Hey all whats' it shakin' . . . I have a couple questions for anyone who already has the book from one of the shows . . . How big is it? Not how many pages but what are its coffee table worthy dimensions?? Any other info?? What exactly is in it . . . What art?? How much of it?? Any writing?? If so how much?? About what?? How much is directly Melvins related, how much is more artistic and less obviously related in say a hit parader sense . . . it sounds great from what I've heard so far . . . the reason I ask is I want the hard cover . . . but at that price translated to my canadian monoply money it is gonna be real expensive for a book . . . the paperbacks' listing for alot cheaper . . . but if its really worth it, then fuck the torpedos I want it . . . . . . articles, pics, an shit are ok but art and more wierdout kinda shit whould be best. I just wanted to know what was in it exactly to make a more educated decision . . . so can anyone help a brother out??
how much will it be for the softcover from a bookstore. State whether that is american or canadian.
Also, what is the exact date of release???
I thought I saw on this board somewhere in the recent past that the softcover list price in Canada was $25 Canadian?? I donno if thats true or not . . . guy at the record store I go to said it will either be in tommorrow or fridays shipment . . . The $65 U.S. Ipacac is asking translates to like $85 Canadian plus shipping
The book is fucken killer. You could look at it everyday for two years and see something new each time.
$60 at the show. signed by the band, c/d in the back.
There is artwork, pictures and written text.
I am still in pain from the show last night.
I ate at IHOP and left the copy of my book there! I went back right away and got it.
Yeah, I want the hardcover... but we're lookin at $100 by the time it gets up here to the great white north...
It comes out today, btw, Gonzo
what a rip off ;(
$60, eh??
hmmmm...that's a bit much, but i'm guessing it will be worth it. how big is this thing - anyone know? total pages??
Fuck, I don't know how many pages but it has an index in the back that is about 4 pages. If $60 is too much get the soft cover my friend, it is well worth it. There is pages of the band. Buzz is dressed up as Paul Stanely of Kiss. That is worth $20 bucks alone. Add in a greatest hits cd and you are golden. But I am already getting drunk for the Olympia show, you can't always trust the Reaper.
i can probably swing the $60.
they've earned it, i guess.
it looks like ipecac.com have sold out of the book maybe? only 10hours ago there wasnt even a melvins catagory in the store..and when i woke up first thing i check ipecac and it says out of stock...
?
FUCK FUCK FUCK . . . all along I know I want the hardcover and to be frugal is just stoopid . . . midnight yesterday . . . nothin! This morning . . . nothin! Today I get home from work and lo and behold there is finally a Melvins section and its Fuckin Sold Out !!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOST... where can we get in it winnipeg, tell me when you find out!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is available right now.... I was on the phone to them and it was some glitch in the system...... Woohoo!
just ordered mine!!! now I have to wait 4-6 weeks til it arrives down under
no doubt it'll be worth it
:twisted:
I just picked up the soft cover. Im sure the hardcover would be plenty cool, but its still the same thing. it cost me 25 bucks.
I mean, i wasn't expecting much, but the melvins have topped themselves again.

?
that was me above...
iv since ordered the book. im guessing the person above who said they picked up the softcover version for 25 is a bullshit artist?
reason i bought this from the site was that it was not listed by bn and amazon.
What are "Colossus of Destiny" and "If you get bored" like?
towerrecords.com has the softcover version listed for 24.99. I have seen it even cheaper somewhere else on the web as well.
Cduniverse.com....after the super-duper shipping and all that bullshit it was like 30.00 yankee. Which translates into somewhere around 7g canadian but whatever.
what about europe ?
what should i do ?
i want softcover becaouse of the low price.
should i wait for eurpe premiere or order from towerrecords?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3802048759&category=210
it's already found its way on to ebay....over $100.
Damn!!! I wonder what I can get for my copy?
Quote from: Dr. GonzoI think those tickets are pretty much available for you man... you're still in want of them eh????
Yep, I'm in want of 'em...
let me know how you want to do this. I can meet you with cash or whatever...
just got mine today, i fuckin LOVE this thing. i was mainly psyched for the book, as i have most of the music already. tons of awesome pictures, stories, etc etc.. i paid $25 for the softcover, cause i'm too poor to afford $65 for the hardcover (that and i didnt want to wait).
well worth the cash.
Can someone tell me the dimensions of the softcover as opposed to the hardcover? thanks!
They are the same only different.
And the lousy binding is Buzz' greatest joke on fans.
I've had the soft cover since it came out but today a buddy of mine gave me his hard cover version. Not in mint condition but it's still in very good condition. I have a few fancy beers that I will be giving him out of my cellar. Are all of the hard cover versions signed?
I believe so, at least mine is.
I think Paul is right, all should be signed.
This book was done right. Modestly priced, signed, widely available(at the time). Too bad about the new book.
