 if still available

Still fine-tuning the formatting stuff, took a bit longer than expected.
All 660 citations are done. Still aiming to start printing this month, if no surprises.

I'm excited to get mine. 
I can't speak for anyone else, but if it gets delayed some, that's okay with me because it's better to do it right the first time. Delays are kinda expected also.

Quick update.
The final copy-editing round is finishing up this week, and I am over halfway done with adding citations to the text.
The text is now being worked in the measurements that it will appear in the book, and there is still some work to be done in formatting to ensure block quotes appear right, etc.
The Index is not yet complete.
There is now a slight delay, as I left my monitor's power cord in another country and spilled tea on my laptop, damaging some functions. A new power cord is on the way. That said, things are still on track to print in July. Hopefully, mid-July.

I was able to get on the wait list for the hardcover; due to the high serial number I was assigned it looks like the list is filling up quickly. Thanks Elias very much looking forward to the book.
June 02, 2020, 03:35:33 PM
I would like to be in the waiting list as well please

what are the unclaimed numbers?
I don't have a record of the following First Edition softcover's.
A few of them might even lay forgotten in my bookcase. They are somewhere, so if you have one, speak or forever hold your peace.
I won't be assigning specific numbers to anyone on the waitlist just yet, and more numbers will become available especially after 2 weeks. Low numbers will likely be auctioned.
update: 11 of them are already found!
I may be able to offer non-numbered copies to those who miss out on the 121, but these will certainly be phased out upon official publication which will happen in late summer or early fall.
if you do take reservations for numbers - I would love #76

I've now messaged everyone who bought the numbered softcover FIRST PRINT's and hardcover AUTOGRAPHS EDITION's directly from me via the forum.
If you have a numbered FIRST PRINT and did not receive a message (and did not chat with me about it already), MESSAGE ME ASAP so that I can assign you your number. There is a growing waitlist, and in a week or so I will start assigning the 'unclaimed' numbers to them at which point you will be out of luck. There are up to ~25 'unclaimed' numbers; many of these ended up being sold at conferences or distributors or were given as gifts.
If you want to get on the waitlist, PM me.

The cover design has been added
I will be sending PM's to those who have ordered the FIRST PRINT of the softcover & Autographs Edition of the Hardcover.
Feel free to PM me direct. I may create a waitlist for leftover copies. I'll likely give previous buyers up to 2 weeks of exclusive order time.

What I'm now leaning towards is making the FIRST PRINT EDITION special and unique by printing it as a large hardcover in the same size/style as the newer Encylopedia (8.5x11 inches). Strictly limited to 121, priced in the same range as the Encylopedia.
The mass-market copies, which will be priced lower, will be a standard size at maybe 5.5x8.5.
I plan to offer these numbered books firstly to those who purchased the First Print Edition of the Encyclopedia back in 2016, giving them the opportunity to buy this in the same serial number. The same goes for 2017 buyers of the Autographs Edition. There will likely be some leftovers, as many users who pre-ordered the first Encylopedia are no longer active on the forum. Perhaps the lowest 5 or so will be auctioned here later on.
Note that this is not yet final.
The cover design will be posted soon.
