This stamp could go on the front cover, on the back or inside.
Is there a general preference?
I also agree with the others that it should be inside of the book. Is there a general preference?

I think stamping on the inside of the book is the right way to go. I was concerned when you said it would be on the side, because I think it would wear off with use.
Great minds think alike. Exactly my sentiments.

Don't put the stamps on the outside. Go for the title page.

How about stamping a $100 bill and taping it to the inside cover?

For the low low price of 0.185BTC extra!

Agreed, I can always count on bithalo to talk sense into me

I'm thinking I can put the '/100' stamp on the center of the cover, right under the title. the ''/25' stamp could then go onto the top, right above the title. I don't think those 1 or two stamps would make the book look worse.
The other option would be to put both on the back, where they are 'out of sight'.
Still need to test on a book to make sure the ink sticks, of course
I'm thinking on the 1st right hand page (1st page of paper, not the back of the cover). I would be concerned that a stamp or hand writing smears off the slick cover. I would also sign the books on that same place on the page of paper too. The other option would be to put both on the back, where they are 'out of sight'.

Thats also where I'm thinking of putting the holo for the signature edition. A slick cover may make a holo too easy to remove.
Stamping the inside would certainly be the simple approach. Issue is that it would not be outwardly possible to determine the number, which I think many would find appealing (also helps avoid shipping mix-ups)
The signature(s) itself (and holo) would go well on the 1st or second page of the book (perhaps holo on first page, signatures on 2nd as there is more space)
I will likely be placing all stamps on the inside of the book, as it looks cleaner.
I also tested a Serpcoin and Silver Wallets hologram on the cover; looks like our hologram will be on the cover as well.
If you want to buy the TEST book, PM me. I don't really want to bother with an auction for it. Buy-it-now 0.3BTC, if no offer by sometime tomorrow I'll drop it to 0.2 btc.

Turns out the ink will not bond with the matte cover.
I decided to shorten the stamp, and and will now likely be stamping the SIDE of the book at the bottom, and using a 'sharpie' type marker to input the numbers.

I will begin numbering and signing this weekend.
I will be stamping the books with a
Special Edition
First Print
/100
stamp, and will write each number by hand.
This stamp could go on the front cover, on the back or inside.
Is there a general preference?
Would anyone be interested in buying a unique un-serialized 'test copy' with multiple stamps?

yes elianite i want it. make my copy the test copy please
The test copy would likely not have a serial number, so it would be in addition to the 100. I wont promise it to anyone yet; just dont want to 'ruin' a book unless I know someone will want it
ok so this wouldnt be one of the numbered books let me think

would love to see some photos of the pages inside, and hear some quality reviews, since paperback books can come in a wide range between 'pages are falling out and poorly printed' to 'this will last decades of use and the inside printing is perfect'
You would have to wait for people to receive their books first. I'm certain that everyone is impatient at this point (as it has been quite the wait). I can't wait for it to arrive either! April 08, 2016, 12:58:39 PM
